Mix in a couple tablespoons of the cat litter with water and drops of oil (we find the oil helps make the experience somehow less kitty litter-ish)

Hilary Duff's blonde hair is 2009 hair color trend

Spring is in the air and it’s time you woke up from your winter style hibernation and shone! Take off coats, hats, beanies, scarves, berets or whatever you were wearing all winter long and show off your beautiful healthy hair. You already know about main hair cut trends for 2009 and now it’s time you found out the hair colors to rule this year!

2009 hair color trends

Well, there’s not much new stuff to think of. Generally, traditional hair colors remain dominant with slight changes added to make this year’s hair color trends different from the previous one’s, you know what I mean.

So, the main hair color trends 2009 are:

Carrie Underwood's natural blonde hair color is a huge hair color trend in 2009

Blonde is always hot. Blonde is chic and glam. Blonde is too multifaceted a color to make you look plain and like everyone else around. There can never be two identical blondes. Especially in 2009. Natural blonde is hot this year.

When you want to make it fancy, add rich highlights and lowlights, play with the contrast and shades of color.

Ashlee Simpson's red hair color is a huge hair color trend in 2009

The red color rocks this year. It’s a hot color trend, though you must be careful with it as it’s not always flattering. Warm shades of red are huge in 2009. Golden highlights on the top are very cute and very stylish.

And again, don’t get simply plain red. Play with contract and shades, intensity of color and accents. Besides, the “traditional” red, there are several shades you can opt for – strawberry blonde, copper brown, burgundy or auburn.

Sarah Michelle Gellar's brunette hair color is a huge hair color trend in 2009

Always in vogue, brunette will get simple in 2009. Make sure you have your brunette hair look as natural as possible. 2009 is not about black, bright or stripy highlights, sorry.

Think the classic brunette shade. However, absence of highlights doesn’t mean you can’t improve the color by adding darker shades to make it look deep and carefully groomed.

Selena Gomez's dark brown hair color is a huge hair color trend in 2009

If you think you want something darker than just brunette but not as deep as ebony then your perfect choice is dark brown. Think chocolate. Like the color? Being hot in 2009, dark brown can make you look really beautiful, and what’s important, it’s good for almost any complexion.

This hair color is very strong in 2009. If you have a fair skin, you’re sure to look vamp. But be careful with make up and outfits you wear in order not to look glum and tired. Generally, black is what you need to impress and turn heads anywhere you go!

Get your color, think about you style, and get your perfect look in 2009! Remember you’re beautiful, hot and head-to-toe perfect! As for hair color, you can always change it if you want. Hair color is just another accessory you have, make sure you wear it right!
