the BOB

Bob cut: A bob cut or bob is a short haircut for women (and occasionally men) in which the hair is typically cut straight around the head at about the level of the jaw-level, often with a fringe (or "bangs") at the front.
I’ve been seeing a few celebrities and bloggers make the transition from long flowy locks to a more shorter do. It’s a great way to transform your look instantly. The swingy layers of the bob flatter all face shapes. It is currently the must-have haircut.
Now do we all have the guts to chop it off? I sure don’t. I’m a big wimp when it comes to my hair. The most I’ve ever asked my hairdresser to take off was about 2 inches and I almost shit my pants while she was doing it. I know my hair grows extremely fast however I always think in the back of my mind that it’ll be the time I cut it all off when my hair decides to stop growing. And yes, there are extensions just in case I don’t love the look but there ain’t nothing fake about me.
I’ve gathered up a few images of before and afters of famous ladies  who’ve done the deed and look fantastic as well as bloggers who look better than ever with their new coif. They really give me that extra nudge to just do it. I’m not quite there yet though L
What do you guys think? And be honest!

  5. Honestly, I think you would look great in a cut like this. Sometimes it is better to not think too much and take the plunge! I have long hair too and starting to get bored of it. I have been thinking of chopping it off too. Look how amazing these celebrities look with their shorter hair! Do it!

  6. LOL DO IT, Lena! I'm loving the length of my hair now. It's low maintenance and surprisingly looks better when curled ;) Get the Alexa's bob. It will look so good on you ;)

  7. @Helen: I think I have to reach that "I'm really fed up" point before I do something drastic like this.
