On September 1st I went to Lorraine Aprile Salon
to get my long blonde hair chopped off. I was super excited! I was bored by my
long locks and ready for something new.
In short (pun intended), I wanted a modern 1920s bob.
A true 1920s bob was very short, cut bluntly across the cheekbones
with thick bangs cut ending above the eyebrows and symmetrical all the way
around.
I wanted my hair to end a little longer, before my chin and
my bangs to fall a bit over my eyebrows. I used Katie Holmes bob pictures as
reference. (Cutting her hair short was the best thing Katie H ever did.)
This length:
These bangs:
Most importantly I wanted razor cut ends to add some
texture.
My stylist was Kris and she knew exactly what I wanted. She
had plenty of experience with retro hairstyles and she was great to work with.
They also gave me free wine so that was a bonus. Even better, the first cut was
half off, so I ended up only paying $33 for it!
This is the end result! I love it!
It’s super easy to deal with. Quick to blow dry and I only
need to use a round brush to get the look. I can’t wait to play with it and see
what else I can do. :)
Personally I think the best thing Katie Holmes ever did was divorce Tom Cruise. But that's just me.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see all the things you do with your hair, I'm thinking some peicy texture would look cute.
