haircut 1971


okay, again i must beg everyone's patience. i don't have enough picksh to continue with my countdown, but i'm still trying to skate forward, unafraid, and post whatever i've got day by day. so, speaking for myself, i've always gotten a kick out of reading through the old magazines and big, thick hardcover books they have available for you to flip through in salons whilst waiting for your turn. some of the styles are just outright sucky. some look real dated, some are just plain unflattering, and some look alright in the book, but would be a virtual impossibility to create on your own after you get it home and wash it. this cut falls into the last category. actually, i like this hair. i like the length and the dark silky curls and the way the straight bits on top frame her face. but you guys know as well as i do, that this style almost doesn't exist in real life. first of all, you'd have to walk around with your eyes closed and your head tilted to the side in order to 'make it work,' and maintain the illusion. but i think like, if i was only going to sit still for 30 seconds and have my picture taken, i think i could pull it off.
