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 ~ by Aron

Sometimes during a work day  I am just not organized enough to have my camera ready to take the before pictures before the stylists get stuck into their work and before I know it, the hair is off.

This was one of those cases, This client came in with long hair and the cut was so cute, I grabbed her on her way out and managed to take some pictures of her. So,  enjoy these anyway even though there is nothing to compare with.

Haircut done by Aron at Dekko Salon.

Eastbound by Dmitry Vinokurov

Excerpt taken from American Salon by Kelley Donahue…

East Bound
’Dmitry Vinokurov’s latest collection for Wella Professionals plays up structured styling and loud bursts of color.
West meets east in Dmitry Vinokurov’s take on Fusion—a 2013 Wella Professionals TrendVision category. The collection, seen exclusively on these pages, blends an Asian experimental spirit with Western high-culture to create fashion-forward looks. “Elements such as origami and Samurai helmets were our inspiration for some of the intricate designs,” says Vinokurov, who worked on the photo shoot with fellow artists Alexey Ladnov and Denis Skakunov. “Japanese prints and sakura blossoms were major influences on our color palette and placement,” Vinokurov adds. ‘

Dekko’s Daily Grind ~ Maria

Maria comes to have her haircut once a year with me. She usually cuts all her hair off, then grows it through, has it long for a while and then comes back and whips it all off again. I love the fun of cutting off her long thick coarse hair every time. So this time I was happy to have my phone around ready to take snapshots of it.

Here’s Maria with her long locks when she came in:

We used the razor as well as scissors to achieve this look. The razor brought out the natural waves in the hair and we were able to keep the coarse neckline abit softer without having to scissor over comb it off. We then twisted the hair with a styling cream and dried it while twisting it. Here’s afew angles of her fresh new look:
