From the prettiest bobs to delicate colors that stay and shine, this year has been an invention of varied different aspects to explore and play around with your looks. Piecy crops to cute bobs have all been the rage with changing facial structures and people’s renewed inventions of themselves. Mod blunts, cool curls as well as special extensions have come to be part of night time glam as well as day time fun wear. Celebrities have been, as always, the greatest trend setters as well as inspirations for this year.

Whether they are Kate’s bob, Emma’s new updo, Blake Lively’s braid, Amy Winehouses sailorboy meets sixties’ retro chic look, Charlize Theron’s retro curls, they have all been out there and experimented with people. Celebrities have gone short or wedged or even asymmetrical with the year showing new ways to create and bring about trends in fashion. Depending from what you wish to evoke and have through your looks hairstyling options keep you with endless new ways to explore. However over all 2009 has been for pumping up volume and curls and keeping it long.

The year was not about long hair that looked flat and lifeless but that spoke of volume. Poker straight here or fly away long here has also not been the good thing to sport. The look is of layers and different highlights to reflect your shape. Lindsay Lohan went on plaiting her long her and Kate Hudson wore them sleek, shiny and bouncy. Then you had Hayden Panettiere with her tousled looks and Jennifer Garner with those beautiful waves. Lauren Conrad wore it long and seductive as well.

As reports show it looks more elegant and beautiful with the right waves and highlights when hair is worn down rather than put up. Sleek styles have not been there for most parts of the year though they were seen quite often with some added funk attaching hair extensions. Hair extensions have been the greatest accessory this year. Plaiting your hair a little is well back in fashion and it does not take much time. Make sure that hair is healthy and shiny no matter what hair style you are opting for. 2009 has been a great year while people waved on the shine and health. It has been rather non experimental with the funk and more serious on the health of the hair.

The color was not specific but never global. Lots of highlights and breakage of density meant the norm giving overall hair story the greatest pump up it required. So healthy hair keeps on looking better and better no matter what style you are carrying. It is also easier to carry your hair in any way you wish when you are high on the health side. If you are opting for too much cheap color, frequent changing of hair styles and blow drying you are definitely going to end up with unhealthy, fly-away hair. This is not possible when you are growing your hair long with healthful purposes. So no wonder the overall inclination for 2009 has been for long and voluminous hair! Using a natural mask, vitamin included shine serum, heat protector, heavy duty conditioning and pampering is always a great thing to do.

While long hair took the year by a storm, bobs have still been there in alternatives at certain stages in 2009. Rihanna and Louise Brooks continue with their funky style pairing them with their neat bobs. If you have fine hair and a well shaped face then this is really the ultimate look to flatter you.
