Professional. Affordable. Impossible.


 If you've read my earlier post on Blonde jokes (http://thenobodyguide.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/im-female.html) then you will know that i'm blonde. But I'm not an all hair and no brain blonde. In fact I struggle to maintain any sort of acceptable "hair-do" but manage to sustain with impressive ease any number of "hair-don'ts".

I thought i'd just run a few hair fashions past you:

My hair is long, blonde and completely untameable but apparently that doesn't matter nowadays: cue the matted sheep dog style-

I have one major problem with these various takes on the "i lost my hair brush" look which is that surely spending 3 hours arranging, salt spraying, back combing and curling your hair to achieve a "just rolled of bed" appearance is a bit... well... a bit of a waste of time?

The other style i could attempt is tresemme chic- 


This is also known as impossibly glossy hair arranged into flat panes of hair perfectly surrounding your face and is designed for a studio, NOT for walking down a very busy London road on a windy day.

The next style is weirdly structural/ GaGa-esque.
I like to call it Hair-chitecture:

 Now whatever this style aims to do it isn't worth it. It usually goes one of two ways- the wig (in which your hair looks separate from your body and therefore wig-like) or the unfortunate unicorn (in which your hair represents a damaged unicorn horn).

The final look is... well it is what it is I suppose...
RAINBOW.


 Sometimes, i'll admit, this looks awesome. Sometimes, however, it looks like you are either a terrible decision maker, colour blind or completely blind or like you have just been involved in a serious incident involving a paint shop and some dynamite.


So there you have it- 4 ways to, or not to, style your hair. If i had to choose one i would probably join the matted sheep dogs- at least you could disguise it as being the result of a genuine loss of a hair brush or lack of time in the morning.... couldn't you?

A little Tip: wear your hair however you like and if you discover a way of styling your hair that actually works and is 100% risk free i would LOVE to hear from you.
