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!

It is head-to-head with Keri Hilson and Rihanna in the battle for the best and most edgy hairstyles on the R&B scene! But while Rihanna dominates the shorter Fringe styles, Keri seems to experiment with multiple lengths. Keri has shown up in pictures with shorter hair and side-swept bangs that give her a sexy look. She has been caught on camera with some very distinct bangs and medium length hairstyles. And she has also gone with cute bobs that elongate her already oval shaped features.

Keri can get away with bobs because of her longer face. Stay away from chin length bob haircuts if you have a round face because you will make your face appear rounder. If you choose to have a cute bob, then cut the bangs shorter. If you don’t want your hair too short, follow Keri’s more medium length hairstyles to elongate your features.

Keri’s face also has smaller features, therefore her shorter haircuts that bring a focus on her nose, eyes, and lips just emphasize her very feminine face. Do not try to go too short if you have larger features or you might accentuate your face in an unflattering way.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with colors like Keri either. She has had some natural looking highlights in the past which are in fashion now and into 2010. But she has also gone more blonde, even to the point of highlighting just her tips, and she has pulled off those looks as well. Don’t go too unnatural for 2010 unless it is totally for the effect – then just try to keep it tasteful to remain in style!
