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

Thank you!

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

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

Thank you!! I am very happy with it.

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

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

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

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

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 ?
