Women's Hair Trends 2009: Styles, Colors, Cuts
There's little point in wearing clothes from 2009's fashion trends unless you have the one other major element just right: hair.
Taking their cues from 2008, in 2009 women's hair trends will play to the extremes. They might be extremely short, extremely girly, extremely sexual or extremely slick. It'll only be the bob hair cut which will sit somewhere to the left of extreme; and you're going to be hard pressed to find that hair style on fashion forward women.

Men's 2009-2010 Hair Trends: Styles, Cuts, Colors
All fashion trends are cyclical, and in recent years have gradually modernised the looks of the 20th Century and planted them firmly in the 21st. And so too it is with men's hair trends in 2009: it's out with the new, and in with the old. Or at least an old hair style with a new twist.
2009 sees men's hair styles fall into two distinct categories: school boy and rocker. But while the rocker look is certainly a 20th Century creation, the resulting hair style finds its roots (if you'll pardon the pun) distinctly in 19th Century Britain. And so it is in 2009; while the odd 2009 runway collection featured something akin to a grunge revival, the majority of us will live out 2009 with a refined, classically inspired hair cut.

More of Hayden Panettiere's bob hairstyle
When we first mentioned Hayden Panettiere's new bob, like so many of 2008's hair trends it was met with plenty of approval. So here's another post about Hayden's hair - this time I think she looks even more stunning, wearing a sophisticated take on the red lipstick beauty trend.
Katie Holmes' short hairstyle: the pixie crop
Taking her hair style one step shorter, Katie Holmes has shortened her bob to a new pixie crop.
The crop is a tough one - it comes up a hair trend every once in a while, but not everyone can pull it off. If you ever even considered chopping off all your locks, now is definitely the time - the crop is high on the list of 2008's hair trends as well as 2009's hair trends.
If Katie Holmes' hairstyle shows us anything, it's how much of a difference styling can make to the crop. In 2008, it's best with a bit of length that can be messed up and tousled a bit - in the guise of effortless, boyish bed-hair. You only need to look at the following photos to see how much less effective the crop is when unstyled.
Hair trends: Selma Blair's 30's inspired bob
When it comes to hair trends, 2008 has in many ways been year of The Bob. Selma Blair's promotional tour for Hellboy II has seen her step out with her chin-length bob in a number of different styles - none quite so charming as this jazz-age inspired side part.
Milkmaid braids: 2009 hair trend
While they emerged in the midst of 2008, milkmaid braids are set to make a come-back in 2009 and figure heavily into women's 2009 hair trends.
A cute style that can be pulled off by many, there's one minor problem with milkmaid braids: you either need really long hair, or a very well-matched hair piece.
Lily Allen with new blonde hair style
Though dirty and platinum blondes are hair colour trends of 2008, we're not quite sure Lily Allen's latest effort fits the bill. She recently swapped her trademark dark, fringed hair-style for this bleached blonde 'do.
If nothing else, she does have the brightly coloured plastic frames on trend.
Rachel Bilson: another celebrity fringe
I've lost count of how many celebrities, models and socialites have jumped onto the over-crowded bandwagon that is the fringe trend. All I know is, we can add Rachel Bilson to the list. And I have to say, she looks as cute as a button.
2008's fringe takes it's cues from Kate Moss' hair; thick, a bit messy, just-out-of-bed... too fine and the sex-kitten effect is lost. And so, Rachel's hair is perfect for it.
Kate Holmes new hair: short cropped bob
Looking at 2008's hair trends, crops and bobs are definitely up there. But first impressions of Katie Holmes' new hair style aren't all kind.
A bobbed style with a very deep fringe, Katie's new shorter cut is looking a tad boyish and un-glamorous. But on these angles, so are most things. We'll reserve judgment for when we see some more snaps.
Camilla Belle with the fringe hair trend
10,000 B.C star Camilla Belle is one starlet who I think looks great with a fringe. As one of 2008's big hair trends the fringe has seen many hits and misses so far this year; and I would put Camilla in the former category.
Her fringe here is slightly tousled and nonchalant, and for someone with a large-ish forehead is a good fit to her face shape.
