Hair: Is Your Style Based on Your Body?

There’s been beacoup talk over here at B&TB about hair. Add that to the fact that I’m deep—and I mean swimming with the sharks deep—into an extra special project about the best hair in Oscar history and I can’t stop thinking about dos, don’ts and all those styles. One thing that I’ve become enormously fixated upon is the pixie cut. I think it is so adorable, so flattering, but more importantly nearly impossible to look icky. And now I find myself imagining how handsome I’d look with a sweetly shorn do. But then I think: Hmm all of those pixie topped red carpet girls have something in common (well, besides being gorgeous and talented and impossibly rich) they all have a slight, almost fairy-like body shape. Me—not so much. So then that gets me into my SATC wondering moods: Does body shape indicate the best cut for you?
It seems like in the pixie example, the answer would be yes. But what about bobs? In my completely non-scientific approach the medium bob seems to be best for someone like me, a medium size girl. And long layers? Well, I’d put those in the universally flattering category. How about you? Do you girls take body shape into account when you sit in your stylist’s chair? Swak –Jenna Mahoney
