Hairstyles 2009

Choosing your hairstyle for 2009 is a very personal decision. What looks great for you won't necessarily work for someone else. Each of us is (thankfully) individual and our choice of hairstyle should also be individual.

Hairstyles 2009: Your Face

A great hairstyle will complement and enhance your face. Take a good look at your face what do you like / what don't you like? What features are your assets and should be enhanced by your hairstyle and which would you rather loose/hide.

Most hairstyles which you may choose have a weight or cut line. Make sure this accent in your hairstyle corresponds with your best feature as this is where people's eyes will be drawn to on your face. For example a fringe could reinforce your eyes while another style might highlight your forehead.

Hairstyles 2009: Hair Length

The length of your hair is also worth consideration.

Many people hide behind their hair with large fringes which conceal their face. This can show an insecurity. Hiding behind your hair can hold you back in life, perhaps reducing your earnings or stopping you meeting Mr Right. The old saying is that men who wear beards have something to hide. News readers for example rarely have beards for this reason. They want to appear open, approachable, friendly and trust worthy. Think long and hard before you try to use your hair a shield it could hold you back more than you think.

The different hair lengths can be classified as follows:- short hairstyle: above the collar medium hairstyle: between the collar and the shoulders long hairstyle: below the shoulders

Hairstyles 2009: Hair Colour:

Colour can have a dramatic effect on your appearance. A few streaks of blonde, even blue or red can have an amazing effect. You need to choose colours which compliment your skin tones and natural colouring. At ColourNation our stylists will be able to show you our range of 270 hair colour swatches for hair colours produced in store using the very latest ColourFactory technology. Which we can then mix and combine to create exactly the colour for you. Not just that, but when you've found the colour you want we can produce it again, exactly the same on each visit to the salon.

Hairstyles 2009: Straight Hair or Curly Hair?

Hair technology has moved on quite dramatically in the last few years and the treatments we can now offer mean you can have exactly the hair style you want. Got really curly hair? Hate it? We can now permanently straighten your hair using the latest Ionic Hair Retexturing technology from Japan or temporarily straighten your hair with Brazilian Hair Straightening. Got straight and find it boring? We can curl or perm you hair just how you want it.

Hairstyles 2009: Hair Extensions

New advances in hair extension technology and processing has made hair extensions more widely available. We're really please to offer both Wonderful Hair Extensions and Great Lengths Hair Extensions.

Maintenance: Hair for your Lifestyle

You should also consider how much time you have to maintain your hair. Some styles will need you to do quite a bit of work to keep looking great, if you have a hectic life, as many of us do, ask your stylist if they can suggest something which will require less work. If hair is your passion you may not mind spending the time each day to get your look but if it isn't you'll soon come to hate that style you just 'had to have'.

Celebrity Hairstyle 2009.

We're living in the media age. Images are bombarding us all the time of celebrities wearing the latest hair styles. No doubt you'll see something you really love and want for your hair. We encourage you to bring a picture of the look you want to the salon with you. This really helps our stylists understand what you want. If you want the style from one Celebrity but the colour from another bring both pictures and we'll weave a little magic. BUT always consider that Celebrities often have lots of time or full time stylists to ensure their look is perfect at all times, for many people this isn't possible so choose a styles you can maintain as explained above. Check out our forums for the latest posts about celebrity hairstyles in 2009.

Products.

Ask your stylist which products they would recommend for you to maintain your style when you leave the salon. There are some great products on the market today and having the right product can mean the difference between success and failure of your style when you get home.
