No,I'm not sending my other half (VHM) for a surgical procedure! It's just that for a while now I have had it in my head to get my locks chopped a bit shorter. 

'The Lob' Aka..... Long bob, does hold a lot of appeal. Firstly it's low maintenance, I either straighten my naturally wavy hair, or tie it up, and secondly the condition through constant heat abuse, does mean that it's probably time to say goodbye to a few inches.

My (VHM visibly winces!)

I'm not that good at the whole beauty thing, I always admire girls who have whole afternoons to pamper and preen themselves, sadly I am not that type. I always leave it until my hair is almost at breaking point before getting to the salon, until I saw this picture of 

Jessica Alba's messy,wavy long bobbed hair?

The 'Lob' I thought, could be just edgy enough for me? I'd say it's on the warm side of cool.....If you get my drift? And, because my hair after washing does tend to resemble a troll on a good day, until I sort it out with lots of products and time (which of course I never have enough of.)  So, letting my hair air dry naturally and then just running an oil or serum through really, appeals.

I have recently found an amazing hairdresser who has done wonders for the color on my hair, a mixture of a balayage technique, and a few carefully placed high and low lights, means my naturally mousy locks, (color wise) look pretty good these days!

But it's the chop I need. So this Friday It's 'C' day, or possibly 'D'...... for disaster day if I don't like it! Although I have such great confidence in my fabulous hairdresser, that I am sure I will absolutely love it!
