03.14.10Sunday Hair Inspiration: TwiggyDid you know Twiggy's given name was Lesley Hornby? I didn't either until I looked it up. She's a great example of the power of a good haircut/color. In 1966, Twiggy had her hair colored and cut short by celebrity hairdresser Leonard. He was trying out his new crop haircut on models and then having pictures taken and hung in the salon. When a fashion journalist from The Daily Express saw Twiggy's picture, she immediately asked to meet with her and arranged to have more photos taken. A few weeks later, the publication featured a picture of newly cropped Twiggy ...

02.15.10Hair Inspiration: On RepeatUgh. How cute is she? With hair that you could work in a million different successful ways. She looks short too. Like, in a good way. And scrappy. Like she'd give you a shove if you fucked with her boyfriend (or gfriend). EDITED TO ADD: Duh! This is about Karla of Karlascloset.com, and I've totally already gushed about her inspiring haircut! I even have an entire interview with her hairstylist from Hairroin Salon posted if you wanna check it out: Getting the Cut. Maybe it was the sunglasses the threw me off? Eh, it's Monday.

01.17.10Sunday Hair InspirationI'm listening to the Golden Globes pre-pre show online and looking around for hairspiration... Check out this platinum blonde bob with blunt bangs. It's so blonde it's almost gray! She looks unique and chic. I love the chunky geometric necklace. We've seen side-swept bangs for so long, but lately these wispy bangs across the brow are making a comeback. They're very youthful.

01.12.10Hair Inspiration: Krysten RitterBreaking Bad's Krysten Ritter has really good hair. I love the super dark shiny color and her fringe. Krysten frequently wears her hair in long, loose waves. I love this look. Sometimes she wears it straight, which is cute too. Krysten's hair looks cute pulled back in a bun or ponytail, as well. If they ever do a live action version of Snow White, Krysten is totally your girl!

01.10.10Sunday Hair InspirationEver since I got my hair cut, I've been thinking a lot about what I find interesting about hair. I like writing about celebrity hair, but mainly from the gossipy perspective. For the most part, celeb hair is pretty and pretty boring. Lots and lots of long, loose curls. Hair that's not boring? The heads coming out of WIP Hairport in Lisbon, Portugal. The cuts they do at Hairport are like hair art. I'm posting the tame ones. Check out their Flickr page, if you want to browse some extreme hair inspiration. What's the most extreme haircut you guys have had? Would ...

01.05.10Long Hair InspirationMy hair is finally getting kinda long; it's past my shoulders, but I have a fixation with growing it even longer. (Who knows where these hair goals come from.) I have a haircut scheduled for tomorrow at The Hive, but I'm going to just get more layers in the front, and maybe (?) some long bangs. How gorgeous is the woman's hair above? The casual curls and the front braid? LOVE. Lately I've been skipping the blow dryer and wearing my hair wavy. It's made me wish I had truly wavy/curly hair. My eldest niece has naturally highlighted, thick, curly hair. It's ...

01.05.10We Love Short ShortIt's a new year. Are any of you getting a new haircut? I like this short, asymmetrical cut... Do you guys remember when Samaire Armstrong had short hair? What the hell happened to her, anyway? I think I heard a rumor that she fell off the wagon. Hmm. Her hair is too cute here. Well. This girl is ttl adorable.

12.19.09Feather BrainedUm, hi, your hair is killing me. Not the best quality pic, but I had to share, because she has gold feathers in her hair... When I was leaving the grocery store tonight, I was parked next to an old burgundy colored Porsche, which had a giant feather stuck in the dashboard. I almost waited in my car just to see who came out and claimed that car. Feathers in your Porsche > Feathers in your hair, but still. A flock of feathery photos after the break. Continue Reading...
