Experts are saying that in 2007 the hottest hairstyles are going to be across a range of 4 types.

There is the short business cut. Great role models for this type of cut include Hillary Clinton, Ellen Degeneres, and Barbera Bush. Simple and elegant and professional looking, styles like this take very little maintenance time and tend to be all weather, staying put even on windy days. In 2007, such short hairstyles are getting shorter, punkier and more messy, even to the point of shaved short.

Another hairstyle along these lines is slightly longer on the top, tapering to almost nothing around the back and ears. Due to women's roles in business becoming more serious and prominent, hairstyles are reflecting that. Short, tight, styled hairdos for women are on the increase, not far off men's hairstyles. A kind of shaggy just out the shower look, popularised by celebrities, these hairstyles are longer than the ultra short look mentioned above and tend to be styled to look slightly messy, punk, but still feminine at the same time. Less regular washing of the hair helps keep these hairstyles in shape, as hair retains its natural health better, shining with natural oils and keeping its shape better. Gels and other products are used to style and keep that fresh tousled look.

Next and new to 2007 are long, feminine waves. Not permed looking hair that went out of style in the 80s, but natural looking, as with the short hairstyles above, the secret is not to wash the hair too often, as unwashed hair is easier to manage. There are many products that bring out the natural waves in hair and can be applied to give the wavy long look that is big in 2007. Salt spray is the new stylist favourite for bringing out these sexy waves in long hair. Celebrities such as Jessica Alba and Shakira are wearing their hair this way and it can be dressed up beautifully by adding a simple locket or hair jewels. To get this look in 2007, spray the hair with a little salt water whilst still damp and then scrunch and let the hair dry naturally. Scrunch drying gives the hair volume and variety and the salt spray will bring out a wave in most hair types.

The Side part used to be reserved for men's haircuts. The variation on this in 2007 will see a more rock chick or punk tendency and it is high fashion and a trendy look for this years 2007 hairstyles. Think Twiggy, think punk and you will get the idea. Meg Ryan and Kirsten Dunst are big fans of this hairstyle.

The key to hairstyles in 2007 is simplicity and good styling. A good cut is the best start followed by clever use of hair products. Many variants of these basic 2007 hairstyles will be seen this year and are predicted to remain big for years to come.
