Making The Cut: Autumn/Winter 2015 Hair Trends

So... I finally made the cut! For as long as I can remember, I have had long hair. When I say long, I mean VERY long, verging on the lengths of a Disney Princess. My long hair has always been my comfort blanket. When I had confidence issues regarding my weight, or skin I would always have my long hair to hide behind. Recently, however, the desire to chop it all off had become more overwhelming, especially as my 22nd birthday is around the corner, and I feel I am entering into a new chapter in my life, living back in London and embarking on my career. Many celebrities have been showcasing their new Autumn/ Winter shorter hair. Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Natalie Halcro, J Lo and now even Khloe Kardashian have joined the cropped hair crew. The long bob or 'lob', which is cut either blunt or with some texture, is normally worn messily and straight or with loose beachy waves. The haircut seems to be a big trend this season and I absolutely love it! I find it to be super edgy, easy to style and gives any outfit a chic and fashionable edge. 

Whilst watching the Channel E! series 'WAGS' I noted how Natalie Halcro was able to style her short hair in many different ways every week, always managing to look feminine and sexy. I decided this cut was something I wanted to at least try, after all, I think sometimes females forget that hair does actually grow back! So, without further hesitation, I messaged my amazing hair stylist Chiko with a picture to provide her with some inspiration. Even she was shocked at my request for a long bob (this coming from the girl who cried every time she got 2 inches cut off her 28 inch long hair) but she agreed and my appointment was booked. I'm not going to sugar coat it- it was a massive shock looking in the mirror when it was done, but now I couldn't be happier. I can't emphasize how much I love my cut! I have always felt I had a round face and wouldn't suit short hair but I honestly feel like this style would suit everybody! It is so much easier to take care of, and my hair is in incredible condition- not a pesky split end in sight. I am now going to try out a new hair care routine, one which involves hair masks and treatments (which I will keep you updated on) so I can maintain this healthy condition. It looks amazing both straight and curly, with a side or centre parting! To anyone who is debating whether to chop all their hair off- I would honestly recommend it! I promise you will never look back- unless it's to admire your new do!
