The leaders of new hairstyles for women are undoubtedly the cat walk, fashion shows, celebrity awards and magazines. The trends are showcased by leading hairstylists of their latest creations and this is all a very big bonanza of information for you.

To choose the right hair style for you simply cut out the photos of the hair style you desire, three or four different styles highlighting different cutting techniques and also several photos of different hair colours. You will need the photos so you can discuss with your friends what they think of the style and more importantly if that hair style would suit you.

As an individual you might have a different view of yourself then what your friends have. This is why it is important to have them give you their advice so you can consider or reconsider your photos and desired haircut. After following this advice you will finally have a group of photos of hairstyles and colours that you believe will suit you and your life style.

Now it comes time to make your hair salon appointment. Making a decision to have a new hairstyle is not to be taken lightly as most restyling will come with a hefty price, taking into account the hair salon brand name, the cutting technique used and the colour of your hair.

It is very important to make your appointment with your hair stylist, the stylist you know and can trust. This way you can show the stylist your photos of the style and then the colour you want your new hairstyle to be. The hairstylist can then provide you with technical information such as if the style would suit your face and head shape. The stylist can recommend the cutting technique that will highlight the style as well as the appropriate colour that will suit you.

Once this has been discussed with your hairstylist you can then proceed to decide on the final cut. As the cutting commences both you and your stylist can fine tune the style as it progresses and starts to take shape. The stylist knows exactly what they are doing and what affect the cutting technique will have on the “sit” of the hair.

Once the style has been cut you can then proceed to the colour and this must be looked at and discussed before the product is applied. What you see in a photograph might be an entirely different style that you see in the mirror.

Hair has become unequivocally important as it can literally make one look like a movie star or a has been from Hee Haw, which died out many years ago. It is big enough that it is a multi billion dollar industry and the average bill in a salon is approaching $100. In the big cities with a hot hairstylist like Jonathon in Beverly Hills prices can easily top $500 for a cut and style. Hair and hairstyle are also some of the most searched keywords on Google and the internet. So, its obvious that to millions of people it is vitally important to know what is in and what is out. Listed below are four of the hottest and sexiest styles that experts are predicting will rule through 2007 and beyond.

For this article we consulted with the expert hairstylists from top salons from NewYork City, Atlanta, Miami and, of course Los Angeles. As the famed hairstylist Jonathon from reality TV series Blow Out says, “your hair will make you or break you. Your hair can make you look like a super star and this is what I strive for with every client.” The hairstylists we consulted with had a lot to say and freely gave lots of pointers and interesting tips.

The short business cut. This style is actually equally popular with both men and women. You can see it on Hillary Clinton, Ellen Degeneres, and the first lady, Mrs. Bush. It is a simple, but elegant and all business hairdo. It is popular due to the fact that it tkes little upkeep to stay in place or quickly fix on a windy day. What you will be seeing as we head into 2007 and beyond is this short do will get shorter and more punk, messy. In some cases it may become almost shaved short. This variant will be slightly longer on top and coming to almost zero by the ears and back. As the females role in society and business grows so will the seriousness of her hair. Look for a marked increase in short, styled and very tight hairdo’s similar in part to many current male hairstyles.

The shaggy just sexed look. This look is just catching on and has been popularized on many of the current reality shows and other popular TV programming. This style is obviously longer than the short cut listed above and is purposely styled to look messy, punk and sexy at the same time. The secret to this style according to one hairstylist is to not wash the hair every day. Washing the hair too often will dry it out and make it lose its natural shape. Hair with proper moisture and oils is healthier and looks better. Depending on the length of hair desired for this style some stylists recommend using gels and others creams to style it and make it look just sexed. Wash your hair at night and once it’s dry, apply your personal hairstyling products. Then go to sleep, wake up, and go. You may need to fuss with it a little, but this is the style and it is hot. Jonathons new product Dirt works well for this. This is a very under rated style that will become hotter as we head into 2007. Some male models have turned to a shorter version of this style as it is a definite headturner.

