Yes, I know it’s been a long time since I’ve updated this blog. What can I say – January was a manic month filled with weddings (not mine), bridesmaid duties, work, play and various other things that kept me rather busy.
Anyway, something that has been on my mind lately is hair – what to do with mine that is. Currently, I am growing out a bob, and I am just about ready for some colour. I’ve been dying to do ‘the ombre’ aka graduated highlights for some time, but was originally planning to wait until my hair had reached my shoulders. Having seen some recent pictures of celebs rocking ombre bobs however, I’m thinking that maybe it’s time to take the plunge.
Dannii Minogue rocking a sexy, sleek look
Shanae Grimes' curlier, slightly longer locks
Alexa Chung's cute, messy ombre bob
I think I love Dannii’s look best, but the way my curls like to come out and play, it will be closer to a chaotic mixture of Alexa and Shanae’s styles. Whatevs – as long as the colour is there, I can be patient enough to keep growing it out. So tired of the current look though, it needs work!
What do you think of the ombre, and how do you survive the dreaded transition from bob to mid-length?
My vote’s on Alexa’s!
I am now growing my hair, after nine years of keeping it shortish. I reckon I HAVE to do it. But now this post has me thinking. NO! I shall not snip! I shall GROW!
I <3 Alexa, so may well opt for that one! Can always ghd it into sleekness right?
As for the growing out… I have also mostly had mine short. It got quite long in 2008 or so, then I cut it, and it got long again the next year, and I cut it again. Hoping that this time it will grow without me getting impatient, hence the ombre.
