Remember me?
I don't post really often at the moment, I know. But I decided to slow down a bit and work on exciting new things, instead of bombarding you with daily posts in which I mainly ramble.
Today is different though. Today, I am going to go on about my hair. My new hair to be precise. I spent nearly 2 years growing it, and it had recently got to the point of no return: the hippie hair. It was so long that I felt the only way I could dress was bohemian chic. A style I don't necessarily approve of on me. On saturday night, I found myself dressed like Pocahontas without even trying. This is when I knew something had to be done.
I called my good friend who cut my hair last time and asked her opinion, as I trust it above all opinions. She said "you could cut a little bit to make it healthier - or you could cut a lot so it is not like hippie hair!". Hearing the H word from someone else was the final blow.
So yesterday, she came over, and after having tea & cakes, she cut my hair, and as if by magic, made me myself again.
I was feeling a bit meh, and not so pleased with myself lately, and I can't tell you how much better I feel now. I am sure the lovely spring like weather is also playing a part in this, but I like to think it is pure and simple hair magic.Yes, I am the girl who wrote a whole post about her hair. Shamelessly so.
Next time, there will be clothes! tips! interviews! woooyaaaa!

HOT
ReplyDeleteSo cute! But, for the record, I never thought you looked like a hippie x
ReplyDeleteIt's so sleek and I love the bangs/fringe. I want a nice heavy fringe byt have a horrible cowslick and it would never stay straight like yours.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely.
Luv
Poochie
Oooh, I really like it, it's very chic. Your hair looks really thick, mine sticks to my head like a hat if I try and go too smooth with it!
ReplyDeleteMelanie - merci!
ReplyDeleteFrankie - I didn't look like a hippie per se, but for my standards, I did!
Poochie - I have a bit of hair sticking out under my fringe too, but generally the hairdresser tells me to just cut it super short and then it doesn't stick out anymore!
Hahaha I love hippie hair! I have hippie hair, but I agree, something a bit more polished looks great on you. I love the fringe =)
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable. What kinds of products do you use on your hair? It looks s shiny and healthy...
ReplyDelete:-D
I love it!!! :o)
ReplyDeleteI've got a case of the hippie hair at the moment. But I've been growing it so long I can't bear to cut it off!!
ReplyDeleteBah! Blogger ate my comment.
ReplyDeleteYour hair is everything I've been wanting mine to be, that it won't do.
It looks a bit asymmetrical-- is it just pushed back a bit?
super cute! although i can't complain about the hippie hair either - that was cute too.
ReplyDeletenow its cute and healthier! yay!
:P
p.s. you remind me of Jenny from The L Word - Mia Kirshner, i believe is her name. :)
Pocahontis eh!!!
ReplyDeleteEmily - I like hippie hair too, but not on me! It looks better on naturally straight or tousled hair and I have really thick curly hair that I straighten...
ReplyDeleteAmanda Lee - Believe it or not, I don't actually use anything at all on my hair, never have done! I don't even always use the same shampoo & conditioner. At the moment I started using Tommy Guns fig & marshmallow, before I was using Aussie... I have extremely dry hair, so I don't have to wash it everyday, once a week is enough, so that kinda kept my hair in good shape.
Also, I am using Remington Shine straighteners, they were sent to me a few months back, and I have to say they do work quite well to add some shine!
Phew. It is like a whole new post in the comments :)
Qs Daydream - Thanks!
Ruthie - I know it is hard to cut it off, but you can go with something not too drastic, like cutting the ends or something.
Ashe Mischief - Bad blogger, bad!
It is a little bit asymmetrical, as it is slightly shorter at the back. It might also be accidentally asymmetrical from one side to the other, as it wasn't cut by a pro, just by a really gifted friend!
Do you want me to give your hair a good talking to?
Copperseal - I used to get the Mia Kirshner thing a lot when Exotica came out, as back then I had the same hair as well, but didn't hear it for a while. I take it as THE BEST COMPLIMENT EVER, as I think she is gorgeous! So thank you, you totally made my day :)
You know who - See you tonight.
Hair can effect my mood unlike anything else! Maria makes fun of me because I often freak out and shave my head, I wake up the next day and say, "I want my hair back". It's a dark spiral...Anyway, I LOVE your hair!
ReplyDeleteI love it, that's my dream hair that will never work on my head!
ReplyDeleteOh, I put a link to your site on my new one.
ReplyDeleteVous êtes trop belle!
ReplyDeleteI'm somewhere in that stage too, not hippie hair exactly but my hair's just not doing anything for me. I LOVE WHAT YOUR FRIEND DID! It's a little nice change, your bangs are very dynamic now.
ReplyDeleteyou look wonderful. i really love your new hair.
ReplyDeleteJ'adore ... super coupe!
ReplyDeleteSexy Betty Page style!
Oh my god your hair looks amazing! I love the haircut so much!!
ReplyDeletelove, dayna
Oh yes, I found myself in hippie hair land too. The new cut looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely. I had a short, heavy fringe like yours for most of my 20s, very Bettie Page. I've been wanting to cut them again but would really like the rest of my hair to be longer to balance out the short fringe.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I have a cowlick right in the middle of my forehead but it virtually disappears when my bangs are short, I think it's because it's easier to pull them tight and straight.
Did you get a new color too? It looks gorgeous!
Can't wait to see what super secret projects you're working on!!
xxxoo
Sandra - Yep, I am a fringe girl all the way. I haven't been without one since I was 18 I think!
ReplyDeleteI didn't change the colour, it must be the light or something. This is just my usual blue/black fading out slowly back to super dark brown :-)
If I have time tomorrow, I will email you a recap of the super secret projects! For you they are not secret!
Ooh, you look wonderful! I love that it's still a bit long . . . . when I cut mine I made the mistake of chopping way too much off. A longer bob like yours would have been so much nicer!
ReplyDeleteI looooove your new haircut!! Very flattering length!
ReplyDeleteLove your new hair, cant imagine u with hippie hair. im having a hair dilemma too, might have to resort to a blog poll to decide on what haircut to get! Tres indecisive these days
