For 2009 so far there have been several trends that have emerged with predictions of the future of hair styling. Of course at the core of the hair styling industry and what is being perfected in hair salons across the country is the Bob.
What started out as the "Posh" bob of 2008 has quickly transformed into a hair style that can be adapted and changed to suit the personality and individuality of any person from short, spiky and textured bobs to sleek angled edges bobs. There has been an emergence of one popular style where the front hair of a person's bob will actually reach their collarbones while being cut angled towards the back so that the nape of the neck is exposed. This style creates excellent angles and an immediate sophisticated look, but is meant for straight hair due to its emphasis on the angle of the cut.
There is also a move towards the traditional bob, the 1920's flapper bob look with a straight blunt fringe with a bold colouring. This style is particularly popular for those wishing to make a statement with their hair. Additionally, many people that adopted the "Posh" bob of 2008 are now cutting into their bobs and adding volume and layers for a softer look that compliments most people's faces and styles.
