<p>You guys know I’m all for change, but I am <em>not</em> loving this look. I like her makeup, she looks fresh and young in the photo on the right. But that’s about all I like. She has a beautiful face and the short cut makes her blue eyes pop, but I think she went <em>too</em> short. I don’t like the messy pompadour in the front—I can go on and on here. I just don’t like it.</p>
<p>What do you guys think? Should she have cut her hair this short?</p>

<p>Again.</p>
<p>Gone is the <a href="http://www.katrinaspencer.com/blog/index.php/2011/01/21/sideshow-rihanna/">Sideshow Bob</a> curls, now she has a sleek, short pixie. </p>

<p>Obviously, this is a well done weave. It reminds me a lot of how Mary J. Blige wears her hair. (But Mary wears hers <strong><em>much</em></strong> better. Click <a href="http://www.vevo.com/watch/mary-j-blige/deep-inside/USMCV9900260">here</a> and you’ll know what I’m talking about.)I know you guys are sick of the posts about Rihanna, but…the girl changes her look so often I have to <em>write</em> about her! I have to give it to her—she knows how to keep her look current. Personally, I love her with short hair, but not necessarily in this color. It’s also a little bulky on the sides and in the back. So overall it’s just…okay. I’m over the red. That’s the thing about changing your look so often, you try so many things that eventually you end up clueless what to do next. She’s been almost every color in the rainbow, what color should she try next? Are you guys digging the short hair? </p>
<p>Check out her performance at the CMA’s below!</p>

<p>I think it looks great. It really shows off her cheekbones, (one of her best features in my opinion). I know, I know, I’m a Weavy Wonder, but I’m all for whatever hairstyle looks best on you. I don’t know how long she plans on keeping this look, but I love that she gave up the weave for awhile, (Aack, I can’t believe I said that!) and is trying something new. All I have to say is—Go Janet!</p>
<p>What do you guys think, love it or hate it?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In case you guys haven’t heard, <a href="http://www.thisischrisettemichele.com/">Chrisette Michele</a> has cut her hair. Again.</p>
<p>When Chrisette first came on the music scene she wore a shoulder-length weave. (Don’t ask me how I know. I just <em>know</em>.)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.katrinaspencer.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/chrisettemichelle.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="chrisette-michelle" border="0" alt="chrisette-michelle" src="http://www.katrinaspencer.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/chrisettemichelle_thumb.jpg" width="221" height="333" /></a> </p>
<p>For her second album she started strutting her stuff in a much shorter ‘do.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.katrinaspencer.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/chrisette_michelle_main_g6.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="chrisette_michelle_main_g6" border="0" alt="chrisette_michelle_main_g6" src="http://www.katrinaspencer.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/chrisette_michelle_main_g6_thumb.jpg" width="240" height="361" /></a> </p>
<p>I wasn’t very fond of this cut on her. Not that I liked the weave style much either, it just seemed that neither hairstyle matched her style vocally. But now she has done it again. The BIG chop.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.katrinaspencer.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Chrisettemichelehair1.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="Chrisette-michele-hair1" border="0" alt="Chrisette-michele-hair1" src="http://www.katrinaspencer.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Chrisettemichelehair1_thumb.jpg" width="311" height="431" /></a></p>
<p>I LOVE her hair now. It really fits her, (I keep saying what fits her as if I know her personally. Old hairstylist habits die hard…) and now she stands out in a very crowded market of female performers. </p>
<p>Now, I will always will be a fan of weave. But I do realize that when I’m having an acne breakout, (Like right now. Hello bangs!) or when I don’t feel like wearing make-up, I swing my weave around to draw attention away from what’s really going on. When my hair was shorter I didn’t have that to lean on and I felt vulnerable. There was nothing to hide under, I was putting myself out there. In a lot of ways I grew up when I cut my hair. I learned to lean on me, and not use any physical thing to shield the true me. That experience helped me to realize that hair is just hair. It’s the secret person of the heart that truly matters.</p>
<p>Yes, I love my weave but after taking it out for a year I’m not dependent on it. As a hairstylist I’ve rocked many hairstyles, (blue highlights, spikes, crimped waves—trust me when I say I’ve done it all…) and now I’m growing my hair out and plan to rock a bob this summer.</p>
<p>When you cut your hair you are saying to the world, “This is me, <em>look at me</em>.” It puts the spotlight, not on your hair or your body, but your beautiful face. And with a face like this who wouldn’t want to rock their hair short?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mrs. Blige is the ultimate risk-taker when it comes to her hair. I love her for that. Nothing’s worse than looking at pictures of yourself and seeing the same hairstyle year after year.</p>
<p>Her look for the American Music Awards was timeless. Her short crop of blond hair fit her face well. (I think it’s a wig personally, but I digress…) </p>
<p>Do you agree with the adage that as a woman ages she needs to shorten her hair? Or do you think that hair length shouldn’t be dictated by age? I like Mary with the shorter ‘do, not because of her age, but because it jazzy, yet classic and shows off her expressive facial features.&#160; Let me know which look you prefer. Have a great weekend everyone!</p>
