Get ready for Hair Thursday: Paraphrase City. I didn’t allocate as much time as I needed this week for HT due to the blog explosion, but I still included the good stuff.
And let’s face it, do you REALLY want to read my blabbity hair blabbing all day long?
That’s what I thought.
Catherine:
I want Catherine to be blonder, but I love her length. She has very pretty hair, that Catherine.
Love the cut in Option #1, love the color in Option #2. (Actually, I love the color in both. Just depends on how far she wants to take it.)
What do you think?
Heeeeerreeee’s Megan!
Megan looks like she might be a little scared of Hair Thursdays.
Never fear, Megan! These styles are as harmless as raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens.
Megan’s already a flat iron pro; she’ll have no problem pulling these looks off.
You’re turn.
I won’t be around to moderate the comments today, but I’m sure these ladies would love to hear your suggestions!
(Considering I clearly dropped the commentary ball.)
(Catherine and Megan, feel free to email me if you want more details. Promise?)

October 25, 2007 at 7:08 amYeah, I look a little…terrified. Actually, it just took me several attempts to get a decent picture of my head. After looking at some of those up close, I was a little terrified of my skin…
So- who is the lady in photo number 1? So I can maybe find more pictures of her hair? I love the 2nd one, but bangs make me nervous. Last time I had them I looked about 12. And everyone said, “I liked your hair better before.”
Question 2: if I were to suck it up and brave the bangs, how do I ask for them so I don’t end up with weird blunt cut heavy things that start halfway back on my head? Like last time?

October 25, 2007 at 7:45 amMegan, I think telling your stylist exactly that would be a good start: “Last time I had bangs I ended up with these weird blunt-cut heavy things that started halfway back on my head and I DO NOT WANT that again.”
I am sure Whoorl could tell you the magic words to say. She seems to speak fluent Hairstylist.

October 25, 2007 at 8:08 amcatherine has nice locks! I think a side part and a little bang would be super hot.
megan could do either style well but I think I like number 1 better because it wouldn’t hide her face and isnt too much bangy bang.

October 25, 2007 at 9:51 amFor Catherine, I love Option #1 with the side-swept bang, but would rather see her with a red haircolor just a few shades brighter than her current color. She has great coloring for a redhead!
For Megan, Option #1 is very sophisticated and sleek. Her current dark hair color would look great with this cut!
Can’t wait to see what they select!

October 25, 2007 at 11:09 amso my fancy lady hair stylist said the other day when i was getting my locks trimmed, that very few people can truly pull off a middle part. she said that it can make your nose look bigger than it really is. with taht being said, i vote for #1 for catherine – i love the side swept bang. i really do. otherwise she was super nice looking hair! i also like the color in #1 b/c the girl has more pinky tones that seem to match better to catherine’s skin.
for megan, i feel like #2 is going to be tough to maintain.

October 25, 2007 at 4:00 pmI’m glad Megan asked first! WHO IS that girl in #1? I love that hairstyle. It’s not too blunt or too short or crazy. I want it too!

October 25, 2007 at 4:02 pmI’m an idiot. I would actually like to know who Option #1 is for Catherine.
Love the short hair, but it doesn’t love me.

October 26, 2007 at 5:11 amI do usually side part; that picture was after a professional blow-out where he parted me in the middle for some unknown reason. I have definitely been thinking about adding color so I guess it’s time to take the plunge. I have colored both blonder and redder before, but weaned myself off it when I moved to NYC three years ago because it was sooo much more expensive for color here than in my previous hometown. I think I can committ to it again, as long as it’s not something where I need a touch-up every four weeks.
So, I have a question about product. I can recreate the smooth professional blow-out look at home, but I can’t get it to last. I’ve tried products from Phyto, Bumble&Bumble, Aveda, Kiehl’s, and various drugstore brands. Right now I’m using and Aveda smoothing fluid and Fekkai glossing spray, but it’s not really working for me. The best thing I ever used was a Kiehl’s Shine & Lite Groom, which they discontinued (sob!).

October 26, 2007 at 6:22 amyes, the girl in #1, but she has boobies from here to, uh, somewhere. Tired. Sorry.

October 26, 2007 at 7:08 amThe Girl in #1 that people ask about looks like Rachel Stevens, who used to be in a really bad british pop band (S Club 7). And yes I´m totally ashamed that I know this (if it´s really her).

October 26, 2007 at 11:51 amI really like option 1 for Megan… who is the girl in that picture? I’m thinking of asking my stylist if I can get that!

October 26, 2007 at 2:19 pmWhere do you happen to find all these hair photos? When I want to find photos of new hairstyles (usually celebs, of course) I go on a fruitless google search, which sometimes comes up with topless photos of Jennifer Aniston.
This is not so good when you are at work.
