My hair muse + my top 3 hair stylist

Arizona Muse

The new haircut

Ali McGraw

YSL S/S11 catwalk hair

I have fine, frizzy, dry hair. My hair resembles all the 'before' pictures and never the 'after' picture, you know the shiny, bouncy, long Kate Middleton hair. It is rare to see me with my hair out adopting the 'up do' of the season to keep my look on-trend. Ballet knots ala Chloe, twists ala YSL, you name it I am doing it. But a fabulous hair cut can and does make all the difference. I have been to many celeb hair stylists that don't ask any questions about my hair and proceed to give me the 'alexa' choppy bob when I don't have hair anything like Alexa's!

Your hairdresser should ask you a lot of questions about the nature of your hair, how you style it, what products you use, how you deal with your hair. You know your hair best so make sure you get that information across. Take in inspiration tear sheets but be realistic about what can be done with your hair type. Most salons offer a free consultation so you can chat with a stylist about what can be achieved. You should take advantage of this.

I have always wanted Ali Mcgraw hair but it is never to be. Instead I have found a new hair muse in Arizona Muse. Not only is she the model of the moment (she stars in this months July issue of Vogue) but I love her blunt bob that feels modern and not mumsy. It is perfect for my hair that can't take the thinning out that a layered look achieves. My fabulous hairdresser Jon Chapman knew exactly what I wanted and most importantly how to achieve it with my hair type. He asks all the right questions and his assistant gives you the best hand massage to help you relax.
