This week, every single one of your votes count. SERIOUSLY.
Meet Rebecca, whose future hairstyle is completely in your hands.
Rebecca’s hair:
Dark blonde with lighter blonde highlights
Normal condition, thick and straight
Likes her hair somewhat long, but is open to a shorter bob style
Wears ponytails quite often
Spends about 10 minutes on hair – mostly blowdrying, but uses a flat iron if needed
Is very knowledgeable about products
Rebecca recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and is looking to freshen up her style. Not being interested in super short styles, I wanted to offer some options that could really change her overall look without chopping it all off.
Take a look.
Option #1 would be a new, sleek and modern look for Rebecca. This one-length, texturized bob with an extremely slight angle would be perfect for Rebecca’s straight hair type and face shape. Add some lighter blond highlights and Va Va Voom!
Option #2 would hit just above the collarbone, with sideswept bangs and layering around the face. This too would look fantastic on Rebecca, plus giving her more versatility with the addition of sideswept bangs. (And we all love ponytail bangs, am I right?)
Here’s where it gets interesting. Normally, I post the new styles, you vote and the participant has the option of going forward with the cut. No one is actually dragging the participant to his or her stylist.
Well, this time, your votes will determine the winning style and Miss Rebecca WILL be receiving that exact style in the very near future. WHICH WILL THEN BE REVEALED ON NATIONAL TELEVISION.
(SQUEEEE!)
You heard me right. When I close Rebecca’s poll on Saturday at midnight, her new style will be all your doing. (Well, actually, a very experienced stylist’s doing, but you catch my drift.)
So, get to it, my friends. Make me proud!

April 25, 2008 at 5:43 ami chose number 2 because of the cute bangs+ponytail combo. maybe a little more maintenance…but honestly this may be the last time she’ll have a spare sec to do the bangs…as in, NOW when the baby will sit still for longer than ten minutes vs when she starts crawling or (gulp) walking. just my opinion!

April 25, 2008 at 6:22 amI’m a new-ish mom with a version of 1 and it’s killing me- I spent much more time on it now than when it was longer- it’s just not very forgiving. I voted for 2.

April 25, 2008 at 7:06 amI voted for #2. Her hair looks like it could handle bangs with little to no styling involved.
On a side note: I have curly hair and I got some of the John Frieda dream curls spray that Whoorl suggested for Marya last time and I LOVE it. It gives me soft curls without that stiff heavy feeling that a lot of sprays give. Thanks Whoorl!

April 25, 2008 at 9:16 amHey, here’s the thing with style #1. (Which I have had, mom of 2) With hair that is angled–even slightly–from front to back, when you pull it back in a pony tail, there is going to be the little ponytail, and some longer messy bits (the longer ends in front) sprouting OUT of the ponytail. Looks a mess. I think angled styles don’t look all that good tucked behind your ears, either. With a new baby? Lots of tucking and pulling back… I think style #1 will be too much work! Bangs = easy like Sunday morning.

April 25, 2008 at 5:43 pmI definitely vote for #2. I’ve always been a bangs person. At that length it is always easy to sidesweep them if you are in a hurry. I’m getting my hair cut and highlighted Monday and am tempted to take that #2 picture in for myself! haha

April 25, 2008 at 5:56 pmTV now? Wow… and the NYT blew my chance of supah-stardom when they didn’t use my transformation. J/K
I voted for option #1, it’s so similar to what I have now and Rebecca’s hair kind of reminds me of my own. (Granted, a much healthier version of what mine was.)

April 25, 2008 at 9:20 pmI love my Whoorlie. The end. I also voted for Ms. McCarthy’s cut. But that isn’t as important as my Whoorlie and her fame. You deserve it, my dear.

April 25, 2008 at 10:32 pmI’m still trying to get over the fact that girlfriend looks like THAT immediately following childbirth. She doesn’t need a new ‘do, she needs a really big trophy. Wowee!!
Anyway, I voted for #1, just because it looks fairly easy to maintain, what with the new babe and all. I’m partial to bangs, personally, but in this case, I made an exception. ;)
