CHI - Spring 2009 - (Page 49) 1. Bob’s not too short. Gamine crops like the one made famous by a young Mia Farrow and, more recently, Victoria Beckham, are beautiful on a petite frame and a face with perfectly symmetrical features. But it can be decidedly unforgiving on the other 99.9 percent of us with real-life looks. Bob, however, is more adaptable. It can be cropped anywhere between the ears and the shoulders, providing just the right proportion for any frame. 2. Bob’s not too long. Long locks send one of two messages— natural and carefree or sexy bombshell. Both are viable, but if you want to send a third message—one that says, “I’m chic, stylish and confident,” Bob is the way to go. 3. Bob’s not “off-the-rack.” One size does not fit all, and that’s just fine with Bob. This cut is comfortable with layers, angles, clean lines or choppy edges, baby bangs or long, sweeping bangs. Bob adapts to just about any shape a hair stylist can create and always emerges with sass and style! 4. Bob loves variety. If you think there’s only one way to wear this cut, think again. Smooth it into a sleek curtain of hair; pump it up with waves or curls; brush it forward; slick it back. Bob loves a style challenge and is ready and eager to reflect every single one of your many moods. 5. Bob is color’s best friend. This cut can easily carry the day, but Bob definitely comes alive when enhanced with gorgeous hair color. (Think designer necklace with a little black dress.) The clean lines of the hair cut serve as the very best canvas for a professionally-designed hue. (Professional is the operative word here— uneven, poorly applied color simply won’t cut it on a look like this because there’s nowhere to hide imperfections.) Natural is nice, but the simple shape readily supports vivid, dramatic color, too. If you’ve resolved to start the New Year with a new ’do, why not think about Bob? No matter what your personal style, there’s a version that’s just right for you! n Volume V, Issue 18 49
