Every year or so I fancy an update of my hairstyle, I’m not sure why but I tend to get bored and want to try something different or tend to to-and-fro from no fringe to fringe.

Lockdown has stopped most people from having their hair done but to be honest I don’t usually visit the hairdressers more than about once, maybe twice a year anyway.

My hair has got rather long again, down to my bum. Although it looks lovely at this length, it is rather irritating whilst being as knotty as it is! I don’t even mind that it takes longer to wash and dry for the most part. I am someone who needs a style that is low maintenance because I have never been very good at styling my hair.

Styles that I have been researching this year, are mid-back styles with lots of layers, especially round the face. The main one of interest has been the shag. I’m not particularly interested in fashion, but I noticed that it is a style that was popular at least in 2020, I’m not sure about this year.

Here are some of my favourites:

I got my hair cut back in mid May so this post is a little delayed. In the end I asked the hairdresser to cut my hair to a style that suits me best. Here is what they went for:

I usually steer away from a blunt cut of one length as I’ve always preferred layers but I think the blunt cut suits me past a certain length. The hairdresser also explained that after a certain length of hair, it is just length and provides nothing more to the face. My face needs layers round it, so the face framing layers were a joy to see. The face framing layers are great when your hair is up as the bits look cute and feminine.

Take care,
