Haircut Trends for Winter 2009

January 7th, 2009

Long straight locks make their way back to the beauty trend scene.
This is great for second day hair, since scalp oil helps to smooth out the hair. Some people can get away with just shampooing every other day.

Short styles - texture chopped layers, razor cuts for dimension, low maintenance and totally chic….like Katie Holmes.

The Bob - the precision bob, coupled with smooth sleek styling, lots of shine, super sexy, sometimes lightly layered, like Victoria Beckham.

Bangs and Fringe for any length hair, heavy brow, fringe and blunt lines are characterizing trendy cuts

Men - The slick look is on a comeback, longer hair on top and cleaner edge the 40′ or 50’s are back. Generally longer hair is becoming more popular again for men as well.
