(and that from someone who rarely makes those sort of comments) I know he's right but I've known the one I've got for so long now... and she comes to the house which means I get to avoid thumbed copies of Paris Match or Femme Actuelle...and she's quite cheap... but it is true that every other haircut is a bit of a disaster. <br /><br />Still, looking on the bright side, the last one was catastrophic so the next one should be ok.<br /><br />Possibly.<br /><br />I'd like to be brave enough to just wander in to a 'salon'...earlybirdhttp://mangetoutetc.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-31269297016603664072011-11-13T00:47:01.309+01:002011-11-13T00:47:01.309+01:00The Japanese believe that a woman's beauty res...The Japanese believe that a woman's beauty resides in the nape.Rouchswalwehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393987883437907945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-77729475873853131062011-11-12T23:34:11.155+01:002011-11-12T23:34:11.155+01:00Great hair cut Lucy.

I did wish to see more of your face, you tease. I agree with BB that the back of the head and nape are important too, which is why I love my swing out vanity mirrors.

When the trip to the hairdresser's was announced I was asked, "How would you like it done?" My response was, "Feel free!" Lu's choice was perfect. Somehow the shape of the cut and the sloping lines just fits her face ideally.<br /><br />Of course, as this cut lays bare that delicious nape of her neck, and as you know I am about 6 very convenient inches taller than Lu...... Well of course I cannot be entirely objective; but then I wouldn't want to be!Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-46537578004953176892011-11-12T17:28:05.335+01:002011-11-12T17:28:05.335+01:00Hah!

With the WIP novel I went for broke and a woman's hair dominates the first ten pages. The subject is fascinating because hairstyles are not simply a way of enhancing appearance but have the power to suggest different types of character (bouffant - generosity of spirit, eton crop - heartlessness, pony tail (loose) - irritating tendency towards the juvenile, pony tail (constrained) - good manual skills, full bob - a louche potential, etc, etc) with - colour sub-dividing all these categories. Provided a woman has sufficient hair, £75 in her handbag and a venturesome spirit she can - in simplistic terms - emerge from a salon as a sinner or a saint, based on an assessment at 3 m distance, no nearer. I speak as a man of course and so I should. Women's judgement of other women's attractiveness is as notoriously unreliable as men judging other men. And here's why. Forty years ago the feminine consensus would have been for Valerie Hobson while the male consensus would have been Brigitte Bardot. Women believed (assuming they were telling the truth) that a touch of aristocracy tipped the scale while men... well, we don't need to go into that. And the typical hairstyles of both actresses confirmed the views across the gender divide.<br /><br />Referring to your cut as merely "short at the back" greatly undersells that part of the style -forgivable I suppose given that you judge yourself from the front. But second parties are not so limited. As far as I can tell the rear has been cut to create a parabolic arch framing the back of the neck - a master-stroke from whoever dreamed it up first since neck-backs (Hmm, it's a composite that won't take off) are nearly always assets that shouldn't be covered.<br /><br />I'd be interested to know Tom's reaction to this cut, assuming he can be persuaded to be entirely objective. The irony is pride of place usually goes to the cuttee's views whereas this is certainly a case when the onlooker sees most of the game. "I don't feel comfortable with it; it makes me feel too old, too young, too tarty, too old-maidish, too hoydenish" (There. that makes us for "neck back") is just one vote. Almost certainly it will be swept away by the power of democracy.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-80978464024371613762011-11-12T16:25:15.966+01:002011-11-12T16:25:15.966+01:00you look lovely! try a big round brush when drying...you look lovely! try a big round brush when drying and it'll be beaten into submission. <br /><br />one thing that i find a lost art, is hairdressers cutting hair to the client's hair type, face shape etc. generally now, they just give you the cut you ask for without regard for whether your hair is fine or coarse or curly or poker straight and although you emerge looking stellar, it all comes out in the wash, as it were. <br /><br />i finally found myself a hairdresser who isn't particularly chic, and who's atrocious at the styling game, which means that i walk out looking so-so, but her cuts are fabulous and last all the way until the next one, and that is a rare find. <br /><br />if you're ever in my neck of the woods, i can hook you up.the polish chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929281676865641560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-76798609190515895802011-11-12T16:18:38.497+01:002011-11-12T16:18:38.497+01:00I do like a dramatic A-line, with the back very sh...I do like a dramatic A-line, with the back very short, and the sides following the chin line.
