Grammy Hair Look: Adele's Honey Blonde Long Bob


Adele emerged as the belle of the ball at the Grammy Awards last Sunday. The 23-year-old British soul singer went six-for-six in a clean sweep, including trophy take-homes in the top three categories: Album, Record and Song of the Year.

The cockney crooner looked stunning in a black Alexander McQueen long-sleeved gown. Her hair also hit a high note. She traded in her usual '60s backcombed bouffant for a bouncy, lighter-than-usual honey blonde long bob. The look worked well with her flawless complexion, and pinup-inspired red lips and extra long lashes.

Fresh Fall Look: Pixie Hair

Lake Arrowhead, California: November 1, 2011

This is my favorite time of the year--the period between Halloween and Thanksgiving. The leaves start showing their true colors and temperatures begin cooling down. It's an invigorating reminder that the holidays will soon be here.

Change is in the air. So it usually gets me thinking about turning a new leaf in my own life, such as getting a new hairstyle. My long tresses currently fall well below my bra line, but I'm seriously considering a radically different look--a pixie 'do.

Several celebrities and supermodels have rocked super short locks at one point or another in their careers. Here are a few faves: 

Agyness Deyn

Mia Wasikowska

Tilda Swinton

Nia Long

Known for its versatility, the pixie hairstyle adapts well to any personality. It can be perky (tousled with spunky fringes), practical (simple yet sophisticated) or playful (light ends with dark roots). To maintain the look, you need the right shampoos, conditioners, styling creams, hair sprays and tools. Check out the following products, and let us know if you have a new fall 'do.
