You know that feeling one day your
hair is fine, the next you cannot do anything with it. I knew it was time to
pay a visit to the god of hair aka Michael Charalambous.
Michael is highly regarded by
celebrities, royalty and the extremely fussy beauty and fashion editors. His
haircuts are works of art. You will never leave the salon with anything less
than a technically-perfect cut.
A bob is always one of the hardest
cuts to do. There are so many versions which makes it a good style to have as
you can always give it a
contemporary twist so you have the look
of the moment.
Every time I see Michael he always
sits me in the chair and works out what tweaks are necessary to ensure my hair
looks good and is easy to style.
This time he said that he was
going to keep the hair blunt but give me a reverse angle cut. “Being slightly
shorter at the back than at the front will stop it looking too square and too heavy,” Michael explained.
“Because you have sloping shoulders it will make them appear more athletic. It
is the little things that make the difference.” And Michael is right. It is so
much easier to style.

A good stylist will show you how
to create the same look at home. He gave me a good tip to dry my hair. “Push it
forward and hold with a round brush and dry the hair behind it (see picture),”
he said. “It will help to make it smooth.”
Kent Brushes, which has been
making brushes since the 18th century, has held Royal Warrants for
nine reigns, has a good large round bristle brush (PF09 70mm Diameter Large Radial
Brush £13.50, stockists: www.kentbrushes.com). It
is easy to create tension with this as the bristles grip the hair and it does
not slip out of your hand.
As always I was delighted with the
result. My hair has been so much easier to manage and not getting as frizzy.
However, as we all know you can never achieve that salon look yourself. But,
then that is why we love that confidence booster we get when we get our hair
done.
