Hair is an easy thing to change, because even if you don’t want to cut it, you can wear it differently by straightening or curling it. But now that it’s 2010, it’s time to for drastic measures and to start rockin’ a new haircut.

2010 Women’s Hairstyles
With the convenience of hair extensions, you can wear a couple different styles, but try to refrain from going overboard like Kate Gosselin and her new extra long locks. If you want to go from short to long, make more of a gradual transition and stay at a length that is functional and complimentary to your face. Instead of one length, try long, flirty layers.

If you really want a fresh look, chop it all off! Go for a chic bob or add some blunt bangs to draw attention to your beautiful eyes. Shorter hairstyles require confidence, because there won’t be much left for you to hide behind. So start the new year with style and poise and just hack it off!

Maintaining Your New Look
Adding highlights or lowlights to your hair can enhance your features as well as your haircut. However, in order to keep your color looking bright, you need to invest in color preserving shampoos and conditioners. Why spend good money on color if you’re going to buy cheap, ineffective hair products? It’s also worthwhile to use natural hair care products, because they don’t contain chemicals. Ones infused with fruit extracts or peppermint will wake you up in the morning, and the yummy aroma will stay with you all day.

Even if you have virgin locks, you need to work on maintaining your hair’s health. One way to do this is to wash your hair every other day, because it will give the natural oils in your scalp a chance to reach and nourish the ends of your hair. Washing your hair less will also reduce your hair’s exposure to heat from the blow dryer. Plus, it will force you to wear sexy updos when your hair is a little dirty.

There are so many ways to change up your do in 2010, and even if you go short and end up hating it, you can always ease the pain of it growing out by wearing hair extensions in the meantime.
