Bleach Bomb

August 19th, 2010 · 27 Comments · Blush Response

Yesterday, I looked in the mirror and KNEW. The hair, it had to go. The color, too.

The cut took about 45 minutes, the color [or lack there of] about an hour and half. It’s still not done – I didn’t want to burn my scalp, so the back is baby chick yellow for now, but it’s close. I used cheap-o clippers, which I had to take apart and put back together halfway through the process, on the sides and shears on the rest, adding texture with an eyebrow razor. It’s pretty much exactly like it was two years ago, just [almost] white.

There is something so incredibly sexy about seeing myself like this. First, there’s the blend of textures – short, long, soft, a little prickly. Then, the look itself. Then the style itself – androgynous, even boyish, but with that bombshell platinum adding layers of UNF.

I love it.

Always,

  • Aerion

    Looks super sexy on you. I couldnt rock a cut like that but i love them on other girls!!!!

  • Luis A.

    Amazing, stylish and beautiful!

    Have you considered making a tutorial for men? I mean, different hair styles for guys… I can’t stand my hair these last months and I’m looking for something nice, original and still “useful” at my office.

    Anyway, you always know how to look nice.

  • Natalie

    I really enjoy this style. One of my favorites of yours.

  • Zoe Black

    LOVE this cut. Absolutely adore it.

  • Claudia

    Well, I was rooting for a grow out but damn… this looks awesome. Love it. When its white I’m predicting an Isabella Valentine-ish awesomeness:

    Did you find anything to do in SF (via tweet)? I’m going to be in SF for UXweek and would love to meet up for a drink, gallery outing, or the like. That is, if yr into meeting weird nerdy women from tha interwebz.

  • Diane

    What is the texture of you hair? It always looks so thick/full but in this cut it looks as if just *maybe* I can imagine you have fine/thin hair (like my own) and just get that volume you usually sport with product/styling…

  • Lolla

    sorry to say… or not, but you could poop on your head and I am convinced that your hair would still look sexy! love A. ;)

  • rin

    sexy replicant!

    this post is not helping my brain. i’ve found myself standing in front of the mirror holding clippers in one hand & shears in the other several times in the past week. i keep telling myself that i’m ‘growing it out’ though my hair hasn’t reached too far past my chin since i was… eight years old?

    beautiful, as always. you are truly a style icon.

  • Rachel

    Very nice!

    Short hair on women is just sexier. I feel so much more feminine and sexy with shorter hair, for some reason. I don’t know why. I want to grow out my hair just because I miss having long hair and also to be able to get a new kickass cut but I find myself contemplating my clippers like rin, too. It’s just so frustrating the growing-out phase that it is in. And a new semester at school is about to begin…

  • Shaiyela

    We have the same hair! I’ve been rockin’ the white-blonde sort-undercut-ish thing since May and love it. Why didn’t it happen sooner?! :)

  • Libra

    I absolutely adore the cut and color!

    Also wondering – when you change your hair “drastically”, like from the previous style to this, do you find your taste in clothing and how you dress changing as well?

  • Grey

    Ultra-vixen Tank Girl for the win!

  • Nikki

    Saweeet. Your hair looks like mine does right now just shorter and not an ucky brown color. XD LOVE it! :)

  • Dara

    Is cutting the back hair difficult? It seems impossible to me!

  • zara

    can I say gorgeous?? GORGEOUUUUUSS!
    I love the way you decide you feel you need to change something and go and change it. thumbs up.

  • jinxmaintream

    i agree with grey! and i’m loving the look. super sexy with a powerful edge to it! props to do it yourself-nis!

  • Holly-Rae

    Snap! I cut my hair like this about a week ago, complete with the bleach job haha. Hair twins!

  • poppy

    holy mc-moley lady! you look spectacular

  • Alyson

    GORG. I wish I could pull off both a look like that, you look fabulous.

  • Melissa Dominic

    this is fantastic, there is no other word for it! there’s also something about chopping at your own hair that feels so good. i haven’t had the guts to do it until recently but now it is awkward all over and i love it (i have super short bangs and a weird side sweep and the back is mostly shaved) – different textures do feel sexy. haha

  • desiringmachine

    I continue to be envious of the hairstyles you can pull off, and I have a mohawk. I’ve yet to figure out how to give my hair a tousled, windblown kind of look, and have it look good as opposed to just messy/gross.
