Just a thought. I'm sure they could pad her up a little here and there... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158563 Wed, 19 May 2010 17:32:52 +0000 Maya 158563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only like platinum blonde as Angie said: on rock stars, or supplemented with other color to tone it down. On someone like Lady Gaga it makes sense. Her style is totally over the top (to put it mildly) and so is her hair. I would treat platinum blonde like pink hair or other crazy unnatural colors. I know it's supposed to be glamorous but to me it just looks overprocessed. Dare I say even Marilyn Monroe would have looked better in a more golden blonde. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158519 Wed, 19 May 2010 14:59:40 +0000 Angie 158519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! That makes sense. As much as I adore Michelle, that's Scarlett's role. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158438 Wed, 19 May 2010 12:18:55 +0000 Laura 158438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Platinum blonde is attention-getting ... for better or worse, right?</p> <p>Somewhere I read that Michelle is trying to get a Marilyn Monroe role. Perhaps the platinum is supposed to convince the producers that she's the one for the role (although I would think that Scarlett Johanson would be the automatic frontrunner, wouldn't you?). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158385 Wed, 19 May 2010 04:14:44 +0000 MNsara 158385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't really mean to squelch/fuel any platinum bonde fire, BUT one of the ladies featured in Isaac Mizrahi's book "How to Have Style" was a young lady who went from drab blonde to platinum blonde ala Kim Novak/Gwen Stefani, and she said the difference was dramatic. To quote: </p> <p>My platinum blonde hair has changed my life! It definitely attracts a lot of attention from guys. Cowboys in particular like platinum blondes! My hair gets noticed at the office too. Now the president of our company knows who I am and says hello whenever I pass him in the hall. It can be hard to stand out in a company off 65,000 employees! What is better than that? I'm a whole new Lara Hall.</p> <p>Hmmm -- something completely diffferent to consider besides the high maintenance issue </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158343 Wed, 19 May 2010 03:28:08 +0000 wilson 158343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My opinion about platinum is that it has an aging effect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158311 Wed, 19 May 2010 02:43:50 +0000 Angie 158311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, I don't mind the platinum blonde look on Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera and Lady Gaga. It works on rock stars somehow. They are VERY dramatic and over the top. But Michelle Williams is soft and deer-like with brown puppy eyes. It just doesn't work in my not so humble opinion. Too hard and fake looking. Such a waste on such a pretty face! </p> <p>Dawn hit the nail on the head with respect to the fringe. It's going to look frumpy without the perfect amount of fuss each day. </p> <p>I also like your current do 1000000% better. I can be more succinct if you like :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158304 Wed, 19 May 2010 02:38:43 +0000 CK 158304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are many more photos of that cut, Laura:</p> <p><a href="http://www.popsugar.com/Pictures-Ryan-Gosling-Michelle-Williams-Cannes-Photo-Call-Blue-Valentine-8473976" rel="nofollow">http://www.popsugar.com/Pictur.....ne-8473976</a></p> <p>There are some views of the back and sides as well.

But I like your cut a lot better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158273 Wed, 19 May 2010 00:16:59 +0000 Anonymous 158273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She'll have it changed up on the whim of her hairdresser soon anyway.<br /> Michelle can do no wrong, she is adorable and one of my favorite actresses. Laura you are also adorable and could wear any hairdo Michelle can wear. Sorry if adorable is on your list of worst compliments! Haha! It's actually one of my favorite compliments to give out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158269 Wed, 19 May 2010 00:02:11 +0000 Maya 158269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like it at all. I am totally biased against straight-up platinum blonde. It looks terribly unhealthy, one-dimensional, and flat to me. The phoniest hair color imaginable. I'm not sure about the cut either. She has such an adorable face and pretty smile that she can really do no wrong. But I don't know if it's a great idea for most people.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158222 Tue, 18 May 2010 20:38:42 +0000 Dawn 158222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Michelle Williams and I use her photos to guide my hairdresser but I don't think I'll be turning my hair platinum blonde like her. It is a cute haircut, however it could quickly teeter over into frumpy without enough maintenance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158218 Tue, 18 May 2010 20:21:16 +0000 CK 158218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it, but then again I have an appointment on Thursday to get my hair done in a similar style (no platinum - just highlights). I do love the pixie she had a few years ago, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158217 Tue, 18 May 2010 20:14:46 +0000 Debbie 158217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color would concern me some. Depending on how dark your hair is. The darker your hair the harder it is to keep up is my understanding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158208 Tue, 18 May 2010 19:59:38 +0000 Laura 158208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That 2007 pixie cut was very Mia Farrow. And it was the model for my first big haircut!</p> <p>I do like the softness of her hair now, although I bet the length in front could drive you batty. </p> <p>(And yes Angie, there are as many opinions as there are ladies on this forum!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158196 Tue, 18 May 2010 19:26:40 +0000 Angie 158196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah! Opinions can differ, Laura :0)</p> <p>I'm going to be the odd one out. I don't prefer Michelle's hair that colour. Nor do I like the extra weight of the hair in front. I MUCH preferred the pixie cut she had several years ago. Better colour, more texture and a much more mod attractive look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158170 Tue, 18 May 2010 18:22:12 +0000 Mac 158170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this cut - more than her former pixie cut, in fact - and I think the blonde is nice but not necessary. Going peroxide is a huge investment: in cost, in time, and sometimes in condition of hair. So, I'd go for the cut and live with it for a little while before deciding if you want to take it the extra step with the colour.l </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158168 Tue, 18 May 2010 18:09:21 +0000 Ele 158168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it, but not as much as I did her pixie cut of a couple years ago. I remember thinking how well she pulled that style off. </p> <p>Love the colour she's got here. I used to get blonde highlights but gave up because of the cost and maintenance. Did love the look, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158159 Tue, 18 May 2010 17:47:16 +0000 Tricia 158159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair is very dark. I've never had it professionally colored, so I can't help you there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158156 Tue, 18 May 2010 17:45:38 +0000 Laura 158156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it too! The catch is that platinum is HIGH maintenance, you know. Sigh.</p> <p>Tricia, did you have your hair that color, or darker? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158155 Tue, 18 May 2010 17:44:47 +0000 MNsara 158155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is an adorable cut (and she is an adorable girl) and I think it would look very flattering and cute on you. Fun for summer </p> <p>But, just in case your hair has some quirks that would make it high maintenance, check with your stylist and hear her thoughts. </p> <p>Also, I am always frustrated by hair coloring maintenance, so could you get a similar effect by using platinum highlights?? Then the regrowth isn't such a drag (I know you are normally blonde, but I don't know how close/far you are from platinum).</p> <p>Another also, my brunette DD once wanted to be "Gwen Stefani" blonde, and the best they could do on her hair (with FIVE hours of work) was more yellow than she intended. But I guess it gave a brunette the blonde fix she was looking for. . . I don't know if you have any red tones in your hair to alter the results. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158136 Tue, 18 May 2010 17:14:50 +0000 Tricia 158136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In theory, I love it - I had it last year when I first cut my hair, before I went to the super-short pixie. On me, though, it started to take on a kind of "Flock of Seagulls" vibe...and, while I love 80s music, I don't love it THAT much. :)</p> <p>But if it will work for your hair type and your face, I say go for it, because it's really an adorable haircut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158135 Tue, 18 May 2010 17:14:41 +0000 Queen Mum 158135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cute cut but I'm not always a fan of blonde (maybe it's just a jealousy thing?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-pixie-cut-what-do-you-think#post-158133 Tue, 18 May 2010 17:10:44 +0000 chewyspaghetti 158133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's adorable......but then again it's kind of similar to mine!
