Hair Tutorial For An Asymmetrical Bob
One of the most asked about things from the comment section, is about my hair. Some have even asked for a hair tutorial, so this is the best I can do. I just got my hair cut this week, so while I was there, I had my beautician take a few pictures after she dried my hair. Hopefully you will be able to see the cut.
I wanted to be able to show you how my hair looks from the back, but I am terrible about fixing the back. I can’t see the back, and I can’t see someone’s reaction that is behind me, so whatever. Lol! I do try to style the back, but I never feel like it looks as good as when she does my hair.
Same picture, but one had the flash and one didn’t. You can see that she uses three different colors on my hair. The darker color is the base color, but I want to stay mostly blonde, so she foils a lot of blonde streaks. (My husband prefers blondes, and I would prefer that blonde to be me!!!) She then foils in pieces of red because I like some dimension to my hair.
Here is the other side. My hair is really, really thick. She has to thin it every time I get my hair cut. I know some of you are thinking,” wow, you’re so lucky”, but it is a pain also. It is so heavy that it is hard to keep body in it. It just wants to lay flat. It is kind of like those with a large chest, (boobilicious) I think they are so lucky. But, my sister-in-law and my daughter assures me that is not the case. Clothing doesn’t fit correctly and you can have back issues.
I guess that is why people always thinks the grass is greener on the other side. The people with the green grass are probably aggravated that they have to constantly mow that wonderful green grass. So, as always, we should be thankful for what we have been given, as well as what we were not given. Just like the Garth Brooks’ song, Unanswered prayers.[embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il4qOQGUGbo[/embedyt]
Come on ladies, you know you don’t ever get to look good without a little trouble. Go ahead, I know some of you might have just spit out your coffee, so go clean up the mess. I had a reader comment the other day that I was the most “real” blogger that she had seen. Do you think this is what she meant? Don’t other bloggers show you the dirty side of fashion? LOL!!!
Just in case you were wondering, this is my beautiful beautician Jessica. She about died when I told her I was going to take her picture and put it on the blog. She freaked out because she hadn’t curled her hair that morning, but instead decided to wear it straight. PLEASE! If I looked like that, I would not worry. Here is a tip on picking a hairdresser; if they do not have a great, updated hair style themselves, you might want to look elsewhere. Just sayin…

You’re so darn cute! I love your hair cut and style and I love that you’d show yourself at the beauty shop. Couldn’t agree with you more about hair dressers…have you ever noticed how a lot of hairdressers have permed hair that they don’t fix? Those girls won’t be touching me. 🙂
I did ask my hair dresser what the colors were, but she said she actually mixed colors and didn’t use just straight out of the tube. I don’t know what color line she uses on me, I know she recently changed to a new one.
Love your cut and color…and yes you are lucky to have such gorgeous, thick hair.
Signed, 13 strands
color is beautiful
Very pretty ‘do! I understand about heavy hair. Takes forever to dry/style it. Have to use a magnum force hairdryer and have a strong right arm! Ha! Very flattering cut for you! As I age, my hair is getting more & more crazy waves (only in the back). I live w /it. I can’t see the back. LOL. Thanks for your hair pics!????
ahhhhh yes, the beautiful look of foils under a dryer. I’m a former cosmetologist and I do miss all the creativity that comes with doing hair. It was a lot of fun! thank God I have daughters that have no problems continuing to let me experiment on them. 🙂
Since your girl is wearing a Paul Mitchell apron, is that the color line she uses as well? It’s what I have typically used so I’m wondering what colors (like the actual level and letter color) she put in your hair. I really like all 3 so if you are able to pass that info along it’d be great. If not, it’s ok!
Tania- you are a hoot! Love you ‘under the hood’ pic with your readers on!~ you still look super blog-a-licious! lol!
Your haircut is really cute and the color is pretty.
Beautiful hair and cut! I have had the Bob cut for a few years now and its my favorite, but my hair is very thin so I try to make it work the best I can. Thanks for the pictures!
OMG, you’re hilarious Tania!! 😀
I have an asymmetrical hair cut and I think it is the easiest style I’ve ever had. Love your color!
