The Bob Cut Hair



Jessica Simpson's bob cut hair
What’s the most recommended hairstyle? . . . The bob cut hair

In the 50’s bob cut hair was called the “pageboy” and in the 60’s the inverted bob was called, “the arrow,” as the shape of the cut resembled the tip of an arrow, The back, under the occipital bone, was the tip or point of the arrow as it got longer on the sides. The bob cut hair morphed into the “asymmetrical cut,” which was cut off  by the ear on one side and as it rounded the head, the lines of the cut lengthened to the chin line on the other side . . . a masterful, blended work of art.

Even though the “bob cut hair” has multiple variations, one thing holds true and that is its sophistication, ease and longevity. The most recent updates for cutting techniques with the inverted bob cut hair have been slicing in surface layers that move forward. This gives more volume, softness and movement to this bob.

If you were to ask your hairdresser to update your hairstyle to something fashionable, easy and sophisticated, do you have any idea what they may suggest for you? This one is easy, a lay down, even with all the different hair types and face shapes to consider . . . oh, not to mention something that can work for the styling impaired too. I would lay a bet, 9 out of 10 hairdressers will recommend some form of the bob cut hair. The type of bob they suggest will be determined by your hair type and face shape.

My favorite short sophisticated hairstyle hasn’t changed much over the years either and it still comes in as a favorite of hairdressers in general. What is the sure thing? The bob cut hair, layered, stacked, inverted, chipped and these are just some of the different variations of this cut.

The only hair type that can be difficult in this style is thick hair. Some women with thick hair can’t wear this easily, but with the right cut, your thick hair may look great in a version of the bob cut hair. An example would be the “Dorothy Hamill” cut, that in the 70’s was a favorite (people were still asking for that haircut 20 years later!) It fit the criteria of easy, sophisticated and fashionable. It was the haircut many could wash and wear and it would ideally, “fall into place.”

Red flags should go up if you find yourself running to your hairdresser to “chop it off” because you just can’t stand your hair any longer. This request will have the experienced hairdresser slowing things down a bit, asking you some good questions that will reveal there is something else going on in your life that needs attention . . . this is a given!

A slight difference can go a long way in updating almost any hairstyle. The most recent updates for cutting techniques with the inverted bob cut hair have been slicing in surface layers that move forward. This gives more volume, softness and movement to this bob. The right foiling techniques in this hairstyle can do wonders for giving more pizzazz to this hairstyle.

From strong to subtle high lights, depending on your style, this hairstyle begs for some creative coloring techniques that really turn heads.

Summer Hair Protection Tips



Summer Hair Protection
Summer Hair Protection

Minnesotan’s have gotten out the hats

Do you believe this heat wave? Local hair salons must be having a record July helping their clients deal with all the summer hair damage that is out there. This morning I went for a walk in a park near home that has a big playground with lots of moms. For the first time today I noticed a very large majority were wearing hats of some kind. Obviously after several days of record breaking sunshine everybody has given up on care and has opted for summer hair protection. A very wise strategy, by the way, I know I have posted several summer hair protection tip articles lately but no matter who the hairdresser is they will have to admit the the best summer hair protection routines for this time of year is a hat.

But if hats are not your thing here is an interesting piece from the CBS 3 Philadelphia complete with video on some great tips for making it through the summer without a hair transplant. Pay particular attention to the advice on hair dryers. Put away those hair dryers until the kids go back to school, your hair will love you for it.

Summer Hair Protection

Natasha Brown Reporting(CBS 3) PHILADELPHIA

Lots of us have had a bad hair day on Monday, thanks to the rain. However, if your hair is bad even on sunny summer days, maybe it needs some special summer hair protection. CBS 3′s Natasha Brown shows you the things that might work for you.

Summer sun is tough on hair. “It definitely gets a little more bleached and dry,” said one hair salon customer, “especially being at the shore, the beach, salt water, the pool, and chlorine.”

Ponytails, pigtails and hats act as quick fixes for some, but sun exposure can leave hair looking limp and lifeless. What do hairdressers say you should do? “We have a leave-in conditioner,” said Alex Molchazskiy of L’Etoile. “You can spray it on your hair and it protects from the sun.”

There are dozens of new summer hair protection products flooding the market. Phyto Sun Protectant products are one line claiming to offer UV protection. Kiehl’s Leave-In Conditioner is meant to shelter the hair from harmful sun rays. “Use a product that contains a sunscreen, preferably, if you’re going to be out in the sun a lot for the summer,” said Rick Boldini of Sianni Salon.

A lot of hairdressers swear by these products, but not everyone is sold. Beauty industry author Paula Begoun is skeptical, pointing out that the FDA doesn’t allow hair care products to carry an SPF rating. “If the UV protection is in a product like a conditioner, and you’re in the shower, you’re rinsing those sunscreen ingredients down the drain,” said Begoun. “If you’re putting it on in the form of a hair styling product, the heat from your blow dryer or flat iron is also degrading the sunscreen ingredients.”
