Agyness Shows Off New Bob

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0700

Just when we thought that New York Fashion Week couldn't show us any more hair surprises, Agyness Deyn stole the limelight from Victoria Beckham by unveiling her brand new bob yesterday at the shows. It's typical of on-trend Agyness to have updated her look, just when it seemed everyone was copying her crop.

This new, short, yet sharp cut looks striking with Agyness' bleach blonde colour and has a retro feel that brings to mind the flapper girls of the 20's. It's also more groomed, feminine, shiny and polished than her previous spiky, street-chic cut.

The haircut debuted at the Michael Kors show and was teamed with matte red lipstick and dark brows. I really like it, however, I'm sure it won't be long before she changes it again - the the girl does love to experiment.

Trend Alert: 90's Beauty is Back

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0700

While we're basking in the tongue-in-cheek quirkiness of the 80's revival, (think scrunchies and big hair) the 90's renaissance is creeping up on us slowly but surely. Take The Wackness for example, or the recent comeback of 90's supermodels Linda Evangelista (the new face of Prada) and Claudia Schiffer who is fronting the Chanel campaign this season.

The Soft Goth look, which is essentially an 80's style, was revived in the 90's with bands like the Nine Inch Nails. Meanwhile long, wavy grunge hair, dubbed polished dreadlocks this summer, was a 90's staple.

I remember trying to make my hair look extra messy, much to the chagrin of Ma Bella who would try and flatten it down with hairspray. Even the 90's undercut is currently enjoying a revisit, thanks to model and girl about town, Alice Dellal.

Other hot 90's beauty trends include crimped hair. The sight of the models at Luella stomping down the catwalk in Doc Marten-esque boots, with teenage goth makeup and crimped pigtails took me right back to Sixth Form where a surly attitude, nose piercing and kohl-rimmed eyes were the hallmarks of status.

Alternating nail colours, a trend model Jodie Kidd has been snapped sporting, was also a 90's staple in the classroom. In addition the return of the bob – that 90's good girl hairstyle, as currently seen on Victoria Beckham, Katie Holmes and the longer version on Eva Mendes, seems to be just the first step towards the layered, grown out choppy Rachel cut; named after Jennifer Aniston's character Rachel in Friends, and undeniably the most copied hairstyle of the decade.

The Guardian cites 1994 as the key year for the pre-Rachel bob, following the release of Pulp Fiction, where Uma Thurman shows off a jet black version of the style. Perhaps the severe bob, which even Agyness's cut seems to be morphing into, plus skinny cigarette pants and an oversize white mens shirt is going to be the look of the season. Retro beauty here we come.

Love It or Hate It? Dannii Minogue's Asymmetrical Hair

BellaSugarUK — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:00:00 -0800

On Sunday night's X Factor, Dannii Minogue sent the lovely Lucie on her way. Although the evening was sad (and in my opinion unfair), Dannii said her goodbye in style, sporting an asymmetrical bob. The right side of her hair was longer than the left, and the left side of her fringe was longer than her right! Dannii's always doing something funky with her look either styling it in a quiff or crimping the top. Vote on what you think of this particular hairstyle below.

Last night at a Ray Ban party at the Flower Pot in Kentish Town, English singer Kate Nash debuted a brand-new bobbed haircut.

Out of these three looks below, which haircut do you find the most flattering on Kate?

Have You Ever Had a Bob?

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 08 May 2009 04:30:00 -0700

Happy Birthday Bob! The the blunt-cut, bob haircut is turning 100 this year. The style, which was first invented in 1909 in Paris by Antoine de Paris (whose inspiration was Joan of Arc), has reinvented itself decade after decade proving that history always repeats itself, especially when it comes to hair. 2008, in particular was a banner year for the bob. We saw celebrities wearing a multitude of takes on the bob ranging from the pageboy bob to the choppy bob, the angled bob, Louise Brooks bob and the hocus-pocus bob.

Mark Coray, VP of the National Hairdressers' Federation of Great Britain, said, "The bob has rocked through the ages with the punks, the mods, new romantics and with pop and television stars. I have been cutting hair for 25 years and not one week has passed where a bobbed hairstyle has not left the salon."

I had a bob when I was eleven. It was just below my chin and was I totally obsessed with making sure it was always perfectly curled under. It looked great, but was too high maintenance for my adolescent lifestyle. Have you ever worn your hair in a bob?

What Color Hair Do You Like Best on Rachael Leigh Cook?

BellaSugar — Mon, 12 May 2008 12:00:06 -0700

I had no idea that Rachael Leigh Cook was so adventurous with her hairstyles and hair color until I started rummaging through pictures of her from the past few years. Back in the day, she switched back and forth from brown to red, but over the weekend at the Step Up Women's Network Inspiration Awards Lunch in Los Angeles, her hair looked lighter than ever. Plus, it was cut into a Louise Brooks bob. I'll admit, this isn't my favorite style on the starlet, but she has such a beautiful face that I don't think she could ever look terrible. Which hair color do you prefer on Rachael?

Whose Hair Looked Best at The MuchMusic Video Awards?

BellaSugarUK — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 04:30:00 -0700

I've never heard much about the MuchMusic Awards, however, they celebrated their 20th anniversary last night in Ontario, Canada with tons of supportive singers and MTV reality show stars. Kim Kardashian rocked the red carpet with an intricate hocus pocus bob (meaning that her hair is just pinned up to appear shorter), Audrina Patridge looked blonder than ever, and Canadian singer-songwriter Lights sported a serious comb-over. All of the ladies donned smoky eyes and nude lips, however, who gets your vote for best looking hair of the night?

To Bob or Not To Bob?

BellaSugar — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 08:00:51 -0800

To bob or not to bob: That is the question. After all, as versatile as long hair can be - elaborate updos to easy ponytails - there are times when we may long for shorter tresses . . . like while hitting the snooze button early in the morning. In order to satisfy this internal struggle, I've searched for some of my favorite celebrities with both bobbed and not-bobbed styles to compare. Take a look at the matchups I've found and decide which you find more suitable.