Long, sexy waves. Perms are way out of style, but the latest secret fashion trend in the hottest salons in NYC is salt spray and long sexy waves. Just as in the above hairstyle, you don’t wash the hair everyday as dirty hair is easier to manage. Get the hair damp and use salt water in a spray to bring out the wavy curls. Salt spray will do amazing things to your hair. According to the salons, everyone’s hair has some natural waves and patterns and this will bring this out and intensify it. This style is so hot, just look at the sexy sirens that sport it, Jessica Alba and Shakira. They wear this style so very well. Add a simple locket or amulet to make it that much hotter. So try spritzing or spraying a little salt water on already damp hair, scrunch it and then let it air dry. Scrunching it while it is wet will give it volume and randomness. Since most hair has some sort of natural wave, the salt spray will bring it out.

The side part. This previously all male cut is making it big in fashion shows in the city and will be coming to a salon near you very soon. This will be a classic and trendy, high fashion style. It will take a sexy, rock or punk variation, though. L.A. celebrity hairstylist Sally Hershberger helped start this style and called her version of it the Twiggy Punk. It has become so popular that a $500 – $600 price tag usually goes with it. Purportedly Meg Ryan and Kirsten Dunst are big fans of this style. This style will continue to become very popular throughout 2007 and some new variants will probably emerge as the year goes on.

Simplicity and good styling is the key with all four of these hot hairstyles and cuts and there are many variants of each with punk or more conservative touches. According to the many hairstylist experts, these four and their variants will be big for years to come.

Short hair is a great idea for almost anyone. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who are afraid to chop off their long hair because they aren’t sure what they would do with short hair if they had it (or they are afraid they’d look ugly, which is valid, I suppose). That’s where these tips come in.

Short hair isn’t just the hair style for the few, the funky (although it can be funky if you want it to be). In fact, for most people it’s actually a better look than long hair- not because they don’t have beautiful long hair, but because a) short hair is quicker and easier to do, so they style it more often, and b) the natural oils in your hair make it all the way to the ends with short hair, so it stays healthier without a lot of time and effort for various treatments.

First, you should consider your face shape when you get your hair cut. If your face is round, you probably don’t want to go with a pixie cut or something super-sleek. Instead, try something with choppy layers around your cheekbones and length that falls a little below your chin. Add a little volume at the top and some side-swept bangs and you instantly elongate the appearance your face. On the other hand, if your face is long, you may want to add lots of long bangs and cut your hair chin-length to shorten the appearance of your face. Square faces will want to go with softer layers instead of blunt cuts, while heart-shaped faces look great with styles that flip out and balance the thinness of their face at the jaw.

Once you’ve determined what hair styles will best compliment your face, talk to a good hairstylist about your lifestyle and what you want out of your hair. If you don’t spend much time on your hair, go for something lower maintenance. If you’re willing to spend a little more time, you might go with something that will take a little more time. Realize that any short hair style will take less time to style, but may need to BE styled every day, especially if you cut it too short to put in a ponytail. (That’s why they invented hats, though, so don’t despair.)

For pixie cuts, the easiest way to do them is to dry them most of the way and then add a little gel. Use the gel to pull the hair in any direction you want, and don’t worry about getting it smooth or perfect. Go for fun and a little messy.

For straight, short hair, make sure you’re using products that will keep your hair smooth and sleek, then dry it straight and finishing the straightening with smoothing products if you need them. You can also add a little pomade and pull your layers out a little to make a messy, choppy look.

If your hair is curly, use a diffuser to create controlled curls, and use products that dry soft and bouncy. No one wants their hair to be crunchy, especially when it’s all up around your face and needs to be swinging and fun.

Don’t be afraid of short hair. It’s stylish, easy to do and healthy for your hair. Better a bob that looks good every day than long, flowing hair that you only let out of its ponytail for special occasions.
