Long hair to stacked bob.

This young lady decided to get her long dark hair cut off into a stacked bob with a clippered nape. When cutting thick hair into a stacked or inverted bob cut the thick hair can become quite like a wedge cut once all the length has been taken off it can stop weighing the hair down therefore it will create a lot of body into the bob which personally I think looks wonderful but quite often it can be a bit much for the client when she sees the end result and the different contrast between the overlaying long hair with the shorter undercut and if you have light hair there is a good chance you will have a great contrast in colours between the shaved or trimmed sections with the longer hair on top.

Nervous about new haircut

I recently underwent a big makeover when I chopped all my hair off for a much shorter style and it feels so different from my old long hair which was almost down to my butt before the chop. I was so nervous driving home from the hairdressers and I wasn't sure how my boyfriend would react when I walked in the house. I told him I was getting a haircut but I told him that it would most probably be a bobcut. Instead I decided to get a pixie cut. My mum started crying when I revealed my new hairdo and she said that I hadn't had short hair since I was 3 years old. She couldn't stop touching my short hair and she now wants me to come with her when she gets her haircut. She is going to be getting a bobcut with a shaved nape and wants me there for my opinion.

Short and curly cuts from 80's and 90's.

Really think this is a great cut for women of all ages not just for the grey army(60 years plus) The different textures that are created by the natural curls or curls created after a perm are complimented by the clippered nape part of the cut in contrast with the longer curls on top create an easy haircut that is very feminine and very very low maintenance. Doesn't the picture above just look great with the jewellery and the beautiful blonde permed curls. These haircuts that I speak of today are definitely on the short side so not for the faint of heart and they are the type of cut that will possibly make you look more mature than if you had a shoulder length bob cut or medium length down the back but it is the type of cut that takes time getting used to. One of the many benefits of a short cut like these ones is the contrasting colours created between the longer waves curls on top of the head in comparison with the shorter hair around the ears and nape and it looks especia...

Long hair vs Short hair.

Have named this blog long hair vs short hair but in my opinion both long and short haircuts can look stunning. I don't have a preference because I find women with short hair to be beautiful and same goes for long hair. I must admit though to finding bob cuts to be my favourite hairstyle and the picture above is a good example of a stacked bob with a shaved nape and the girl with the hippie hair above is also very beautiful with her long locks (love the bangs) One of the many benefits of having short hair is its a lot quicker to get ready for work in the morning. With long hair you can change your style quite a bit by wearing a high bun, wear your hair in a braid, using curling wand to put waves in(very pretty) long hair looks pretty when straightened out all healthy and shiny and cutting bangs into long hair can change your look completely as shown above. When it comes to short hair yes your choices of changing up your look may be a bit more limited but short hair has added be...
