• New hairstyles are always a concern for teens.moody teen image by pixelcarpenter from Fotolia.com
  
  Teens are at the forefront of most trends. When it comes to hairstyles, they are no different. With their own, younger versions of adult styles, cool hairstyles are signatures for teens. Teen celebrities set trends that are widely followed and there are always several new styles each season that teens can be seen flaunting everywhere.
  
  

Girls' Short Styles

• Short hair on girls is trendy, and the modern look to the style adds fun and interest. "Crops," "bobs" and "flips" are not new styles, but they are new in the way they are worn. The crop is worn with the bangs swept to the side and slightly long. The bob is updated with fringed ends and varied lengths. The flip is like the very straight trendy style, but is flipped up at the ends to add some movement.
  
  

Boys Go Long

• Length, long bangs and motion are the hair trends for boys. The "wild cut" has several variations from "emo" to modern. A hairstyle that flows freely and needs no work is the key. Bangs are long and swept across the forehead to the side. Fringed edges and hair that moves is the signature for this style. The hair is worn just below the ears and is no longer than the chin.
  
  

Girls' Styles Medium to Long

• Messy curls or smooth updos are equally popular. Hair that looks like it didn't take much fuss is as important in girls' hair trends as it is to the boys. Even at elegant events, celebrity teen girls can be seen with their hair twisted into a messy bun. Hair that is loose and flowing with some natural curl is also popular. Straight hair is worn flat and smooth with fringed edges or is swept up into a bump at the crown of the head. A single flower in the hair, especially a daisy, is a very current hip trend for girls.
  
  

Boys' Short Styles

• Spiked hair, mohawks or "fauxhawks" are big trends for shorter boys styles. The trend is to make short hair different and to stay away from the typical, clean-cut, boyish look. To keep shorter styles in edgy territory without adding weight, try messy locks in varied lengths, fringed and sticking out in different areas. "Razored" ends are popular to make the shorter style trends for boys look less neat and more hip.
