this wasn't intentionally a j.j abrams homage post - it was just a sunny day, and so we got a whole lot of lens flare going on. try and ignore the flashes of light and focus on what's really important: the hair. i love my fringe as if it were a separate entity to myself, as if it has feelings and thoughts, and thus, i am very, very picky about people cutting it. the rest of my hair is relatively straightfoward; there's some long layers, something to try and fight the curl...but my fringe? that's when i get a little antsy in the hairdresser's chair. luckily, my stylist, tracey, gets me here. tracey (who works at the hair mecca that is HOB in camden) has been cutting my hair for a little while, and i just don't have to worry when i go in for a trim now. what really impressed me about tracey was that when she was chatting to me about how she was going to cut my hair, she mentioned how even my hairline would suit or not suit different styles. that's the mark of someone who truly, truly knows their stuff. the attention to detail you get at HOB is why i always feel compelled to go back. they know how your hair falls, they account for your lifestyle and how much time you have to style your hair, and tracey even once said to me "with a good haircut, you shouldn't need to do anything to your hair". none of the cliche "make sure you cleanse tone and moisturise your hair and wrap in a velvet towel and blow dry at exactly 73 degrees" (oh, i don't know, it's not like i work in beauty or anything...) and she's right. i don't have to do anything. wash, let it air dry, knock the kinks out of my fringe, and we're good to go. in the end, tracey did change my fringe ever so minutely, but it does sit so much better on my face for it. and i wouldn't have let anyone but tracey touch it.

Stunning pictures Daniela! I love how gorgeous you and your hair are. Umm, can we arrange a drinks night. We totally didn't get to catch up properly the other night.
i love your hair! i wish a good hair cut would just allow me to not do anything to it - i always have to put a product in my hair to keep my random waves from making my pixie cut look like i went to the beach and didn't brush my hair or something

It's gorgeous, I wish I suited a fringe like you. I love how it's not poker straight yet still looks full.

Your hair is lovely so you obviously are in good hands! I know exactly what you mean though, I am SUPER protective of mine!

The photos are beautiful, such nice lighting! I never used to be bothered about the hairdressers as my hairs kinda a scruffy, messy style anyway. About a year ago though, one got a little scissor happy & chopped all of my long layers upto about eye-level, I looked like a mushroom! It was dreadful! Since then I've been growing them out & have been super protective over it, only getting cut when I absolutely HAVE to! I wish I lived in London, as this Tracey sounds amazing!
so pretty! =) gorgeous...

Such lovely photos, and your fringe is perfect, Dannie! I've gone through some fringe phases, but in the end decided I cannot face another growing it out time again (oh, the bloody hairpins!). xoxo

Beautiful photos, gorgeous face, amazing hair. Jealous.com! I'm exactly the same with my fringe, I've been to so many not so great hair dressers in the pat and when I found a hairdresser who knew what I wanted and did it exactly how I wanted too I refuse to go elsewhere for a hair cut! Once a lady cut my fringe outside, in the wind. Disaster hair cut!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment :D it wasn't a weird comment, it made me smile hehe :)
you look lovely missus!

You look stunning! I am very fussy with my hair. I only let one hairdresser touch it for all the same reasons you mentioned.
