Well. This is the most unexpected hair trend to hit the runway in a while...

For me, the most surprising thing to come out of New York Fashion Week wasn’t Kendall Jenner’s nipples (nipples? On a runway? SHOCKING), but the hair trend synonymous with Donald Trump and balding men everywhere.

The comb-over.

Hair stylists are challenged every season to make hair look new and fresh and to dictate a style we’ll want to copy. But are they officially out of ideas? Do they really need to head into the realm of ‘Advanced Hair Yeah Yeah’ for inspiration?

And which designer okay’ed this helmet hair comb-over?

Alexander Wang’s your man.

The hair at his NYFW show was actually inspired by one of his own drawings. It was a nod to the comb-overs that men sported in the ’60s, with a modern twist – coloured makeup parting.

Presumably, you’re not going to run home, dig out the Fudge wax and try this look at home. But what if you did want to create a dramatic side-swept look without committing a Trump-esque hair crime? Aussie celebrity hairstylist Rena Xydis has some tips.

Xydis was on hand to create the look (albeit a more life-appropriate style) for Sass & Bide’s recent “Novateur” NYFW show.

“My girls Heidi and Sarah-Jane delivered a spirited collection that inspired an asymmetrical hair style,” Xydis says from New York. “It’s a mix of short with long and sleek shine against matte softness.”

1. Wet hair through roots and mid-lengths with evo Salty Dog and dry until bone dry. Dry hair up for extra volume.

2. Set the mid-lengths and ends with the Cloud Nine Standard Wand for a disheveled wave.

3. Using a wide tooth comb, brush hair from the left to the right to create a comb over.

4. Apply evo Shape Vixen to hands and rake through roots to mid-lengths, keeping the comb over shape in place. Spray with Helmet Finishing Spray and set with a diffuser.

5. Just behind the left ear, start twisting hair down to the nape, creating a cornrow. Fasten clip over cornrow to secure shape.

6. Apply Love Touch to mid-lengths and ends and brush in with a wide tooth comb to finish the look.

What do you think of the comb-over hair trend? And we need to talk about those non-existent eyebrows.
