On the sides, you can see that my hair is still not quite long enough, so there are some strange pieces sticking out, but it's a huge improvement from my hair just 'being there', as my husband observed. I've never had a straight full bangs before and wasn't quite sure whether my face suited them, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. It looks quite vintage, but not old-fashioned... I think!
On my stylist's suggestion, I also made a big overhaul of my haircare; to be honest, I'd never given much attention to my hair and hair products, but I've found that using things suited to your hair type and style really does make a difference. I don't particularly like styling my hair, but with my new haircut, it only takes about 15 minutes, is super easy and makes a big difference to how my hair looks and holds on throughout the washes (I wash my hair every two days).
Oh, and just a quick note about my hair color, since I got a lot of questions the last time I posted something hair-related. This is my natural hair color and I've never had my hair color-treated, apart from some highlights a couple years ago. In the photos, it looks quite red, but really the color changes quite a bit depending on the lighting - it varies from dark blonde, through ashy brown, to reddish chestnut color. I wish it would actually appear more red-toned more often!Have you ever gone for a straight bob? Do you like your natural hair color?
AAAAHHH I love it! *jumps up and down in excitement*
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS. Also, your skin is so perfect. Actually peaches'n'cream, which is something I always thought was made up by Sweet Valley High.
ReplyDeleteI remember those books! That was one of my first peeks into American teenage culture :) Thank you, lovely!
DeleteOh my god I love this SO MUCH! /shameless flailing
ReplyDeleteSeriously, honey. This cut looks absolutely fabulous, both on its own and with your (ridiculously perfect) face! :o)
There's nothing like a bit of Rae's flailing to make one's day :)

ReplyDeletehi
ReplyDeleteyou look beautiful :)
best regards,
This is beautiful!! I love my natural hair color (never done anything to it either) - and my coloring is very similar to yours! It gets lighter in the summer and you can see more red in it - and darker in the winter.
ReplyDeleteyou are rocking that hair style!
