If you read my blog last SUNDAY you will know that I am in the market for some changes. I have already started my weigh-loss plan (see Wednesdays post), and continuing on I have booked myself a hair consultation for today with a view to getting a new style and maybe colour done on Saturday. So here I am in the picture above, its actually from last year but I haven't changed much or at all which is sort of the problem.
Not having a single clue about what I want done to my hair I decided to look for some inspiration out on the web.
And actually, there are some pretty nice styles to look at, and age appropriate. I am not saying I am ready to be put out to pasture yet, but being totally honest I cant get away with the same at 41 as I did at 21.
The problem is of course, how do you know what will suit your face.? Well, my browsing eventually led to the Marie Claire website, and blow (dry) me if they don't have a virtual hair salon. Excellent, I thought I can see what looks good with my face shape (chubby I think you call it, but I'm working on that). First you have to upload a photo, then you can pick a style to 'try on'. After only a few seconds, you are then privy to possibly the scariest selection of photo's on the web. Want to see what I mean?
Well there was this .............
Or this ...................
Or even this .........................
And finally, before I could stand no more, this ..................
Now, I know I may not be a beauty queen, but I think they really need to work a bit more on their software, because squashing your features onto someone else's face shape just doesn't give you any idea how a hairstyle will look on you. If you look again you can see how variable my chin shape is from one picture to the other. A few of them don't even look human!!! They remind me of a dolly who has been left out in the rain, know what I mean? I am now a bit worried about getting my hair done, what the heck am I going to come out like?
Just in case you want to have a go here is the link
And don't forget to show me your ET photo's so I know its not just my face.
