Hollywood’s Going Short – Again!

Not sure what’s in the water over there in LaLa Land but everyone seems to be cutting their hair off!  Pixies and Bobs, Pixies and Bobs!!

We know these short haircuts are not new, what with Charlize Theron, Michelle Williams, Miley Cyrus, although we wont count Beyoncé for taking out her weaves and creating news by doing so, but there’s definitely been a slew of new ones…

I first mentioned  ‘news breaking hair inspirer’ Jen Aniston who cut off her hair into an A-line messy bob, one rumor has it, the reason for the chop was to get rid of a bad Brazilian Blowout! (Whoops, there goes business for the BB company..) Other news states it was just for the change, but really who cares, why is Jen’s hair always big news? (as I write about it)

But some of the bigger recent changes come from these actresses who have decided to go for the pixie look, whether for movie roles or because Charlize Theron looked so great with it, I don’t know.. funny how there’s 3 Jennifer’s though?

Here is freshly shorn Jennifer Lawrence who always looks cute but in some of the pics I saw, her hair looks a little like the dreaded hair from Kate Gossellin (Kate plus 8) Eek, lets hope I’m wrong here,

Then we have Pamela Anderson looking gorgeous with her pixie, she should’ve done it years ago cos it looks so great.

Next up is  Jennifer Hudson, but there again, I have a sneaky suspicion she’s just taken her weaves out just like Beyoncé did. But anyway, what do you think of them then?

Dekko’s Daily Grind–Kristen

Kristen was new to the salon. She came in and wanted her long (past her bum) hair all cut off! She wanted to donate her hair to Locks of Love. For once I didn’t have to get the tape measure out to check that I have at least 8inches, we must’ve cut off about 14inches of virgin great conditioned hair. Someone’s gonna get a great wig out of this hair..

Anyway this is Kristin just as I chopped off some hair and then luckily remembered that I needed to chronicle it. Out came my i-phone before I whipped it all off.

We decided to take the length up to around chin level, and to bring out as much curls as possible. We were lucky because we both expected the hair to be ultra curly and very easy to frizz but in fact as soon as we took the length up, the curls were soft and very manageable. It was lovely curls/waves that we had to work with. Phew!

When we worked the shape and curls in, we used some style cream, twirled the hair in pieces and diffused dried it before shaking the curls out to create a messier look. Here is Kristin after:

Thanks so much for being such a sport and enjoying the process as much as we did..

Nicole Kidman’s Bob

I felt the need to post about Nicole Kidman’s bob.. Not even sure if this is a wig or whether she actually cut it all off,  but if it is a wig, it sure is a great one! Clients have already been coming in asking for this one, which I knew would happen but anyway here she is..

The campaign is for Jimmy Choo and she is sporting a sexy cute looking messy bob. I do hope that if all you mums come in asking for this one, just know that it has everything to do with how you carry it off, keeping it tousled and messy, what you wear with it and also wearing make up that will make sure it doesn’t end up looking  soccer mum-ish…

My Pick ~ Scruffy Bob Shapes

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these 3 shapes. Even though they are all quite simple hairstyles, you know how much I love my scruffy messy looks, they all look as if they were cut with razors, but not overly done like some Asian hair can be.

If any styles are going to tempt me to chop off my messed up hair, these would do it : )
