Top Celebrity Hair Styles For 2010

When planning your next trip to your hairstylist for a new "do", celebrity hair styles are helpful sources of inspiration. Celebrities are typically forward-looking of what's latest and trendy. They are trend setters that help you decide on what style to follow. You can always hear others say that they want the hair style similar to this particular celebrity. Even to the simplest style that celebrities have, people always consider the look to be something appealing.

Every celebrity has a different hair style and different methods of sustaining such style. Nowadays, celebrity hair styles seem to be changing too fast, too soon. Just like technology, nothing stays the same for long. This is vital when choosing a hairstyle. You have to have a hairstyle that is "sustainable", in a manner of speaking. Color has also become quite significant in this year's line up of top celebrity hair styles. Come to think of it, colors look like they're geared up for the limits this year.

Here are celebrities who are making a buzz with their 2010 "dos":

Victoria Beckham's short haircut is one of the hottest celebrity hair styles this year with her new blonde hair. The front of the hairstyle shows uneven lengths and the right side is longer than the left. This hairstyle gives Victoria a sun-kissed look, and provides an appearance that's very natural.

Hairstyles will continue to be more relaxed and laid back this year. Bobs are so popular that they would probably stick around. Hairstyles like Gossip Girl's Blake Lively are gaining popularity. You might want to try longer bobs which are perfect for those who want a refined look with a little casual feel. You can also discover new hair colour trends this year.

Christina Aguillera's mid-length bob is also a hot one. This style features polished finishes that creates a classy look and really harmonize her blonde hair colour. Asymmetrical bobs can also be accomplished by cutting hair on the back and shorter than on the sides. This look is ideal for those who want an unusual style or a look that has a little edge.

Having full blunt bangs, such as Nicole Richie's is gorgeous. Her stunning brown hair colour adds shine to her hair and the bangs are flawlessly used to draw attention to her eyes. This hairstyle is one of the hottest looks for both spring and summer. It is also a perfect look on straight and sleek hair. If you have a long bob hairstyle, you can also add bangs to keep you look fresh. Straight bangs across your forehead will bring a combination of formal and sophisticated look.

Eva Longoria Parker's style may not always be the trend setter or cutting edge quality we're looking for; but her locks can never be criticized for always looking so well-groomed. She may have her waves long and loose or she may be graciously sporting a flawless updo. Whatever she does, her hair never fails to amaze other with its super shiny tresses that everybody covets. Her styles may not always be on trend and cutting edge but Eva Longoria Parker's locks never look anything but well groomed. Whether she's sporting an elegant updo or leaving her waves long and loose, her hair is always super shiny and highly covetable.

Kristin Bell is another celebrity moving towards the curl look for winter and it suits her well. Both the long hair and curls Kristin wore for the Critics' Choice Awards show as well as Kristin's classy updo for the Golden Globes gets nods from me. She would be a hard act to follow looking so pulled together and so feminine all at the same time.

Taking first place, along with all her other wins and recognition this year goes to Sandra Bullock. Whether the beautiful brunette is sporting her simple straight do or throwing in a few curls for her updo, this movie powerhouse always takes first prize in appearance. Sandra's ability to roll with the punches and look great doing it is why she keeps getting those movie offers...and hunky leading men to work with!

The last four women, one of which is Rihanna, certainly have made a choice on their new winter look that they will have to stick with for a while: they are all four short dos. Rihanna added a softer, more muted red color to her hair, a departure from the bright orange-red she sported before. And she added some curls to boot. And it looks great on her, I think. It softens her appearance and brings out her beautiful complexion more.

This straight razored bob was a great choice for Kimberley at the American Idol Top 12 Finalists' Party. Her hair was parted to the side and slight side bangs were added to fall into her lengths. This look is ideal for longer face shapes and larger foreheads as it can help to minimise the appearance of a larger forehead. The razored ends and layers of this style gives the hair a textured look and adds body to the style.

Short Hair Styles - The Latest Trend

Short hair styles are all the rage this season, perhaps because the current fashion trends also include girls getting in touch their their masculine sides. Hair trends often mimic those found in fashion and this one is no exception. Of course, that is not the only reason short styles are so popular right now.

There are a number of reasons women and men alike are going for shorter hair. Some of them are driven by fashion and some of them are practical. The point is that although long locks will always be pretty, they are definitely being replaced by a love for shorter styles.

Right now, the looks on the runways are all about femme fatales doing it up in an androgynous way. Women are encouraged to wear fitted trousers, pinstriped suits, skinny ties, and classy fedoras. This hot new fashion trend is directly related to the current trends found in hair styles. Namely, women are beginning to prefer much shorter hair.

It does not necessarily have to be a short cropped pixie cut, but with celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes being frequently photographed with sleek, jaw length bobs, it is really no wonder why so many women are running to book an appointment under the scissors.

On the subject of short, cropped hairstyles, however, women have been wild about them for many years. Sometimes, however, a woman is not brave enough to get her hair cut this way. It can be difficult to pull off a look like this, but it looks exquisite when it can be done.

In the past, iconic women like Audrey Hepburn, whose short pixie cut in Sabrina took the audience's breath away, and Mia Farrow during her dramatic turn in Rosemary's Baby, sent women all over the world to the stylist's. These dramatic looks began a trend which is still popular today. It simply happens to be making a comeback in a big way.

As briefly mentioned, getting one's hair cut short has its practical side as well. It is notoriously easy to style a short hair cut, whether it is chin length, jaw length, or cropped close to the skull. More often than not, all you need to do is towel dry a look like this, add the tiniest bit of product, and you can be on your way.

This is possibly why short hair is so popular with working women, mothers, and especially, working moms. In the rush to get breakfast on the table, get lunches packed, get the kids off to school, and get yourself ready, you sometimes do not even have time to match your socks, let alone style your hair to perfection.

Having a short hair style can thus save quite a bit of time. And, like say, when you have the bone structure which can pull it off, then you are still going to turn heads every time you walk down the street.
