The Tali
I was never a fan of Hannah Montana. But I’m not too proud to admit that I did wear out my dad’s cassette tape of Achy Breaky Heart. Judge me all you want, but that was my jam back in elementary school. Don’t act like you don’t remember the words, or the mullet or the PE days we were forced to line dance to it…
Fortunately for Billy Ray, his daughter has distracted from his notably bad hair choices. But I have a feeling that somewhere the ghost of Billy Ray’s mullet is all achy breaky over the spotlight-stealing Miley cut. It’s younger, thinner and isn’t tied down.
Carmen Crane working her wizardry. I’m only slightly terrified.
Love it or hate it, everyone is talking about it. Never one to shy away from trying new things, I decided to go under the razor and shave off most of my hair. Inspired by the Miley cut, I call mine the Tali cut. Because let’s be honest, redheads have the most fun.
You know you’ve found the right hair stylist when you make matching duck faces. Duck faces=success.
Short hair has never scared me. But having my hair shaved off, that was terrifying. Razors are loud, you guys. And sharp. And final. I mean what happens if you don’t like it? Keep shaving? Amanda Bynes it–wig style? Grab an umbrella, Britney style, and attack anyone with a camera? Good thing I trust Carmen Crane with my life. If you guys don’t know, Carmen Crane with J & Co. Salon is a hair wizard. (Look, I know boys are wizards and girls are witches, but I prefer the word wizard. Love you long time Harry Potter, but give us girls a break.)
Accio my point! (That’s wizard speak for summoning my point.) Once I got over the sensation of being sheared (and after a glass or two of wine), all my fears subsided. Carmen did her magic and created the Tali cut! And I must say, it’s the best haircut I’ve ever had.
The Tali. Like the Miley, but more feral.
Styling is super easy too, which is a huge bonus for my poodle-thick hair! All I have to do is blow dry my hair at the roots and tease in the desired direction. If I want to get fancy, I curl a few of the front strands for a more dramatic look. All that’s left is to apply some pomade (I prefer Woody’s because it’s water based and fun to say) and hairspray, and I’m all set!
Just be warned, if you decide to get the Miley or the Tali, you might kill a man. You know, cause they might blow up just looking in your direction…Oooooh woooh!
I can’t stop.
