Short trendy hairstyles for the summer of 2009 include the inverted bob, the razored bob and the short punk cut. By picking the right one of these hair styles for you, you can turn heads and catch the eye of just about any guy you want.
Let’s face it, going short is a huge leap for any woman who is used to having longer hair. So much of who we are and how we feel about ourselves is tied up in our hairstyle that making a radical change is something that makes many of us feel uneasy. However, sometimes a big change can result in a big boost in our confidence levels and how we feel about ourselves as we revel in all the attention a new hairstyle can bring.
You want that attention to be of the “Wow, she looks great,” rather than the “Oh, my God, she looks like a trainwreck” variety, so that’s why it’s important to select the right cut.
The inverted bob hair cut is a turn on the traditional bob hair cut, which is a shorter length cut. In the inverted bob, your hair will be a lot shorter in the back, giving your hair a “stacked” look. You’ll have a lot of height in the crown area of your head, while some longer layers of hair will work to frame your face. This cut looks best on shorter, petite-bodied women.
The bob is the standard short hairstyle for women, a short cut where a weighted area is allowed to drop between the woman’s ears and chin. To sum up, the length is usually cut around the bottom of the jaw and bangs are cut in the front. In the modern era, the bob cut first came to popularity in the 20s, and after falling out of favor for some years became popular again in the 70s. Some celebrity examples of bob cuts include Charlize Theron, Madonna, Rhianna and Victoria Beckham.
The short punk look shares similarities to the bob and inverted bob, but adds pizzaz with spikes and other flourishes. The look can give a woman an edgy, independent look without sacrificing her femininity.
In the past, short hairstyles were frowned upon for women as a rebellion against the feminine gender role. In today’s more enlightened climate, the short hair can be a powerful statement of independence and self determination for women, while retaining a distinctly sexy and feminine tone. Short hairstyles certainly aren’t for every woman, but many will enjoy the convenience of shorter hair and will also find that this hairstyle compliments their looks.
