Musings of a City Girl

Katy Perry (and Perez Hilton)

I am thinking about chopping it off…my hair that is ha ha ha. I want to get what is referred to as a “collar bob,” similar to the cut Katy Perry (above) and Heidi Klum (below) are sporting. However I am having a difficult time deciding.

On one hand it will give me a more mature look. I’m going for that cutthroat executive look. My baby face does not say that at all lol. However, if I go short that means having to spend extra time on my hair each morning.

On the other hand my hair does not grow fast. If I hate it, I am stuck with the shorter hair. I don’t think I’ll hate it but I’m just concerned I’ll like my longer hair more. Short hair means no pony tails. I could still have one but it will look like the end of a broom, like a tiny bush sticking out of the scrunchie. Not cute. But no pony tails are good because wearing them constantly caused a lot of breakage.

Obviously this is ridiculous and not a real problem. I just don’t know what I want. I am so risk averse it is ridiculous. It is astounding that I was a finance major. You guys can relate right? Sometimes making drastic changes can be difficult. But I feel like new life chapter=new hair.

So what do you think? Should I stay or should I chop?

Paulina Rubio

Paulina Rubio was shutting it down, like Rachel Zoe would say, on the Red Carpet of Los Premios MTV 2009. This look is perfection from the dress, accessories (check out her shoes in the picture below – sick!), to the hair and makeup. Congrats to Paulina for winning the award for Best Solo Artist.

Those are not your grandmother’s ankle boots. How cool are those heels?

Rihanna @ Gareth Pugh

Rihanna shut it down during Paris Fashion week. She wore a slew of black outfits that were far from boring, occasionally skipping on a bra just to make sure ha ha ha. At Hussein Chalayan she changed it up with some grey and ended her week with some color at the Chanel show. Mariel Haenn, her stylist, is the mastermind behind her looks. Mylah Morales and Ursula Stephens hold it down on the makeup and hair front.

Check out her many looks during the week below: (more…)

My failed attempt at showing what my hair looks like. Towards the end it looks more like what it looks like in person, but it looks even lighter than that.

Note: I am not changing my haircare regimen. I was using a deep conditioner (my UANS Intensive Reconstructor) once a week and will continue that routine. My hair was color treated before and is color treated now.

Singer Cassie

Recently Bad Boy records artist Cassie caused a stir on the internet when she released pictures of her half shaved head via Twitter. While people shaving half of their hair off is nothing new, I became concerned that this may become a trend in local neighborhoods when a few days later La La Vazquez (former MTV VJ/NBA star Carmelo Anthony’s wife) joined the club.

My hair type is curly and thin. After years of struggling with frizz in the summer, I found a way to wear my hair naturally and frizz-free. It is a great way for me to give myself and my hair a break from weekly roller sets and blowouts at the hair salon.

My first hair tutorial. Yay! This hair style is inspired by Paulina Rubio, a Latin American pop star. There are tons of videos on how to get beachy waves using different techniques. In this tutorial I started out with straight hair that is a few days old. It is easier to style hair that is a few days old vs. freshly washed hair.
