If you're ready for a Spring makeover in 2008, be prepared for some celebrity-inspired styles and unique updos to tame those tresses. Fashion Week put the spotlight on the some great looks for the season, with super-long lengths and pixie-style bobs leading the runway. No matter how long or short your hair may be after winter, you can look forward to layers, razor cut bobs, and blunt bangs to freshen up for the season. Here are the top women's hairstyle trends for Spring 2008:

Spring 2008 Women's Hairstyle Trend: Long and Curly
If you've been considering a perm these past few seasons, Spring 2008 is to jump in and go for it. Supermodels at the Calvin Klein presentation sported some curly ringlets in golden blonde and brunette colors. Medium-sized, tight curls are one of the leading looks of the season, and the extra-long length makes it super versatile.

Spring 2008 Women's Hairstyle Trend: Blunt Bangs
Blunt bangs are especially flattering for round and square face shapes, and can help balance out high cheekbones. Go for blunt bangs cut just over the eyebrow level for a modern, sophisticated look. These can easily be swept to the side if you decide to change up the style at a moment's notice.

Spring 2008 Women's Hairstyle Trend: Sculpted Bob
The bob continues to be a top trend this season, but the year calls for a soft and romantic version instead of the super-blunt cuts of Fall 2007. Soften up the look with large curlers or a curling iron, and go for a side part that covers the forehead.

Spring 2008 Women's Hairstyle Trend: Twisted Updos
The season's updo trends center around super-sculpted buns and twists; go for a sophisticated French twist by piling hair high up on the head and creating a 'knot'. The look was carried off perfectly by Gwen Stefani for the L.A.M.B. presentation at Fashion Week, and it's a great choice for warmer days.

I've always wanted Bettie Paige bangs or pin-up style 1940's hair...maybe this spring I'll have the guts to go for it. If blunt bangs are "in", maybe it's my season to give it a try.

Very nice and informative article Sabah! Unfortunately I have the most difficult hair you can imagine.

Love the feminine styles! I cut my bangs about 4 months ago, and I love it! They grow fast though! It all boils down to what is flattering for each person's face right? And Updos on bad hair days are always a winner! Nice article!

I'm old-fashioned :) I don't cut mine and wear it to my knees. I love putting it up in braids and buns, so I guess that would fit under the "updos" category!

I am so not brave enough to bring back the bangs I grew out almost 20 years ago!

Hmm, I might try the blunt bangs thing. Good job describing what type of face that works for!

Please tell me the teased side ponytail isn't really going to happen!

I went to Fashion Week as a reporter but was so busy looking at the clothes and makeup I forgot to notice the hair! Have been debating whether to go for blunt bangs for a long time...your article may just push me over the edge!

Why do you say? I was getting the sense that trend would be straight and straighter.

It was only a matter of time for curls to be popular again.
