2. Octopus bun at Tony Ward

Remember the ninja bun? It’s time to say hello to its new friend, the octopus bun.

This bun fusion was spotted on the Tony Ward runway where models wore their tresses in wet look sleek high buns with the ends of their hair left to poke out.

Editor’s tip: The key to this look is taming frizz and adding shine, which is why we suggest reaching for VO5 Classic Styling Soft Moulding Wax.

Its non-sticky formula can be restyled throughout the day and best of all, it washes out easy.

Lacking creativity when it comes to fringe styles? Why not try a subtle dip-dye.

Models wore their hair in smooth ponytails with full fringes and completed the look with a faint colour dip-dye. Unexpected, yes, do we love it? Yes!

Pictures of ’80s crimped hair might be enough to put you off this trend forever but hear us out. This modern take, spotted on the Georges Chakra runway, is far cooler and well, less likely to go down as a fashion faux pas if worn correctly.
