The Bob

'

Started off with Mrs Beckham who picked this hairstyle and rampaged the fashion world by storm, Victoria Beckham initiated The Bob by making it her very own signature hairstyle during 2007 and shall see a lot of the reminiscence of its influence as this trend continues into 2008! Bobs can be of different length varying, usually with both ends of the bob curling sharply towards the front to create an urban chic look. Bobs are highly customizable since everyone can create their unique style by either sporting long. medium or short bobs, with or without fringes, and also not forgetting the selection of hair colour. In place of the Pob of 2007, the Bob is definitely the perfect hairstyle of the year in our opinion.

The Fringe

When we speak of the fringe, we cannot help but be reminded of the Kate Moss fringe. She is arguably the celebrity who resulted in the revival of the fringe trend for 2008. Known to sport her fringes a tad bit longer over the eyes, the Kate Moss fringe might serve to annoy the worshippers of practicality. There are other variation as well, such as the blunt-cut fringe and the pixie crop, which we will be elaborating in the next section. Do note that fringes are very suitable for oval and heart shaped faces, if unsure do consult your hairstylist for advice and tips.

The Pixie Crop

Almost boy-like, it takes a lot more than courage for ladies to take a step this far going for a really short crop. Should any of you ladies are willing to jump onto the Pixie Crop wagon, we assure you that you will not go out of trend at all! Eyes shall be all on you as you stroll the street with the Pixie cut as this style highlights something special about your personality. Enabling your eyes to shine and stand out as more hair will be out of the way, this might entice people to face you for a good chat as it might give them a feeling that there's nothing hidden but just pure directness with no ulterior motives or hidden agenda. In short allowing you to give others a pure clean innocent feel of impression. Not for the high foreheaded though, we must add.

With all the exciting hairstyles that are set to rule the streets and parties for this year, are you ready to stun the average onlookers to stir up envy in their hearts? An initiative move by you might earn you several followers, so that makes you a trend-setter of sorts. Cool, isn't it?

Have a nice hair!
