55 Year Old Rapunzel : 0

Ok now, I know we all love long hair and we all get abit reluctant to cut it off, but when are we too old and how long is too long? I ask myself this quite often as time goes by…

Now here is a lady from Taiyuan, China.  Ni Linmei is 55 years old and hasn’t had a haircut in 14years, Her hair is 8foot long!!!  (Which is longer than she is) so in order to measure her hair she has to stand on a chair! Do you think this look is attractive, youthful or anything at all?

So anyway, I have to admit I haven’t had a proper haircut in the back for about 6years although its nowhere near 8foot and I doubt whether I could ever get that long, so I think I’ve got afew more years to go yet. But dear friends…. if I end up looking like this please someone tell me to get a bloody haircut!!! Thanks!

My Pick…

My Pick 10
Again, I have to apologize for not knowing who did the work for this hairstyle, but I chose it for its very creative cut and color work. similar to another one I posted the precision work with the color is fantastic (although I hope the work was not touched up in Photoshop afterwards cos you just never know nowadays)
Anyhoo, fabulous strong defined shape, well done to whoever did this!

My Pick ~ Prada Ad

I found this a while back but only just got round to showing you all. The hair is so cute and ‘Betty Boop-ish’, I love it!  I think I also found out the hair was done by someone I used to work with back in my London Sassoon Days – Art Director Sandy Hullett.

Hope I got that detail correct, if so Sandy, well done, it must’ve been so hard to get all the hair looking so perfect but you jolly well did.

Thanks for the inspiration..

Getting Yourself Cloned??

Had to share this with you all, only in Japan eh? Imagine being able to order a replica clone doll of yourself? Right, you’ve always wanted there to be 2 of you? So now its possible!

Japanese companies has been cloning for years but in 2010, Hiroshi Ishiguro, a University professor unveiled a female android named Geminoid F, the android was modeled from a young lady in her 20’s, he has come up with a way to replicate your looks, smiles, frowns, nods and responds to human touch, abit scary isn’t it?

 

 

These androids are being tested right now for future receptionists in hospitals and offices, although I have to say I have seen very similar life like sex dolls too. I hope they don’t make them soon to replace hairdressers!!

Anyway, these dolls come at a hefty price of around $110,000 to $225,000 so I reckon you should start saving if you want one of these…

Here’s a video showing the moves and expressions on this scary life like doll…

Hit or Miss.. Funny!

So here I was browsing online and I came across this picture from Refinery29 (a cool website for fashion) and they were showing a fashion show by Martine Rose at the London Fashion Week. The men had some hair wraps going on, which I found even more hilarious because a year ago I was messing around with my hair and did myself a hair wrap too…

Look how similar they are : ) Just goes to show that I am WAY ahead of fashion.. Hahaha!!

Stenciling

Spotted on the catwalk for Betsey Johnson, this gorgeous stenciled lace look created by Redken’s leading stylist Peter Gray.

Peter created this gorgeous look by using black wigs, cut into bobs. They were influenced by Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction as well as the Sassoon bobs and Cleopatra fringes, the lace effect was added because Peter thought a simple bob shape was simply not ‘Betsey’ enough and for those of you who know Betsey we know he was right. This stunning lace look made it all the more special. Gray used lace as the stencil and while it was wrapped around the head, he used color spray to create the look.

 

The hair/wigs had to be blow dried and flat ironed very straight first as the stenciling effect doesn’t show well on textured hair.

 

Thanks to these sources for the pictures…….Source, Source, and Source

My Pick..

I picked this hairstyle from an ad for nails, mainly because of it being a very classic one length basic bob. This picture shows that no matter how simple the haircut/style is, the total look can still be of one that is hip, classic and non-mumsy as long as the rest of your look/outfit looks cool!
So all you women out there who are afraid to end up looking mumsy with a basic bob,  you should have a think about your total look and not just the hair : )

My Pick because I like the way the hair has been set, I can only guess that the style has been set using rollers or irons. Starting the curls further down from the head to give it a flatter look at the crown working into the definite curls at the middle length and ends. Love the bushiness of it, sorry I cant remember which ad campaign this was from but well done to the stylist.
