Hair Descriptions - WILD | SMART

http://punkglobe.com/prettypunkbeautyarticle0812.php

When I imagine what a 'wild' hairstyle might look like, I immediately think of punks and the crazy designs in which they style their hair.  Always daring and different, they manage to pull off these wild looks without them looking messy.  My interpretation of the word 'wild' when related to hair would be something that shows diversity and variety within the same hairstyle.

The image on the left is a perfect example of a wild hairstyle.  This is because the volume and styling of the hair is quite different from an every day 'normal' look.  The way that the hairstyle shows different textures and variety in the hair makes it a wild hairstyle for me.

When I think of what a 'smart' hairstyle may look like, I always imagine a style that you might find in an office or workplace, a style that someone might choose for their day ahead at work.  To me, a 'smart' hairstyle is one that looks neat and tidy, with just one texture or 'theme' running throughout the hairstyle.  Relating to this idea, I immediately think of a clean ponytail, that is pulled back neatly off the face without any wisps or strands escaping.

This image is a great example of a smart hairstyle, because the hair is neatly pulled back off of the face, having been braided at the sides before pulling back into a low ponytail.  The way that the hair has been plaited gives it a bit of quirkiness, although the hairstyle still looks very smart and professional.
