Nothing can
spruce up an outfit like the perfect hairstyle! Shiny and well styled locks can
make even the simplest outfits look super chic! For me this week, it was all
about the hair. I did a good deal of shopping last week in the States, and now
I needed a new coif to suit my fab digs. The dilemma- to dye or not to dye.
Here’s my story:
and it’s a story familiar to most brunettes. I died my light brown hair a
darker brown two years ago. But to my surprise, it didn’t turn the deep dark
brown I was dreaming of….instead it turned a kind of orange-ish brown brassy
colour. Not cute at all. So it’s not surprising that I’ve stayed as far away
from hair dye as I could for the last couple of years.
But here’s my
other dilemma…again also familiar. I get bored of my hair so easily. It’s long,
slightly layered, with no cool bangs or anything. SO what’s a girl to do when
they want to change things up, but don’t want to get one of those trendy pixie
cuts? Now that the summer is almost over, I thought, “hey, why not! Let’s give
the dark hair a try again”. I hadn’t quite given up on boxed hair dye because
of its convenience and cost efficiency, and surprisingly, things went a lot better
this time! Brunettes, listen up! I tried the Clairol Natural Instincts line
called “Brass Free Brunettes” and for once, a marketing ploy actually proved
true! It worked! So now I’m sporting dark luscious locks with no major hints of
orange in site! Success!
Next up, hair
cut time! Here are my fav celeb haircuts right now. I don’t have the beans to
try most of them, but the celebs sure make them look great!
Say what you
will about Kim Kardashian, but I only know 2 things. 1: she’s a ton of fun to
follow on Twitter And 2: the girl has fab hair. I LOVE her colour and the
middle parted loose waves. What I’d give to have my hair look like this 24/7.
The wonders of having a stylist follow you around. Though someone really should have told her that you're supposed to wear shirts under vests...

Jennifer
Anniston has made the Lob famous since February. I’m loving this shape on her!
It’s a nice update from the one length bob I rocked in middle school.

And then there’s
the infamous pixie cut. Natalie Portman rocked one years back after filming V
for Vendetta, and I still think she is one of the celebs who has sported it
best. These days, Michelle Williams, Ginnifer Goodwin, Carey Mulligan, and Emma
Watson have jumped on the short hair bandwagon. When Emma Watson chopped off
her signature Hermione hair, I felt like a little piece of my childhood
disappeared. But then I got over it pretty quickly when I saw this Vogue
spread. First of all…the shoes….LOVE. want.them.now. And the hair, I’m still a
bit on the fence. I definitely think it has helped her shed her Hermione young
girl image for a new edgier look. I admire anyone who has the confidence to
pull of this look! If you have the angles, why not rock em!
