Women's Hair Style Trends 2009

Add a bit of oomph to a long hair style by wearing it in a heavily voluminous fashion, a look perfect for pairing back with 2009's Bohemian Luxury Autumn (Fall)/Winter fashion trend.

Long Hair

You got short hair trends in the form of the pixie crop and the cropped bob, and in the middle is ye olde simple bob; so what does that leave us with? Long hair in 2009. And it's what I'm imploring all girls grow.

Sarah Michelle Gellar gets a sort-of pob

We've seen bobs and pobs lately, including Rihanna's highly popular slick hairdo. So popular has hair style been, that we're tipping it'll be one of the hottest hair trends of 2009.

The bob trend: Lily Allen's new short hairstyle

Taking her cues from Kate Moss' short hairstyle, Lily Allen has joined the ever-growing list of stars sporting the bob hair trend. Lily's chin-length bob with side fringe has been cut with layering to create a textured look.

Bob hair styles


Precision cut bobs are huge this year, coupled with smooth, sleek styling, a blunt fringe and heaps of shine. Your bob should be carefully crafted to accentuate your unique facial structure, or highlight a long, beautiful neck. Bob hair styles range from ear level to shoulder skimming and are best for straight or slightlywavy hair

. Reese opted for a classic elegant bob.

Elisha Cuthbert and Selma Blair: pixie crops

Pobs and bobs are quite commonplace at the moment, but the pixie-crop is that one step more daring. We noticed a few pixie-crops going around though - and Elisha Cuthbert is the latest celebrity to join their ranks.

Pob to crop, shortest of the short


We have recently shown the Posh Bob (Pob) and Rhianna's ever popular hairstyle. But what about taking it to the next level and going the full crop?

Michelle Williams was one star who took the daring move from long hair to pixie crop. This drastic short style makes her eyes stand out and gives her a very innocent appeal. Another celebrity who has sported a shorter look in the past was Natalie Portman, whose short crop suited her heart shaped face.

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.

Victoria Beckham: pixie crop, schoolboy slick


Taking her cues more from 2010's men's hair trends, Victoria Beckham attended her fragrance launch with a slicked back school-boy hairdo with side-part.

The many sides of Victoria Beckham's pixie crop

The first time we saw the pixie crop hair style on Victoria Beckham we knew she was out there to make headlines. And though the pixie crop is a definite 2010 hair trend, it was from men's 2010 hair trends that Beckham took more of her style cues. Today it's out with the schoolboy and in with tousled, and we have all the angles to show it off.

Electric Pixie:Victoria Beckham's spiked hairstyle

Looking for a way to really rock your pixie crop hair style? Then take Victoria Beckham as inspiration.

Victoria Beckham hairstyle update: longer crop

As far as 2010's hair trends go, not many have been bold enough to attempt the pixie crop. We have seen many variations of the trend on Victoria Beckham, who rarely shies away from dramatic new hairstyles. She now appears to have started the long process of growing her pixie crop out; and what we're seeing on her now is a longer crop with a side-swept fringe

Kate Holmes new hair: short cropped bob

Looking at 2010's hair trends, crops and bobs are definitely up there. But first impressions of Katie Holmes' new hair style aren't all kind.

Hair Trends: Agyness Deyn's short fringed bob

Some are likening it to the hairstyle of Dr Spock. But we think Agyness Deyn's new 'do is more like a modern version of the 1920s Louise Brooks bob. Fringes, platinum blonde shades, and cropped styles have all been big hair trends in 2009, and we're tipping Agyness' new look may just make it as a trend for 2010

Back to 2010 hair trends...



There's little point in wearing clothes from 2010's fashion trends unless you have the one other major element just right: hair.

Taking their cues from 2009, in 2010 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.
