2009, fashion forward women will stand out, cut their hair shorter or let it grow and wear it free and full. New hairstyles to inspire hairdressers and clients alike.

Just have a look through the latest trends:

SHEER DELIGHT

Floating, seductive, transparent panels and voiles. The warm summer days and nights lend themselves to thin, barely there fabrics. Teasing looks that enhance soft female curves and sleek hair with a hint of tousled abandon, bring it on...

CRYSTAL

White, pure, fresh, timeless looks. Straight lines dissolve into frothy layers and lace. Cool, Grecian goddess or fun beach babe, the white fabrics are fabulous against warm honeytoned skin. Face framing spiral curls tumbling over sunkissed shoulders will turn heads for all the right reasons.

GOLD LEAF

Shimmer, glitter, golden decadent tones feel like a celebrity in eye-catching bronze, copper and gold. Raise the style stakes and accentuate the theme with a touch of body glitter and shiny, shiny hair. Lots of serum and shine drops, spray to really catch the light and dazzle with sex appeal.

WILD THING

Urban chic, smudgy, subtle khaki green hues for the girl about town, for drinks with friends, for the weekend getaway. A magic colour that works so well for blondes, redheads and brunettes. Different looks can be built-up to reflect your own personality... playful hair with lots of scrunch or sophisticated glamour with an updo... the choice is yours.

BLOCK PARTY

Bold, solid colours, make a statement in hot shades. Flattering lines that play to your advantage and stand out from the crowd. Any length in a jewel bright colour will give confidence and inner power. Contrasting accessories complete the look, along with bold hair, defined cuts, clever highlights.
