When you go into a hair salon you are faced with lots of decisions. One may be to color or not to color. You also are faced with how you want your hair styled. This then leads to the right hair cut.

There are a lot of ways you can get your haircut. The simplest way is to get a buzz cut. The only question here is what length clipper blade do you want used on it and do you want the sides or back longer than the top or the top a bit longer than the sides.

Next there is the question of a scissor cut versus a razor cut. Sometimes you will encounter a stylist you only cuts hair with scissors. Others use both. And some others prefer using a razor to cut hair. You won’t know this until you are face to face with your stylist.

Generally a scissors is used for a blunt cut edge. The result is smooth and straight. You might use scissors with very fine hair or curly hair. A razor is used for a more jagged edged hair style. A stylist may say they can cut your hair as short with a razor as with a clipper. A razor cut leaves the ends more uneven. A razor will also be used to lessen the weight of heavy hair. A razor can be used to soften and texture thick hair. Which one you choose will determine your final hair shape and style.

While there is a trend towards following the shorter hairstyles now, we should take a short trip back to 2007 where Beyonce was featured in her own video entitled “Me, Myself, and I.” In this video, we see a trend setting Beyonce with a bob haircut before it was even popular.

Now the R&B scene is plastered with shorter hairstyles. Rihanna and Keri Hilson are the ones in the front of this new Fringe fashion, but there are plenty of others playing catch up with great results. Beyonce kept it simple with a slightly longer-than-chin-length cut. And she didn’t use any layers for her bangs or any unnatural colors to highlight her hair. Today there has been much experimentation on the length and angles of bangs that it has opened up a world that Beyonce likely never thought she would see.

Now, Beyonce probably couldn’t care any less about those short styles because she has shown the fashion world that longer hair is still sexy. And she has shown us all that her long hair can be changed into many different styles even with her difficult-to-style curly, frizzy hair. The bob haircut worked for Beyonce because she has an oval face and relatively small, feminine features. But we aren’t saying that only women with these features can get a bob style haircut.

Lucky for women of all face shapes and hair types, there has been so much experimentation with short hairstyles this year, that there are endless possibilities! Short hair is definitely easier to maintain and now it is also highly versatile!

So what’s new for the summer of 2010? It is time to get a new hairstyle which can beat the heat. For women who want to keep their hair short have many options to choose from. Charlize Theron and Jessica Alba have all been noticed sporting bangs. Women can now confidently brush their bangs in different directions like the side-swept or front down. Bangs are common for all lengths of hair and add a bit of style to different personalities.

Summer is hot with bob. The bob cut can be called as the latest attraction for both men and women. There are different bob cuts for different lengths of hair. Some of them suit certain faces while there are some styles which suit all kinds of faces as well. Depending on your personal choice you can choose your favorite bob.

Some celebrities like Eva Langoria or even Anne Hathaway have been seen using the shoulder length style. The bob haircut which reaches the shoulder is pretty nice for women who are very slim and tall. In case you have a nice figure to flaunt then you can try this one.

The ‘messed up’ pixie cut is another hot trend. With small bone features this would make women look perfectly hot and selective among the group. Halle Berry in ‘Die Another Day’ has been already seen sporting this hairstyle. If the summer is too hot, then just get your hair shortened and messy with the pixie.

Coloring can be a great option with the pixie cut and most of them seem to be choosing the golden blonde. But you can also try something different if you want to look unique and add probably some black shades underneath. Consult your professional hairdresser and get the best one suited to your pixie hairstyle.

One of the most popular hairstyles this season is still the bob. The bob has come a long way from the blunt cut style of the past and has evolved into a hairstyle that is versatile, fun, and can be worn by any woman because it is so easy to adjust to suit any shape face. Gwyneth is no exception and she looks wonderful in the long bob she wore for the last trip down the red carpet. Her hair is cut to a medium length, just above her shoulders, and is parted just off center. Loose waves are in her hair from the eyes down, and the ends curl under towards her. The effect is slimming, flattering, and very beautiful.

This is an easy style for any woman to get and just as easy to maintain. If you have shorter hair but want something similar, then when your hair is about the length of your jaw, have it cut into a bob. Use a curling iron or hot rollers to curl your hair from the eyes down and use your fingers to loosen into waves. The longer your bob the better this style is going to look. Keep it shoulder level and above to have a true bob haircut and feel free to wear bangs if you need to minimize your forehead.

Michelle Obama is a classy First Lady. Every new hairstyle she chooses makes headlines, because she is simply stylish. The rounded look to her hair is cute and fun, while still allowing her to appear in control and strong. This look would be great on any woman. If you have a facial shape that makes this style seem too good to be true for you, there are plenty of tweaks that you and your stylist can do to make this style all your own. For example, you can have your bangs fall over more of your forehead if you have a square shaped face, which will help you to soften the lines of your face.

Sexy Waves

This classic style is as trendy in 2010 as it ever was. The trend here is that you want a fierce look – not gentle and cute. Make sure your waves have lots of volume and that your hair is strong.

Cute Bob

A more rounded bob is an extremely trendy look for 2010. This bob haircut has short bangs that go over the forehead, stopping above the eyebrows, and is cut to be round around the head. It’s a spherical look, and this style is quite short, so it wouldn’t be good for everyone.

Fringe Pixie

This cut takes the traditional pixie cut to a whole new level. The hair is longer than in a traditional pixie, layered for volume, with the bangs cut into a fringe that stops just above the eyes. The back is cut to the nape of the neck, and the hair is styled around and just over the ears. It’s a great look for anyone wanting an easy to maintain style.

Punk

Another trend is a short punk hairstyle. This is mainly due to the popular singers who have made this style trendy and sexy for anyone. In this style, the hair is cut short, except for a fringe that is styled to stand up off the middle of the head. It’s very similar to a mohawk, except that the head isn’t shaved bald. Great if you like to add colors to your hair.

A Pixie haircut consists of choppy and messy hair that has various lengths and is usually referred as the “Elfin” cut. The Pixie is a haircut that is layered short and shows more of your face. The look of the Pixie haircut is one that has close cropped layers that frame the face and is cut short around the ears and neck. You can try different styling techniques to see what works best for you. You can spike the bangs or you can slick them down. You can add dimension and an interesting look by adding highlights to the hair at the front of your face. Some of the celebrities that have or have had the Pixie haircuts and look really cute in the Pixie are: Rihanna, Alyssa Milano, Pink and Eva Pigford.
