With my horrible, thin hair, am l in Dreamland to think l could have a 'perfect' bob a la Anna Wintour/Agatha Raisin ?
(Off duty only, work in hospital and have toddler as normal style is scraped back mum-bun!)

YouStupidBoy oh well if I end up looking like an assassin then at least that will fit in with always getting stopped at airport security for a ‘random’ check. Ive always wondered if I look like a spy or a contract killer or something.

To give you an idea of the difference it makes to fine hair, here is mine after it was cut into a sharp bob.

I've been growing my hair out from a short pixie and thankfully just before the hairdressers shut I got the rediculous mullet cut into a short bob rather like Natalie Portman and I'm loving it. I need some scissors to give the fringe a bit of a trim now it's grown a bit but sometimes I just pin it back into a quiff.

That’s a look I’ve always been envious of too. I have curly hair so a sleek bob would be the most high maintenance look I could go for (I’d have to carry GHDs around with me). You always want what you can’t have Smile

@WingBingo that looks great!

Thank you!

I have very recently discovered that purple shampoo goes on dry hair. It is really keeping the yellow at bay.

WingBingo gorgeous!

Dogwithanovenmit · 18/04/2020 11:52

Wing that looks stunning. Love it. And yes it does definitely look thicker in the bob.

YouStupidBoy · 18/04/2020 12:07

Love that WingBingo - especially the movement in the wavily - done version!!

WingBingo · 18/04/2020 12:11

Thank you!! I am very happy with it.

I topped the colour up with a silver toner, going for lilac next!

stakeholderwizz · 18/04/2020 12:45

That is exactly the look I want WING, did you take a reference to the hairdressers or just describe what you wanted?

ShleeAnKree · 18/04/2020 12:48

I like a bob with a fringe. Anna wintour's looks like a wig though. An inch longer with less triangle shape would be nicer

WingBingo · 18/04/2020 12:50

@stakeholderwizz I did share some Pinterest saves but I also let her use a new silver colour to try.

@WingBingo
All purple shampoo like that?
I didn’t know that? It foams up then l suppose? Smile

WingBingo · 18/04/2020 15:34

I used the Elvive purple shampoo. Doesn’t lather much so it took a while to massage it all in. I only added a teeny bit of water to help it.

My dream bob hair is like Vicky McCLure is Line of Duty Series 4 .

But as my hair is wavy I'd look like an unkempt Grayson Perry Hmm

I was thinking of getting a fringe cut but thankfully I didn't as I couldn't maintain it .

I'm not keen on the Natalie Portman or Anna Wintour length , something more Una Thurman Pulp Fiction ?
