Hairstyles - Waves 2009

Waves add movement to an otherwise static hairstyles. Leighton Meester has waves in her hair this year and you can add kinks with straightning irons or boost natural kinks with salt spray to make boho waves. Keep wavy hair in check with styling products like serum and shine spray, and in 2009 the trend is for waves in the bottom section of hair, keeping the top section smooth and straight. link....

Hairstyles - Quiffs 2009

Rock n Roll! Do we need say more? No self respecting rock chick would be complete without sporting the occasional quiff. Made popular by Elvis way back when, but no longer tied to the male domain, quiffs can add height and an element of glamour and style to both short and long hairstyles. Practical short styles can be properly glammed up for the evening, with just a touch of styling into a quiff and long hair also can be tied back with the front part quiffed for a very fashionable evening look. Dramatic and trendy, quiffs are definitely all the rage in 2009 link....

Hairstyles - Curls 2009

Curls are cute and corkscrew or big and bouncy, fluffy curls are back and as mousse can make curls crispy, style with cremes and serum instead. This season there is a moving away from dishevelled curls, towards more groomed, luscious looking curls. More glamourous with a retro 1940s feel, with the top section groomed and luxe, whilst the bottom section curls tumble freely and naturally. link....

Hairstyles - Short 2009

Short hair is easy to maintain, so very practical. It is quick to style and this year of course the best exaample of a brave short crop is being worn by Posh Spice, Victoria Beckham. It goes to show that short hair can still be ultra feminine, especially if layers are taken advantage of and the fringe is cut right to suit your face shape. Color can add texture to short hairstyles and in 2009 red shades are the latest color for hair. From low lights to a full head, color can define and add alot to short hair. With quiffs being seen on many catwalks this year, do not be shy with the wax to achieve sculpted looks and lots of height! link....

Hairstyles - Sleek 2009

Get a mirror like shine using serum for slicked back hairstyles in 2009. Retro sleek looks are in, such as worn by forties starlets and they were sleek and neat with a glossy finish, as glossy as the mags they appeared in. To add extra height to an otherwise sleek hairstyle, back comb the roots for extra height beneath and then smooth on serum for a sleek surface finish. link....

Hairstyles - Kinks 2009

Kink the ends of super sleek styles to add a touch of the latest look to your hairstyle. For inspiration see Gwyneth Paltrow in our 2009 hairstyle gallery. Kinks are easy to add if you have hot irons or curling tongs, just tweak the ends of your style to give a flattering touch of interest to otherwise plain styles. link....

Hairstyles - Dark 2009

Think of the dark and brooding Angelina Jolie, as a great example of dark tones this season. Aubergine and deep chocolate rather than raven black, are what you should be aiming for. Dark hair looks great with lots of shine, and so a serum and shine spray are must haves to give your hair a really healthy shine. Some brunettes swear by a beer rinse of their hair to give that extra shine, but here at hairstylezone, we reccommend a healthy diet, plenty of sleep and a good quality shampoo and conditioner to achieve the same this year link.....
