Fun Summer Hair Styles for 2009 Rich color and precision cuts are
the hot hair news for Summer ’09 ….
The pony tail and bob continue to be hot looks, with new precision cuts coming to the forefront this year as the summer of ’09 heats up …
SUMMER COLOR
Veering sharply away from the subtle coloring of the past, this year’s look focuses less on highlights and more on rich, solid colors that compliment your face shape and coloring.
Rich, strong hues in various shades of red – strawberry blond, auburn and rich chocolates – are predicted to be the hot new look this summer.
SUMMER ’09 – CUTS FROM THE CAT WALK
Styles, lengths and cuts were once again all over the place at the Spring-Summer ’09 fashion events, incuding buns, rolls, bobs and a continuation of last summer’s natural and feminine look. You can’t always predict hot fashions by what the models are wearing, but a few standouts are going to be seen off the runway. In general, styles are becoming more stylised with the messy look giving way to the super neat precision cut.
Bob
Back again this summer, the cut for the bob is strong graphic outlines incorporating. curves and sharp lines. Go for asymmetry – try one side longer or raise the back and lower the front. Mix lengths gradually, add volume with layers or stick to one length cuts. This is a cut that you can tailor to your face and lifestyle — a look for the individual. Soften it with wisps or a bit of back combing.
Suggestion for a bob look while still keeping your lovely length is the timeless roll. Just roll your hair from the bottom with the ends on the inside of the roll. Bring the roll to the nape of your neck (where your back meets your neck) and pin it in place. Very sophisticated and very cool… and still long and glamorous when you pull out the pins.
Fringe
Still very hot for summer ’09, fringe cuts were tops on many of the runway’s top models. Fringe can add elegance or make a bold statement. Look for variations with fringe cuts to bring out your personality and facial structure. Soft and wispy fringes, casual choppy edges and strong bold lines will all be hot. You’ll find fringe cuts that go full length, others flowing mid length or brought forward into the eye. It’s all about having fun, being sexy and being yourself

with a layered look and
super subtle highlights.
Layers
The cut that complements all the others in high fashion circles this season is lengths of layers with casual textures. The natural look is easy to create with layers of unstyled, free moving hair. Not a lot of curl but plenty of slightly tousled waves added to the volume and texture make this a fun way to style your hair.
Crop
For summer ’09 the focus continues to be on natural looking movement and volume. Crops are holding their own this season with short unregimented lengths adding textures and bounce to this cut. Forget the solid crop and go for broken edges and textures that use the natural flow of your own hair as the guide.
Ka‘anapali is fit and trim, manicured from its lu`au lawns to its golf tees. The hotels possess gourmet dining rooms, lagoons with swans and flamingoes, art treasures in improbable places, vast landscapes and waterscapes with mega-pools, cascades and thrill slides. The toys in the once-royal playground are catamarans, outrigger canoes, boogie boards and surfboards, aqua bikes, snorkel and dive gear, rafts, windsurfers and sailboats.
In ancient times, Ka‘anapali was a royal retreat for the rulers of Maui. They liked the perfect three-mile stretch of white sand beach, gentle waves, warm sunny days, and the broad swatch of green land that swept up to the rainbow-haunted West Maui Mountains. Maui’s “royals” surfed, raced their outrigger canoes, feasted at lu`aus that lasted for weeks, and where the Ka‘anapali Golf Courses now blanket the land, they played ulu maika, a form of lawn bowling using heavy lava rock balls.
Ka‘anapali’s two championship golf courses are open to all. One is the creation of the eminent Robert Trent Jones, Sr., the other designed by Arthur Jack Snyder. The way the courses are laid out, both duffers and pros get a good game. The only problem is whales. If they’re jumping offshore in their fantastic gymnastics, nobody seems to make par. The magnificent vistas of sea and mountains are distracting enough to be considered outright hazards on the links.
Ka‘anapali has four “A’s” in its name and three of them stand for “Action. The other “A?” It stands for “A Surprisingly Great Deal” because Ka‘anapali hotels and condominiums offer a wide spectrum of accommodations, packages and rates.
Ka‘anapali was Hawai‘i’s first planned resort and has become a model for resorts around the world. The hotels and holiday condominiums offer a variety of experiences from soaring marble lobbies to beachside bungalows. All are planted in the 1200-acre enclave amid lavish gardens along the beach and golf courses, each so private they appear solitary. In the center is the Whalers Village, an open-air, world-class shopping complex housing a whaling museum. The shops, hotels, restaurants, nightlife, activity centers, golf courses and even Lahaina town and are all connected by free transportation. Alternately, the Lahaina-Ka‘anapali and Pacific Railroad, a restored sugarcane train pulled by a vintage steam locomotive, chugs between the resort and Lahaina through sugar plantation fields.
Ka‘anapali is aware of its history and traditions. Every evening at sundown, cliff divers reenact the feat of Maui’s revered King Kahekili, who bravely dove from the cliff at Pu`u Kekaa, or Black Rock, into the churning sea, at a time when the spot was considered to be the jumping off place for the soul to enter the nether world. The tiki torches are lit along the shore as the ancient pahu drums and triton shell horns call the hula dancers and revelers to the beachside lu`aus.
To preserve the unique culture and way of life of Maui, some Ka‘anapali properties have adopted innovative programs whereby employees share their heritage with guests in small ways such as greeting them with genuine aloha, and large ways such as colorful festivals during Aloha Week, Lei Day and Kamehameha Day honoring Hawai‘i’s greatest king.
Even with all its wondrous amenities, Ka‘anapali has retained the reality of gracious royal Hawaiian hospitality and the pace of the action that made it the choice of kings.
