Ultimate creative updo
This bun, done by Martin Cullen for Phyto at the Zero + Maria Cornejo show, is perfect for days when you want something really different. The best part is you can give it your own spin; there isn't a "wrong" way to do this. Here's how to get the look:

Step 1: Start with a volumizing spray all over dry hair to give it texture and grip (you want hair to look almost wet).
Step 2: Create a side part and make two small twists on the left side of your head. Secure them with small elastics, pin them to your head with bobby pins, and spray with light-hold hairspray.
Step 3: Pull all of your hair back and fold it flat against your head, back and forth, pinning as you go.
Step 4: Finish with lots of hairspray (try Phyto Professional Workable Holding Spray, $24).

Experiment time. Take a look (or think about) your photos from the past year. Are you wearing the same hairstyle in almost all of them? Down and straight, with maybe a wave or curl thrown in to "mix it up"?

No offense, but you can do better. There are a million gorgeous hairstyle trends out there worth trying, and most of them don't take any more work than your usual down 'do. So why not try something new? Your photo albums will thank you.

First step in your hair overhaul: inspiration. Thankfully, hair ideas can be found everywhere -- on the street, in magazines, and of course, at Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week. We were just there and saw seven beautiful hairstyles we were inspired to try immediately (and share with you).

All of these hairstyles work with almost any hair texture and medium to long hair. But even if you have short hair, you can try variations on the looks. Plus, with the expert how-tos we got backstage, you can easily do them all at home.

So come on, admit it. It's time to revamp your hairstyle, no scissors or spendy trip to your hairstylist required. Check out these seven new updos from Fashion Week now.
