I have several friends with natural curls and they all say that when you find the stylist who knows how to cut them, you stay with her.</p> <p>My hair is definitely part of my style. But I will say that it's still funny to me that so many high school and college friends think of me with curly hair - it was the 80s, and I totally rocked that perm! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change/page/2#post-2010944 Sat, 09 Mar 2019 02:39:10 +0000 Style Fan 2010944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have an amazing hair stylist Carla.&nbsp; Finding someone who can cut curly hair well is a challenge.&nbsp; Your new do looks great curly and straight.&nbsp; I can certainly empathize with having pale lashes.&nbsp; My eyebrows are more light brown so they seem to have a presence without help.</p> <p>My hair is definitely part of my signature style and always has been.&nbsp; I have had shoulder length hair with long layers and bangs for a long time.&nbsp; There have been some variations but this style seems to work for me. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change/page/2#post-2010899 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 19:45:47 +0000 Katerina 2010899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your curls are so amazing, I cannot believe it is an almost wash and go for you! What a brilliant hair dresser.</p> <p>I always wear a straight thick fringe and longer hair cut very straight, no layering. My hair is naturally very straight, so I do not fight that. Layered styles or waves are very difficult to maintain for me. I suppose my fringe is a part of my signature style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010891 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 19:20:32 +0000 anchie 2010891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your curls. Beautiful cut that emphasize them. Both my DH and DS20 have similarly curly hair and it is real struggle to find someone who knows how to cut this type of hair. My husband always go for very short so that curls are not visible and DS tried different haircuts but was never happy with the results. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010878 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 18:25:03 +0000 Sal 2010878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the curls but both look good.</p> <p>I have had a wide variety of hairstyles - and a few colours - but mostly variations of blonde, brown and red.&nbsp; I see myself staying with short messy bobs and relaxed short hair for a while, maybe until I grey.&nbsp; What is signature that it is relaxed and not too styled - I don't like my style to look too done.&nbsp; Due to slackness sometimes it looks too undone though.....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010869 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 17:47:22 +0000 Anonymous 2010869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the length on you as well as the straight and curly look. I am jealous!</p> <p>So I grew out my pixie last year and right now am sporting a bob that ends at my ear lobes. I like the length, but something is just not right. I think I might like more of a bang than just swept across bangs. Might do something else next haircut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010848 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 16:10:21 +0000 karen13 2010848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful ‘do, both curls and straight. I’m with you on needing wash and go. After a very short pixie for about 6 years, I having been growing out a bit and am also seeing a bit of wave come back to my hair; it is approaching the Goldilocks length. I am strawberry blonde so commiserate with you and your stylist about brows and lashes!</p> <p>I just purchased some Bumble &amp; Bumble Don’t Blow It to see if that helps control the waves where I don’t want them as I rarely blow dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010843 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 16:06:50 +0000 JAileen 2010843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such gorgeous curls! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010839 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 15:55:47 +0000 AviaMariah 2010839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the curls!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010834 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 15:31:28 +0000 smittie 2010834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous hair, you lucky duck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010833 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 15:13:42 +0000 catherine 2010833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your cut is lovely. You have such great features and this seems to allow them to take center stage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010798 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 13:37:20 +0000 Bijou 2010798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla - you have beautiful hair and enviable natural curls.</p> <p>In relation to your question, I would say that my hair is likely to be my most defining feature. I am average height and weight and have rather regular facial features - so my hair and how I dress is how people who don't know me well recognise me. I have had people confuse me with other girls who superficially look similar to me (if they have the same hair and dress in a similar style), this happened to me with a girl at work - so many people kept confusing us, it was hilarious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010793 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 13:29:33 +0000 nemosmom 2010793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh I envy your curls! Mine is not nearly as curly as yours, but it is super thick and coarse with substantial wave. I get what you say about "too long and it pulls out". For me, if it's too short I look like Bozo. It needs a certain amount of weight, in the right places, to help it hold it's shape without fuzzing out. </p> <p>I don't have a signature hair style, but did have the same-ish style for about 7 years. I want to try a shaggy long bob for summer, but haven't found a stylist I trust to execute my "vision" yet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010790 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 13:23:12 +0000 Preppy Pear 2010790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have serious curl envy, you lucky woman! The straightened look is great, but the curls are everything. Adorable, chic, sexy, cool - all the things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010789 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 13:20:53 +0000 Elizabeth P 2010789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great, Carla. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010786 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 13:12:53 +0000 Anonymous 2010786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I like both versions-though maybe the curls a little more since I'm<br /> used to seeing you with curls :)<br /> My hair is not a signature at all anymore sadly. I have very hard water so it just doesn't grow as I'd like. I want it to be a foot longer, but it's bland mid length for now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010785 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 13:10:02 +0000 gryffin 2010785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cut looks fantastic on you as always!&nbsp; Perfect and so flattering.