FWIW, I like the red... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-haircut#post-284274 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 08:46:22 +0000 rute 284274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! The color is great!!!!!!!!!! Stylish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-haircut#post-284273 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 08:28:23 +0000 Elly 284273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally, good to know. Sometimes it is better to take transitions in stages. Even if you don't decide to go more dramatic, the cut and color look great and I hope you enjoy the little extra "spice" in your life!</p> <p>Mum-- (laughs and smiles at your complement) I think you have pegged the wrong lady in the group! Taylor is the "specialist" around here and from what I hear is amazing. I'm more of the former art student that absorbs information like a sponge and has way too much time on her hands on a friday night! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-haircut#post-284268 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 07:56:23 +0000 mumtojessandluke 284268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unreal banana peel! One very nice hair cut.<br /> I think it is just edgy enough to look modern, but not over the top.<br /> And the red highlights seem to do a lovely contrast thing with your lovely blue eyes, a great color on you.<br /> Enjoy playing around with it!</p> <p>Elly- WOW, you have blown me away with your hairdressing knowledge (not that I know anything at all). You sound like a VERY, VERY upmarket hairdresser to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-haircut#post-284266 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 07:55:17 +0000 Marley 284266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my! I LOVE this - you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-haircut#post-284261 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 07:05:13 +0000 MsMary 284261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-haircut#post-284260 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 07:04:17 +0000 Sally 284260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone. Its really good to know the hairstylist did a good job (even though I have been really happy myself since she did it).<br /> @Medusa...actually I was thinking of trying to dress quite monochromatic and quite classic. I think it is just from watching Coco Chanel last night and falling in love with her clothes. I have bought a lot of white shirts recently and little black dresses so wanted to wear that to work...but my casual clothes (skinny jeans etc) would be more funky.<br /> @Elly - thank you for taking the time to write down the points of difference between the two haircuts. I really appreciate the trouble you went to. I did go into the hairdressers saying please keep it toned down abit because I'm starting a new job in the education sector etc. But she did ask me if I wanted it more scuptured at the back and that she could make thicker chunks of colour next time if I wanted....I might do that as I (and others) will be used to the new cut and colour by then.<br /> I am also pleased because I had this done in the small seaside town where i live and it is quite a bit cheaper than the big city. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-haircut#post-284256 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 06:39:30 +0000 Scarlet 284256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this hair cut suits you. I don't think it is boring at all and I like the red streaks on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-haircut#post-284243 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 05:49:27 +0000 taylor 284243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally, Your stylist did a nice job and you wear this very well, You must be quite pleased </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-haircut#post-284240 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 05:42:14 +0000 Elly 284240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks good. I don't think the red is too "out there" especially going back and reading what you said about the area you work in. I think the difference in "edginess" between the pic you posted asking for suggestions and the cut and color you have rests on a few key points. </p> <p>1) the cut itself--- the pic has bangs (not that that necessarily makes it edgier, but it adds another level and more interest/less smoothness to the cut), the model has a more dramatic transition from the shorter layers in the back to longer in the front-- her front layers are much longer than yours and she has a few more shorter layers in the back to help add fullness and creates a more dramatic "stacked" wedge cut-- although you can't see a full frontal shot of the model, I doubt she has the fullness around the jawline that your cut has</p> <p>2) the styling--- the woman in the picture either has very, very thick hair and/or the back is teased/blown out into a pseudo-bouffant to provide the lift and roundness at the back , which the different layering helps achieve, also the hair from behind and just in front of the ears appears to have been blown forward to achieve the angle below her jaw-- finally the hair framing her face has been blown-dry or straightened with a flat iron to give it that "sharp" look and to direct it and keep it out of her face, where your hair looks very soft and styled "round" in the pic-- the model has more roundness and fullness at the crown and less at the jawline, creating less width there</p> <p>3) the color-- instead of the thinner stripes of color you have, the model appears to have just two large sections of color, her bangs/the hair framing her face has been colored completely, and the maroon/pink area appears to be only the top layer of that section-- generally this technique is called bayalage--- but i know a lot of the younger people have started referring to the much wider sections of color like those in your inspiration photo as "chunking" -- I have seen many people put one dramatic "chunk" of color an inch or two wide in the hair right behind the section that frames their face. That way they still get the edgy factor, but their natural color is near their skin</p> <p>The cut and color looks great as it is, but if you are willing to style it more and want to edge it up I think you could with a few tweaks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-haircut#post-284218 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 03:38:38 +0000 Sveta 284218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it is boring at all and these red streaks definitely make it not conservative at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-haircut#post-284197 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 03:04:04 +0000 catgirl 284197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-haircut#post-284195 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 03:02:50 +0000 Angie 284195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! The red streaks are terrific. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-haircut#post-284177 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 02:15:30 +0000 celia 284177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it and don't think it's too radical for the workplace. I think the color looks great with your eyecolor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-haircut#post-284175 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 02:13:48 +0000 Debbie 284175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love you hair. I think it looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-haircut#post-284137 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 01:27:24 +0000 medusa 284137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! I don't think it's too radical at all. I don't know what your work is, but this color would fit in at most jobs in my opinion. And it's very fun.</p> <p>What were you thinking for your wardrobe inspired by your hair? I think you could wear a lot of different looks with this cut, but definitely something edgy and trendy would go well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-haircut#post-284134 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 01:22:12 +0000 Sally 284134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>went and had the whole schhbang. Was a bit worried it would be a bit radical for my work. I like it but apart from the few strips of red think its quite boring and conservative. Now I might have to sort out my wardrobe to go with it. The hairdresser said if the colour was a problem, she could just dye it the natural colour on the red. The dark colour is close to my natural colour. </p>
