Romance is in the air for spring and summer of 2009.  The upcoming trends are filled with flowing sheer materials, ribbons and ruffles.  Matching your hair to your clothing is an important step in making sure your entire appearance looks well thought out but at the same time effortless.

Here are some ideas for great pretty hairstyles that will look perfect with the romantic looks for spring and summer.

Bold, Short and Sassy

If you are feeling bold and saucy, consider getting your hair cut short very short!  Short pixie haircuts are being seen on several famous celebrities including Victoria Beckham and Alyssa Milano.  While the cuts are “boy short”, they are far from masculine.  When paired with romantic dresses and ultra feminine makeup, a short hair cut let everyone know you are all woman.

Long and Lovely

Long hair is still very popular.  It seems that since the introduction of the straightening iron into women’s homes, the look of super straight, sleek, flowing hair is here to stay.

Straight hair isn’t the only option for a pretty spring/summer hairstyle though.  Sexy waves are also hot and beautiful.  Long waves should look managed but not overly fussed over.  This look can easily be achieved by spritzing in some fixing spray on slightly damp hair and throwing it up on rollers.  Blow the hair completely dry before removing the rollers.  Style the waves with your fingers and hold in place with a great flexible hair spray.

The Timeless Elegance of the Bun

Pulling your hair up into a bun can be a great style for romantic styles of spring and summer.  Buns can be created that are very formal or very casual and can be a great style for days you hair just won’t behave or when you don’t have time for a wash.  Buns can look fantastic whether you place them way up high, towards the middle or all the way down at the nape.

You can separate the hair and twist it in different directions for a more complicated bun or twist it all very tight and evenly for a very elegant look.  You can even adorn your bun with decorative pins, barrettes, ribbons, or even flowers for a unique look that is charmingly feminine.
