Types Of Haircuts For Men

In 2009 hairstyles are exciting, many old styles, but lots of new twists. There is a strong retro influence from the forties, forties hairstyles were sleek, well groomed and can be dressed up for added sophistication. The kinks we see in 2009 hairstyles are a direct influence from this time, with hitherto bone straight hair getting an added flair by the use of curling tongs to add flips and barrel curls. This adds a new dimension to styles such as the bob, which for some years has been a favourite hairstyle. Last year saw Victoria Beckham shed her bob and bravely go for the extra short chop, but this does not signify the end of the bob, it will remain fashionable throughout 2009 and can still be seen on catwalks around the world, as it is a timeless classic. If a hairstyle is feeling a little tired, 2009 is the year to update it. Updating any hairstyle can easily be achieved with the use of clever layers, adding texture and body to otherwise flat hairstyles.

Color too in 2009 hairstyles is quite dramatic, with a strong move towards reds, from deep red hair color to fun and trendy pink shades. Remember that if you choose a red hair color, that this color fades fastest, so hair products that maintain color are a must. As is a complimentary makeup palette, including neutral shades such as gold, chestnut and smokey eyes. Those who still prefer blonde, should go for multi-tonal effects, rather than one flat shade. This gives a more natural effect that will almost sparkle and takes advantage of the latest hairstyle technology. Brunettes are going for chocolate and chestnut shades, steering clear of jet black, again giving more depth and warmth to hair. 2009 hairstyle colors are adventurous, with more than one color being the way forward this year. Layers together with hair color, can really dramatically improve and update a hairstyle, ask your hair dresser for multi-tonal color and choose shades across a blended palette for a natural look. Keeping hair healthy is also essential and key to looking good. This is best achieved through a healthy diet and the use of heat protective sprays when styling, a good conditioner and shampoo. Serums are probably every girls best friend and as 2009 hairstyles are quite versatile, a serum is a must to keep whatever style you choose looking shiny.
