So this week started with a trip to the dentist. Not my favourite place to spend my time, but these things have to happen. After an hour or so of painful prodding, pulling and pushing on my teeth I was let free!! Luckily for me, I had foreseen this not-so-nice experience, and had planned the perfect afternoon to shift my post-dentist blues. So I had booked myself in for a hair cut! Being the arty fashion-y student I am, I hadn’t had my hair cut in months and frankly it was lifeless and dull. I decided to try out a small place in my home town of Winchester that had been recommended to me by a friend. Now, my favourite thing in the world when having my hair cut is the head massage during the washing stage. Every time I long for it to continue for hours!! So you can imagine my glee when my fabulous french stylist Patricia overs me a massage the minute I sit in the chair!!!! I get the choice of three oils (I choose Rose) and I’ve been there five minutes and before you know it I’m having a head, neck and shoulder massage! Utter bliss. I’m not going to lie, at first it does feel slightly odd as you are sat in the normal hair dresser’s chair, you do have a mirror in front of you, and whilst you have the urge to shut your eyes and loose yourself in the massage, the presence of the mirror and the hustle and bustle around you doesn’t quite allow you to do so. Yet it’s still the most amazing start to a hair cut!

So Patricia had made me a very happy lady from the word go, (and may I just add I also got the normal massage during the hair washing stage too BARGAIN!) and because she was french and oh so chic, I decided to hand over creative control to her. I was in a good mood now, fancied a change, fancied a buzz from a new look. So here I am now, with a midi bob. Absolutely LOVE it. I call it the midi bob simply because yes it is a bob but to me ‘the bob’ has awful connotations of my younger years where I could not handle my wild hair and decided to go for a ‘shorter’ look that ended up with me looking a bit like a mushroom. However my new midi bob does have a nice length to it, its only just off the shoulders and its got a fab shape. Here’s some celebs also sporting the midi bob – I reckon it’ll come back as a trend soon seeing as the 60′s trend is around and bringing back block fringes and lots of good shapely styles for thick hair! (woo for thick hair!!)

So first we have Alexa…the queen of the midi bob – well the bob family in fact. She reinvents this look every season and always makes it look so effortless and chic.

Next we have the gorgeous Fearne Cotton. Her midi bob is fairly new…so perhaps she will start this next trend?

Finally we have Nicola Roberts with her infamous amazing red midi-bob…

I think you’ll all agree, the midi bob is pretty awesome. For those curious about the salon I went to it was Mawson&Company in The Square in Winchester. http://www.mawsonandcompany.com/index.html
