Updates – Part Seven

June 25, 2008

Oh, do I love this first one. Remember Adrienne?

Adrienne has absolutely beautiful hair, but was wanting a more of a “style”. She took the HT advice and cut off a few inches, added light layering all over and some sideswept bangs. Look at her now!

Isn’t she absolutely STUNNING? Well done, Adrienne.

Secondly, Nicole decided to follow the HT voters and try out a shorter Sandra Bullock-type cut.

The majority of voters chose Option #2:

Nicole even snapped a shot at the salon before her transformation.

Here she is now!

Beautiful!

Lastly, Lauri took the advice to add some bangs to complement her face shape.

After:

Great! Thanks for the updates, ladies!

hair thursday makeover 39

Lauri’s hair:

Light brown – trying to kick the highlighting habit and get back to her natural color
Normal to dry
Stick straight, baby fine, but lots of it
Prefers length between chin and shoulder and no bangs
Product junkie – Frederic Fekkai, Aveda, Bain de Terre
No layers

From Lauri’s photos, she appears to have a heart-shaped face with a high forehead. In general, a heart-shaped face should steer clear of blunt bangs, super short hair and/or really choppy layers. Subtle layering is really the key for Lauri.

I find it a damn shame that Miss Lauri has no interest in subtle, sideswept bangs because they could really lessen the appearance of height and width in the forehead, plus add some dimension to her hair. Looking at her requests, she prefers the length between chin and shoulder, so I would recommend a chin-length bob for her shortest option, with just the slightest layering in the front like Option #1. That way, the cut won’t look too severe. I also like the idea of a side part.

Now, as much as I would like to stick to Lauri’s wishes, I am going to suggest an option to keep her length and add bangs. VERY SUBTLE ONES. Option #2 would totally complement Lauri’s face shape and hell, I’VE BEEN DEEMED THE HAIR EXPERT, RIGHT? Listen to me!

Plus, look! It’s Babs!

People, people who need…people…

You can barely see those bangs! Notice how the forehead appears minimized, and how Lauri’s perfectly shiny hair would look so lovely in general. Of course, #1 is cute too. Decisions, decisions.

Alright, that is all for now.
