I'm about to get my hair cut because it's been too long since I had it in an identifiable style and as a lifestyle and fashion blogger, I feel it's sort of important that I have, you know, some style.

My advice? Get yourself a magazine and look at the hairstyles in it. When you find something you like that looks like it will work with your hair and face, slap it down in front of a stylist and go for it.

I remember once going into a hairdresser's with my hair just past my chin and handing them a picture of a girl with hair that was buzzed in back and longer on top. I said that was how I wanted my hair to look when I left. The stylist kept double, triple, and eventually sextuple-checking with me that I wanted it that short. At last she said: "Once I start cutting, it's gone." My reply? "It's hair. It grows back."

As it happens, I didn't keep the style terribly long, but I really enjoyed it while I did.

Amusingly enough, when my hair was down to my waist and I asked to have it cut above my shoulders, the stylist I had gone to at the time just said sure and started cutting. Much better experience, that time. Great cut, too.

But the point is, the great thing about hair is that it does grow back if you decide you don't like what you did with it. Have fun with it.
