The SEXY BOB

No it’s not the follow up to rap hit and dance move "Soulja Boy." Nor is it your aunt’s nickname for your Uncle Robert. It’s a sensation that’s sweeping the nation as seen on: Katie Holmes, Nicole Richie, Victoria "Posh" Beckham, Sienna Miller, and most lately (and importantly) me.

Let them say what they will, this short little number is HOT, despite what your boyfriend (or girlfriend, hey, I don’t know you) may say otherwise. Besides framing the face just so, this can do wonders for your bone structure, make you look sexy and sophisticated with a flick of the shears, and give you the volume you’ve only dreamt about in your most racy of late-night R.E.M. sessions.

I know, because I’ve been there. I’ve been where you are, in the "but it took me forever to grow it out" mode, the "but I can’t live without my ponytail!" mode. You WILL get over it.

Imagine blow-drying your hair without the dread of massive styling time. Imagine, texture and an actual cut that is a style in and of itself. Imagine waking up next to David Beckham, wait…okay I can’t promise that part.

If you’re bored with your hair, if it has never once danced along your jaw line or even dipped above your shoulders, you need this. Seriously, if you have to justify it, give it up to locks of love. Tell yourself you will technically be losing weight. Cut off the bad in your life and have a fresh start (hey…maybe THAT’S what Brit was doing!)

I never thought I’d be "that girl" but here I am. Advocating a national chop off. Do it! Be brave! Don’t hide behind your hair like I did for so many years! Once you do, I guarantee you will feel so free (if not, there’s always extensions, right? Worry not! You’ll love it!)
