New Hairstyles Popularized in 2009
2009's new hairstyles were driven largely by celebrity influence, as you would expect. Here's a trip back
to the recent past!
For the latest hot new hair styles, checking out the New York catwalks and pages of Vogue magazine.
Hair Braiding
One of the new hairstyles that became stylish in 2009 was the braid. This trend is set to rock the beaches
all around the globe this year, as braiding is back in all shapes and sizes. Just steer clear of doing anything too
obvious, or this will seem a bit too girly.
Fashion conscience women might try any of these styles of braids:
Front Side Braid Look You can see this look on Lauren Conrad.
Start by applying a styling product to the hair, something that will give it a bit of shine
and make it more workable. Then part your hair to the side, further than a regular side-parting. Section back all
hair that is more than 5cm / 2ins away from the hair line, so it does not get in the way whilst you braid.
Take the biggest section, and start French braiding with the first 1 cm. Work your way down the hair, you can
decide to make it a messy beach look, or a more sleek and chic office hairstyle by how tight and carefully you
braid. Finish the look by pinning the side braid behind your ear.
Mini Plait to Bun Nicole Richie loves to create this look.
Start by creating four French plaits from a slight side parting. Use two sections on either side, one from just
above the ear, and the other from the parting.
Pin these braids at the back and combine them together with the rest of your hair to create a messy bun. Pull
section out and put them back into the band or re-pin them to make it even messier.
Finish off by giving your hair a little spritz of hair spray so it stays put all day.
Designer HairDos
For fabulous new hairstyles straight from the designer catwalks, here's our top tips for inspiration
and style.
Diane Von Furstenberg The amazing beach hairstyles seen on the 2009 spring and
summer catwalk are such an inspiration for holiday hair this season.
Recreate this look by popping hair into some huge heated rollers, and then adding a great hair accessory.
Something floral and fun is appropriate, and an alice band placed near the front of the hair looks cute.
Compliment these flirty new hair styles with some highlights and a bit of fake tan!
Gucci Long and luscious is the right way to recreate the look on the Gucci catwalk.
Pop on a hair treatment, a serum or mask that will super moisturise your hair, and give it bounce and body. Leave
your hair to dry in big rollers for max volume. As one of the easiest new hairstyles, you're now good to go!!
