I fancy an old fashioned 'page-boy' cut but with a slight variation, I can't find a decent picture..

I wan't a picture of the style so that I can take to the hairdressers and then explain what I want.

It will be a big change but I think it might look good.

What do you reckon to the style? and anyone know a good site where I might find a picture?

quite a few here,although the difference between a 'page-boy' and bob seems very small

oh not sure about the first link - they're too bob-ish, have a sort of bob at minute.

the purdey one is more like it..

do you know the woman that went out of casualty at the end of the last series - sort of like hers. doesn't make sense really does it.

a purdey surely?

MascaraOHara · 18/10/2007 12:59

What, you think I should ask for a purdey? that's not exactly what I want though.

Erin O'connor used to have a lovely pageboy/purdey cut, but been googling her and caan't find much.

nappyaddict · 18/10/2007 13:48

MascaraOHara · 18/10/2007 17:16

Nope, see I just can't find it - I can picture it in my head but am absolutely useless at drawing.

quote:

"THE new age Purdy cut - similar to Naomi Campbell's new hairstyle - is another retro style that's being reinvented for spring/summer 2007.

"The strong, heavy outline of the hair is extremely in vogue, but beware - this is not a look that can be easily carried off," says Gary.

"It works best on the very young or youthful looking. You should avoid this if you have a round or square face shape because of this look being jaw-length, it can exaggerate your shape. If you do fit the criteria for this fantastic look, then go for it. On the right person with the right attitude, nothing looks cooler!"

MascaraOHara · 19/10/2007 14:07

oooooh... Kind of like hers from the yeah yeah yeahs but longer I'm thinking and more cut in round the face, choppier fringe and probably cut about jaw length.. then razored down to the end look more feathered..

See in my head I know exaclty what I want and can picture it but I can't describe it so need a picture to work from. If I said that to a hairdresser thay'd have no idea. lol

I watched CSI the other night and the skinny blonde one from that had a great cut - straightened to within-an-inch and choppy and bobbed at the chin. very nice, but high maintenence

Beenleigh · 19/10/2007 14:25

take the pic of the yeah yeah yeahs girl and tell them what you told us, should be fine

puppydavies · 19/10/2007 14:29

rofl rock urchin.

MascaraOHara · 19/10/2007 14:31

lo, no not like that at all..

maybe like a cross between a bob and a page piy.

OP posts:
puppydavies · 19/10/2007 14:32

i had mine like that when i was younger, looked great, really suited my longish face. i don't look like karen o though

puppydavies · 19/10/2007 14:33

didn't as in it didn't make me look like that should have got my money back

sparkybabe · 19/10/2007 16:15

I really like that rock urchin! I could look like that...
