There’s less than one month to go until hair salons will potentially be allowed to reopen in England and that means one thing—it’s time to start deciding exactly what kind of hair transformation I’ll be asking my hairdresser for once I’m finally reunited with a salon chair. After just one professional cut in 2020, and a couple of mishaps with my kitchen scissors, I’m ready for a hair refresh but I’m torn between opting for a low-maintenance style or something more striking that might require a little more upkeep.
Either way, I know I’m not alone in feeling more than ready to hear the gentle snip-snip of a hairdresser’s scissors. In fact, there’s one celeb that frankly couldn’t wait a moment longer and took to Instagram last month to show off her newly-chopped locks: Alexa Chung. Yes, everyone’s mid-noughties hair inspiration went “back to the start” and embraced a return to her iconic, choppy, chin-length bob, courtesy of hair stylist George Northwood. Turns out, the haircut was actually in aid of a cover shoot for Stella Magazine but seeing Chung’s signature bob got me thinking….Alexa has had some seriously great hairstyles.
Sure, her hair journey might not be the most dramatic—her length tends to drift from chin to shoulder and the colour only ever subtly shifts from chestnut to chocolate—but her hair always looks good.
