With so many celebs stepping out in beautiful bobs and pixies ala the sleek Michele Williams http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/LNX7qyDyfRH/2011+National+Board+Review+Motion+Pictures/C1h1VLmpQRQ/Michelle+Williams the question on so many womens lips these days is "To Chop or Not to Chop". While these looks are chic and sexy they are not for everyone. REPEAT: NOT FOR EVERYONE! Here is a checklist that you should ask yourself before you get in the stylist chair. Please, for your sake and theirs.
1. Please ask your trusted professional stylist first if this look will be flattering for you.
Your stylist will be the most honest and theycan provide a professional hair audit.
2. Do I really, without doubt, want to go this short?
You really have to be ready for this change.
3. Do I have the right face shape for this cut?
These shorter styles do not work for certain shape faces.
4. Do I have the right texture to acheive this look?
So important because if you are the type to wash and wear you have to have the right hair texture or you must commit to styling it a bit.
5. If you can get through the checklist with a positive outlook, then and only then would you book that appointment.
A great thing to do is to start pulling pictures from current magazines and high end department store catalogs such as Nordstrom and Bloomingdales.
