hair thursday makeover 40

Welcome to this week’s Hair Thursday, straight from my deathbed! (Also, who says Alka Seltzer Plus Nighttime Cold Medicine is just for night?! Why am I seeing double? Where’s my toddler?)

I think it’s best for you and I if I keep most of my thoughts/hallucinations to myself this week.

Here is cute Jodi!

Jodi’s hair:

Red/auburn with blond highlights
Chemically-processed, a little dry
Medium texture and thick
Prefers shorter styles
Spends 15-30 minutes styling
Uses flat iron
Uses Brocato max hold hairspray and Rough Paste by Redken, sometimes Aveda Volumizer

I like Jodi’s hair! Don’t you think it’s cute? I can’t really tell what it looks like on the sides and back, but I like how it’s texturized and the highlights look nice with her skin.

However, something (the cold medicine?) is telling me that Jodi would look great with shorter hair. Maybe the same layering on top, but taking the sides and back up.

Something like Option #1. (BTW, this photo is from a CUTE HT participant on the waiting list. Why she’s wanting to change her darling hair, I DO NOT KNOW.)

(Cute seems to be the operative word this week, yes?)

Jodi’s hair is already very similar on the top and in the front, so she would only be taking the bulk off the sides and back.

OR Jodi could keep the length and REALLY texturize the hell out of it, for a super modern look like Option #2.

(OMG, a gray piece of matter just emerged from my lungs.)

Tell Jodi what you think!

Updates – Part Seven

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!