&nbsp; Hair is integral to my style.&nbsp; Inverted bob that angles from down my jawline, side part, very choppy spiky bangs - as I call them the "toddler hack" and it's surprisingly difficult to get just right.&nbsp; I wear such formal clothes that my edge comes from hair and footwear.&nbsp; Because my hair is wedged up so much in the back, I have people recognize me routinely from behind.&nbsp; Plus it's super cool in summer but the sides keep my face warm in winter if that makes any sense, the best of all worlds.&nbsp; It took forever to find this style, I'm sure I'll tweak it slightly over time, but a bob is just part of who I am and yes, there is no meaning to life without a blow drier!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010778 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 13:05:10 +0000 Jaime 2010778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the curls! It is so interesting how different the cut comes off curly rather than blown straight. No contest!<br />Variations on my salt and pepper, asymmetrical, curly haircut has pretty much defined my look for the last 4 or 5 years I think. Which is funny for me, since my hair was completely boring until then.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010777 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 13:03:33 +0000 RobinF 2010777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your curls are great! I have curly hair but not nearly as curly as yours - probably more wavy - but I know what you mean about too short and it's cut off, too long and it pulls the curls out, mine does the same thing. You are lucky to be able to just condition and go. I am always on the lookout for the perfect product to bring out the curls without being stiff and crunchy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010774 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 12:38:55 +0000 carter 2010774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! I love it both straight and curly. Great length. Great cut. Great style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010764 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 11:56:49 +0000 krishnidoux 2010764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! I have a personal preference for you in the curls.&nbsp;<br />Thank you for detailing your experience so well and with such care.&nbsp;<br />You know I wear wigs now on a daily basis. Although I did have a signature look with my bio hair (short straight bob), I find that I haven't settled for one yet with the faux hair.<br />The reason might be that bio hair, with its specific characteristics, will dictate what is and is not possible.&nbsp;<br />No such thing with synthetic hair, of course. And suddenly I find myself enjoying the crazy shags or long flat, or curly manes I had always only dreamt of before. And consequently I can't commit. For now, anyway.&nbsp;<br />So for me,<i> plus ça change, plus ça change!</i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010763 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 11:40:39 +0000 Adriana 2010763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your curls. Great signature look.<br /> I have short hair for many years now. I like it and it is easy, which is important for me. Wash every day, 5 minute blowdry.<br /> I have a cut every 4/5 weeks. Because my hair grows fast it is never completely the same. Short bangs week 1, a lot longer at the end. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010741 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 08:03:40 +0000 Cardiff girl 2010741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab new do!and lucky you to have the choice of straight or curls. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010731 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 07:25:17 +0000 Jane 2010731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those curls! It’s a super cut! I’d love to see the back too!</p> <p>I like to change my hair a little every time it’s cut. I trust Adam (in my home town) who cuts my hair. I did have a moment when I thought I should change to someone near where I work but the price was 5x (staggering!) what I pay and more importantly I couldn’t really live with my lack of loyalty! </p> <p>So I try and give a bit of direction and Adam has good imagination so we get along just fine and I largely like my hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010728 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 06:57:25 +0000 rachylou 2010728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great cut! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010717 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 04:37:05 +0000 Gigi 2010717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the curls! Your cut has a beautiful shape.</p> <p>I finally went to a special curly-cut stylist a year ago, and it's made such a difference in my hair. I'm trying to get up the courage to go shorter with it (chin length), but I get scared to get too much cut off because I like having the option to put my hair in a ponytail when I don't have time to style it. But my hair is much more "me" when it's chin length. </p> <p>I suppose I could just flat iron it if I didn't have time to style the waves, hmm. At my next haircut, I will definitely have to get quite a bit chopped off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010705 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 03:34:35 +0000 Anonymous 2010705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My inverted bob has been my go-to style for a few years now. It is very easy care although I do usually blow it dry and smooth it some with a roller iron or flat iron. I wash it every day or every other day with kelp cream rinse. It is me because it is easy, works for my straight hair and can be styled in different ways if I want to fuss with it. If I don't want to fuss but want a change, I can part it in a different place or put on some hair gel and let it dry on small rollers for a more curly look. It does not get tiresome or boring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010704 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 03:33:00 +0000 Carla 2010704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No worries that I'll go straight, Angie. Just didn't want to leave the shop with a wet head!</p> <p>Bonnie - the stylist is a red head, but her hair is straight. She volunteered that her DH and young son are curly haired guys. She cuts their hair, and says she 'gets' curly hair. She promised never to cut my fringe too short or let things get into 'pyramid' territory! We talk about our non-existent eyebrows and transparent eyelashes and other woes of being a red head! </p> <p>LisaP - I LOVE the high contrast look of dark roots and light hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-ca-change#post-2010699 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 02:53:42 +0000 Anonymous 2010699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my dreams I’d have hair like yours. You clearly have a talented cutter with a great eye . </p> <p>As to your question , my hair is absolutely signature to my style . I’ve tried every version of short hair and all the trends from long bangs to undercuts and everything in between . I’ve been blonde , white , brown and red . Yet my go-to is the disconnected pixie with short bangs . My go to colour changed from red of many , many years to a bleached /toned /shadow root combo . I can’t see changing it at this point . It works with the clothes I prefer and projects the image I want to project . Pretty simple . </p>
