Badass Hairstyles for Spring ’09

Posted on | February 24, 2009 | No Comments

Hi, Voula here:

Lately, all my clients have been asking what the new hairstyles for Spring 2009 are. Everyone wants to look hip and fresh for the commencement of spring. Although with today’s weather, I’m a little sceptical that it’s around the corner. Without further adieu, let me announce what’s hot with hair these days.

#1. Bangs! Look on almost any magazine cover, my bet is that the model on the cover is sporting bangs. Pick a bang, any bang: a side-fringe (side bangs), heavy “curtain” bangs, choppy bangs or even those tiny school-girl bangs.

#2. Open-Book Parts. Side-parts are over for the Spring. Part your hair down the middle with a clean flat-ironed hippie-chic look. Or, for you wild girls out there, try a body foaming mousse like Loreal Texture Expert Expansion Body Activating Mousse – 6.5oz, scrunch and diffuse or air-dry.

#3. Bob It. Your hair that is. Short bobs are HUGE for Spring. Don’t be a chicken, get a short, boyish style up to the nape of your neck. Wear it smooth and sleek or wavy. If you really want to step it up a notch, add some bangs to your short new do.

#4. My little pony. High ponies or low ponies, they are all the rage on the runway. Make sure you are using metal-free bands to avoid breakage like GOODY Large No Damage Elastic 14 pcs. To dress them up, wrap a section of hair around the base of your ponytail and secure it witha pin.

#5. Fat Curls. Shirley Temple need not apply. Romantic hair is what we are craving this Spring. Get your 1 inch barrel curling iron (~ Hot Tools 1108 Pro Marcel Curling Iron 1″ ~is my favorite) and start curling. Short hair? Not a problem, use a smaller iron to get curls, but don’t get too close to the roots.

#6. You say “bun” I say “chignon”. Swoop that hair off your neck. Put your hair in a ponytail, twist it round and round and secure it with a couple of bobby-pins. Keep it smooth in the front and loose or messy in the back. Use a smoothing serum to keep those frizzes down.
