Short black hairstyle for Spring 2010
A model has gone for the look;whose interpretation is far more conservative but suits her Far East appeal, and short black pays homage to the 60s mod revival and channels 60s scenester and model Peggy Moffitt.
So what constitutes a 2010 pixie crop? The second of our reasons above is the biggest clue. As women everywhere grow our their pixie crops and cropped bobs in 2010, the it'll be cut with longer features. In particular, we're recommending a brow length fringe swept to the side and held in place by a pomade.

Looking for an early indication of 2010 hair trends? Then look to the new hairstyles that the world's leadings models will be sporting in the approaching Spring/Summer 2010 fashion week season, which kicks off on 10 September with New York Fashion Week.
Several models are sporting new hair cuts and amongst the fringes and new lengths, it's the short black which is catching our eye.

Pixie crop with longer fringe
Hair trends of late have moved in three year cycles, and we expect that it'll be no different for the pixie crop. 2010 should be the hair trends last 'hoorah', and we expect it to be firmly out by mid-2010. But do note, we've chosen the word 'expect' very carefully. Perhaps we're being over-cautious and are hedging our bets, but let us explain with three good reasons why.
- There's always a demand for short hair cuts for women. While the short black is an option for 2010, it does have to go hand in hand with some dark hair dye (a fact that'll dissuade most)
- There are a lot of people out there with pixie crops. Abandoning it simply isn't a choice with extensions usually ghastly to maintain.
- British actress Carey Mulligan simply looks great with her pixie crop (pictured below) and should her 2010 film line up prove as successful as her 2009 work, she'll soon be setting styles.

A brief note on the half-head shaved hair cut that we witnessed in 2009: it should remain in 2009.Not that there isn't an alternative. Nor do we no doubt that some people will be wearing it into 2010, but they'll be doing so long after the hair cut has reached commonality. Having been been popularised in 2008, and since interpreted by everyone from Alice Dellal to Rihanna, the haircuts evolution is long overdue.

If it has previously been a hair cut you've had, or been tempted to have, there are two clear options for you in 2010:
- Shave or cut your hair to have a full undercut, as we saw on Rihanna in the latter part of 2009
- Grow your hair back
