Black Bob Job?

Black Bob Job?

Ok, so the plan was to grow out my red and blonde bob and try to look like this...

so pretty, so luscious, 

so uniquely cool, 

But considering my addiction to messing with my hair... 

after 2 long weeks...

I AM DYING!!!

In both senses... it's killing me and I am going to color it.

I decided to just keep the bob and go black. 

I really like my current hair as of now (see below)

red and blonde, light and dark, contrasty... 

                                                               but I have hair ADD!

Thank you Clariol.com for making these images possible...

CAN'T... STOP...COLORING...HAIR!

So, my lack of patience drives me to stay the same length but go a different color direction...

Black!

I always loved SnowWhite the best out of all the other princesses. 

She is just the most beautiful. Her dark hair, white skin, red lips... 

she rocks. 

After obsessing over the world wide web and looking for beautiful brunette bobs, 

these are the ones I thought were the best.

Classic and sleek...

artsy and unique...

The girl on left.,, kinda crazy cool hip black bob. 

vintage cool, 

confident and clean... 

smart and sassy...

sexy, 

brave, 

wild, 

tough..

but femanine, (Jess from Tattoo shop)

But... if I do it black... 

it's the hardest color to strip out if I change my mind.

And... I do change my mind a lot.

Blonde would be hard to get back...

Will I be brave enough?

To be continued...

so i bought the boxes. 

Black for my read and brown for my blonde.

separate the two into sections...

wash

comb

dry.. 

I like it!

Asymmetrical Black Bob...

Ok, I have been wanting a change in my hair to go along with my new widow status.

I want something strong, brave, gutsy, and sassy.

I feel as though my hair is my crown and it reflects how I feel inside.

And well, this is how I am feeling.

I have been wanting to go black for a long time...

see here...

but looking back at that post, I was so chicken and just tippy toed around just

GOING BLACK !

So, now that I am really black haird a year or so later... I am feeling like I have nothing to lose.

I have no husband to ask what he likes anymore. I usually did my hair the way he wanted and changed every so often to keep things interesting. 

So now, I will just do what I want...

 

I found this girl Frankie online that is in a English Girl Band called The Saturdays.

I am not really super intersted in her music...

BUT HER HAIR ROCKS!!!

Seems like a lot of other ladies do as well. She is getting copied so much like

she is the new Victoria Becham because of her bob.

So, here are some of my favorite images of her hair...

I like this one because of the way her bangs are kinda off and crazy curled up...

That is what I am attempting below.

 

Here is another girl I discovered online with the same hair and she actually shows you how to get it done in the salon. I love her confidence and her makeup too...

Fake a Frankie...

my previous hair was like this...

 

but then I was brave enough to really go black, and was attempting to grow out the bob...

but that did not last long. I can't stand the in between phase of that creepy crawly hair on my neck.

 

 

So, I decided to just start slowly chopping a little more every night for a weekend.

Taking baby steps is the best way for me.

I cut my own hair and have for the last 15 years. I am a thirfty lady who does not want to pay somebody a bunch of money to give me a cut I really don't like anyways. I trained myself, after many years of tears after leaving a salon, to just do it myself.

People always ask me how in the world I do it...

It is a mix of feeling, looking, and cutting.

I can cut the back of my hair with my eyes shut... literally. I "feel" my way through the cutting process. It is kinda like sculpture. I touch, feel what is too long, not even, or out of spot and cut away. The front I do by sight. I use my scissor like a razor and cut with them half open and slide the scissor downward. It is a confusing process. But I usually do not cut my entire hair in one sitting. It is a weekly process of cutting, looking, cutting, looking some more, and more...

I may have some sort of OCD with my hair cutting ... OK!

 

SO, here is where I am today. Kinda there, but not quite yet. I know I may one day be brave enough to go full out almost bald on the nape of the neck, but that will take time to be that brave.

 

 

 

 

I'm not quite brave enough yet to cut the under back incredibly short like Frankie.

I may be later, but for now I am just going to Fake Frankie.

Top Left: Tuck my hair behind my hear to make it look more like Frankie's short.

Got the cheat idea from this cute as a button girl on youtube

lots of cute tips on how to style short hair...

So, this is where I am now. Hopefully I can get the guts to go full out Frankie! WE will see...

Till then, Peace OUt my fellow hair obsessed ladies!

God Bless your Tress...
