hair envy - Alexa Chung



Okay, so who doesn't love Alexa Chung? (don't you dare)
So while I could talk endlessly about her fashion icon title, clothes and overall coolness, I come to you today to talk about her HAIR. For me, it just brings the whole lot together. Her unconventional beauty, her style, her attitude, and her hair, it's all too much for me to process.

 I've always wanted really cool short hair. I mean I loved my long locks but they were so




DRAB (André Leon Talley biatch!) and did nothing for me. It was bland and didn't bring the kind of attitude or style that my clothes do so I decided that I needed a change. For inspiration, Alexa Chung sprung to mind.

So I went to the salon, showed them pictures of Alexa, and chop, chop, chop... I now have bangs and short hair!! Wippeedeedoopdapday! You shall see this new hairdo sooon :)

Okay last thing, I have one complaint. There's always got to be a 'but' right? I love my new hair but I've always wanted to have the shaggy, tousled look Alexa has but it just doesn't flow that way because my hair is naturally pretty curly. If you look up "how to get alexa chungs hair" (yes, I did do that) her stylist, George Northwood always says rough dry and add a texturizing spray- which I bought especially to do this - and then to use tongs in random sections; when I do that...my hair just blows up into a frizz ball afro, and so I straightened the whole thing then used tongs in random sections. Next day, I just threw the whole thing up into a bun. Lovely.

New year, new me...in the physical sense of the word.

Are you planning on any hair makeovers soon? Let me know :) If you're hesitating, I say go for it!

  1. I LOVE her. Her hair is always perfection. Even when it's messy- it looks like it was styled that way. And her outfits are amazing! She can wear any designer and pull it off, and she never seems pretentious or stuck up. Definitely an idol of mine.

  2. I do love Chung's hair, but your hair rocks too! I love the "frizz ball afro" look! For me, I'm just planning on getting my hair trimmed and blown out, which is a rare occurrence for me!

  4. I like her hair too!! And yes a couple of times I went to the hairdresses with her photo!! I didn't do bangs, just layers and because it was summer I let them airdry. Of course I didn't get her "exact" look, but got pretty close!
