Customizing My Hair (Pics) - YouLookFab Forum

For those who wanted to see my new 'do....

First four celebrity pics were the inspiration. Inspiration can take you into all sorts of directions, so my 'do doesn't look anything like the pics! I CUSTOMIZED and did my own thing to suit my needs.

I like my hair wavy and straight, and wear each variation as frequently. So I chose a look that can accommodate both preferences. I cut a lot off the one side because I missed seeing my ears. I am thinking about growing out the very short side so that it isn't as asymmetrical. We will see.

I'm not Jenna Elfman or Kirsten Stewart. I'm Angie Cox and this is my current hairstyle. Styled by me daily to brave the ongoing Seattle rain, wind, and cold that I am outside in all the time. Commuting on foot in Seattle is not for the faint hearted! But I love it and wouldn't have it any other way. I'm resilient, and now - so is my hair without going very short again.

I'm awfully pleased with the result, and so are my big and small in-house fashion stylists

You look stunning! Great cut!

Thanks, Irina. You are sweet. YES, that's a navy COS t-neck and a fave! I wish I had it in more colours. The Swiss dots are sooo pretty. High five

Oooo,l like that you do curly as well as straight with your “do”That’s really pretty.

Helena

Gorgeous Angie! Do you use a curling iron or flat iron to curl your hair?

Cardiff Girl, thanks for the compliments.

Helena, I use a curling iron. The effects last longer in the rain

Suz

I love that you can wear it both curly and straight. That is great versatility!

Suz, it is! I'm fortunate with my hair in that regard. It's easy to style, despite its fineness.

SOOO pretty. Love how you take inspiration and then make it your own! Now you've inspired me!

Mirjana

Your hairstyle is beautiful and you look wonderful. I like asymmetric cutting.

Thanks for indulging us, Angie:-) The new 'do looks amazing, and equally fab straight as wavy!!

Kari

I REALLY like it. High five for a fellow asymmetrical hairdo.

In a way, this style is like a compilation of “The Best of Angie” in the years of YLF. Supershort pixie, wavy fringe, chic and stacked. You’ve got it all and it looks great! I like how it lets you adapt to how you want to style your hair for the day, as well as the humidity of the two cities you live in.

(Almost makes me want to go very short again...)

Janet

Oh, I like it very much! I like the subtle adjustments you've made. And high five to another who varies between going with our natural wavy texture and straightening as the mood strikes!

OH! You're all so nice. Thank you.

Kelly, Mirjana and Inge, gracious as always

Kari, that's an astute observation! Now I like it even more, and thank you.

Janet, go Team Wavy & Straight!

Lesley

It is adorable!

Sal

Great style - I can see the inspiration but you have made it yours!! Terrific both ways.

nemosmom

What a great, versatile style JUST FOR YOU, Angie! It is beautiful!

April

So many cool variations! Envious.

Love the hair - and the way Sam is looking at you

I have almost the same hairstyles in my rather large inspiration folder I really like this cut for you, Angie, and think it looks terrific both ways. I have a real love for the curled version though - and if my hair were like yours, I'd absolutely wear it that way. I'm working toward a similar style myself right now - although I keep changing my mind . We'll see how it goes. I'm thinking how setting a goal for the year with your hairstylist is such a great idea, and one I've never considered. I'm too shortsighted for that and am changing my mind monthly . So impatient I am !

Love it so much! I have a hair appointment tomorrow. May I show these photos to my hair stylist?

JAileen

Gorgeous! I love both versions.

taylor

LOOK at you beautiful lady. The color and cut are fabulous, as well as your ability to wear both straight or curled! You continue to inspire and WOW us daily!

Roxanna

I love it as well! Maybe because it's similar to my hairstyle (though mine is always curly!) Both ways look great on you, and I love how you made it your own. So important to remember that the stars' red-carpet inspiration needs to be translated to a world with actual weather and no stylists
