Fresh Cut

It might look the same to you, however I have gone shorter. My hair had grown fair bit since the chop so there was defiantly some length taken off, I naturally have thick hair so it was easy to create volume without teasing my hair or anything. My hairdresser bless her each step made sure consulted with me first of how much to cut off, double checking each time are you sure, which usually hairdressers are scissor happy chop off more than you wanted usually well in my experience, so it was refreshing to say the least, I said go back to Lydia's hairdressing salon and I did, will continue too.

The actual cut I love, as love the feeling just touching back of my head, example it's like when you shave your legs that smoothness you feel when there isn't no hair, yep that's how it feels. I am somebody who enjoys short hair, having boy cut if you like, still beautiful, still can be feminine have really short hair or no hair. Sorry had to go on my little soap box for second there, I'm back now.

What do you think? you like... Are you someone who like's short hair? join the team, haha.

New Haircut. The Chop

So couple of weeks ago secretly got my haircut, didn't tell a soul that I was going to do it, spoke about it but never said when and if I do it for sure. After months of my hair breaking off, not growing the speed usually does. Finally gave me the push to chop it off. Been wanting to go short for quite some time now, in the past I've had very short hairstyles for some reason I gravitate to short hair after awhile. Was looking for hairdresser that was understanding as do suffer with dry scalp, can be very embarrassing showing stranger hey I have flakey scalp. As in the past I've gone to hairdressers and they be pulling a face like eww flakes, oh wow, or just being rude. So from that have shied away. Until now so looked for new hairdresser, as the one I am familar with, lovely lady, sadly was off sick. Me wanting to just do my hair no stalling. Googled, came across Lydia's hairdressing salon, what was great you could whatsapp her, found I could talk her about hair problems, also just heads up that I am disabled so might need to help me into the seat or out, and Lydia was cool about it. Once got there, and she began to do my hair there wasn't interruptions, as too many times in black hair salons they can take forever to do your hair, as they might stop and chat, go to different customer, just distractions everywhere. For me I can't afford to be at salon all day due to my health.

Once Lydia asked what hairstyle I want, she worked her magic. I do apologize I never took pictures of my hair straight away other than the 1st pic in the collage, I've just been enjoying my hair. And the pics above was taken at Easter after a meal and while my sister was drinking wine so yeah. And the back of my hair, pic don't do it justice, plus it has grown a bit where bottom bit was shaved. But don't despair I'm sure there be more pics of my hair and in better quality. I just thought I do this blog post now as I didn't want to do it until my loved ones saw it in person. So surprise sureprise to my friends and some of my family that didn't know. Exclusive for my readers. Sorry not said anything like I said just been enjoying my hair. Oh if you want different ways to style short hair, still can change the look just because it's short don't mean can't have fun with it, may do blog post or even a vid if I am brave enough.

Also must be wondering why two collages of same thing, as couldn't decide which one to post, I put both up. As black and white looks like I am going to casting call, showing my portfolio, which did make me laugh. Then normal colour one just so you can see it in real light.

Let me know what you think, do you like the new haircut?

Getting the chance to say hello. Meeting new bloggers, having girl crush on Lydia. It was cool atmosphere. Glad I went.

What qualifies as fashionable, a certain look, being in the in crowd?

I asked this question earlier on twitter,what qualifies as fashionable, a certain look, being in the in crowd?. And Laura answered (a friend from twitter)'I think it's knowing what suits you, and if it suits you and you like it i think that makes you look fashionable xx'.

It's what you make it, so often people mistake fashion (as a whole) as must have, not what makes you (personal style). Chosen this video, from archive mwfrost http://safteypincharm.blogspot.com/2011/09/toni-interview-with-allwalks-for.html, my best friend is the interviewer here. As ONE of the examples of what I am saying.

Whether you dress smart all the time, casual, sporty, it's about owning it (my view). Don't worry if you have to save up for one fashion piece, buy clothes from charity, market, supermarkets (yes Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury, etc). I don't consider myself fashionable, trendy, but stylish in my own little world, even if I am dressed like a chav, however I do like dressing my male friends, as I do like to play stylist, and do damn good job. Would insert pictures, but I do not have consent to show my gorgeous models. 

What are your thoughts? (would love to hear)
