2009 Summer Hair Trends

What's the latest rage for women's hair in 2009?  If you want to be in fashion's spotlight, extreme is the way to go. Whether your hair is short or long, there are a few different ways you can pull this off.

The Pixie Bob is an extremely short cut. Think Nathalie Portman. This hairstyle is extremely low maintenance and can be worn in a variety of ways. Cut in some textured layers  and add some mousse on wet hair, then blow-dry with a small round brush towards the face.  Want to be really extreme? I recommend going peroxide blonde!

A Cropped Bob, like Reese Witherspoon, is another easy hairstyle and can be worn a couple of different ways. For a messier look, cut in some textured layers with a razor cut. Add mousse to wet hair and let it air dry. For some added height on the crown, pull up with your fingers and use a flexible hairspray.  To achieve a smoother, classier look,  blow dry your hair with a large round brush curling your hair under as it dries.

If you can't stand to part with your long locks, have no fear! Long hair is still in, and you can wear it pretty much however you'd like to. Part it down the center, and wear it straight and sleek like Gwyneth Paltrow. If that's too extreme for you, you can wear it in loose waves like Sarah Jessica Parker for almost the same effect.

Long hair can also be worn in updo's and there are a few new things hitting the runways here also. The newest trend everyone is wearing are milkmaid braids! Worn around your head almost like a crown, these braids are both romantic and simple, and are a simple way to add some texture to your updo. Like chignons? Change it up and wear it to the side of your head.

Hair colors have also gone to extremes this season. Peroxide blonde, big blonde hi-lights, and auburn reds are very popular. If these colors don't go with your skin tone, talk to your stylist. They can help you find an edgy color that would be just perfect for you. This season is not for the shy, so don't be bashful when it comes to your hair this year, go for something new and have a fashionable summer!
