Sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!
@Kristopher Charles i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Oh my goodness, yes! I see so many women who have no idea how to pick a good silhouette for their body type and end up looking like cupcakes on their wedding day. I don't want to be one of them!
So happy to see images of older women in this video! I am 55 and care very much about style and love seeing good examples in photos. Videos on the body types, or general advice, for older women would be amazing! Thank you for all you do Aly; I've learned so much. 💗
I had a short bob cut in january. I liked how it looked, but for me the haitstyle was too inconvenient. So I am growing it back to armpit-length, as I had it before. I have now reached the infamous shoulder-length stage ,where the hair curls outwards and makes you look like a housewife in the 70s :D
SAME, and it’s driving me nuts! Ugggh! I also am growing out side-swept bangs. I want all one length again. The struggle is real hahaha. Fortunately, I telecommute, so I can wear my hair in a scrunchie until it grows.
The bob for people that need volume on top of their head. You said you would do a video on that. I would love to see it. I would love to see how to cut that.
You're so right about parting your hair on the heavier side. One of my eyes is more hooded than the other and I used to part my hair over the bigger eye to hide the other, but it made things even worse. Now I part it over the smaller side and my face looks much healthier.
This video helped me so much in choosing my hairstyle. I donate about 18 inches every 2-3 years and right now my hair is above my hips and ready to get cut. I want the shoulder length bob. You're so thorough and knowledgeable. Thanks!😘
I got my long hair cut into a longbob a couple of months ago...couldn’t be happier. I did get an undercut though...my tip for women who struggle with really thick, somewhat unruly hair. Having a couple cm in the neck removed makes my hair lay nice and flat in the back, even if I don’t have time to flat iron it. And when I do use the flat iron, it’s much less work without having to fiddle around with shorter strands. And it’s completely unnoticeable when I wear my hair open. It’s visible when I tie my hair back, of course, but I only do that to wash and in the gym now. It’s so much nicer and easier to care for than long hair, imo.
mellowyellow Hey, best bring a picture! Just google 'bob with undercut' there a different versions, some more extreme than others. Kinda depends on your hairtype, too. Although by now, a decent hairdresser should be familiar with the concept, it's become quite popular lately. A lot of people seem to wear it as a fashion statement, rather than convenience.
I agree! I got an undercut almost 3 years ago and I've still got it. It's the best thing I've ever done for my hair, which is super thick, frizzy and generally an untameable mess. As you said, it's invisible with your hair down, but it looks really cool with your hair up too.
This also helps with headaches. I used to get headaches all the time but having short hair that's shaved in the back made a world of difference considering I never realized the two thing were related.
That 80's photo is hilarious! Literally a photo of the same hair style...& you know that was completely unintentional! It was just the 80's go-to! I was going to say a bob is probably the most universal hairstyle too- so many variations to choose from. There's something for everybody! My problem is that I love my hair super short but also in a bob, just above my shoulders (my hair does NOT look good past my shoulders. It just isn't flattering on me). I can't decide on one! I cut my hair short & I love it but it requires a lot of salon upkeep & eventually I get sick of the constant trips to the hairdresser (not to mention how hard it is to find someone who is truly good at cutting short hair), so I grow it out. After months of painstaking grow out & horrible "grow-out hairstyles" I finally get it to the length I want but it's soooo hard to look after after the ease of short hair! Washing & styling is a longer, harder process. Plus it's sooo hot in summer! I couldn't handle suddenly having all this hot, heavy hair on my neck! So I eventually get sick of it & cut it short again! Then I get annoyed at myself for wasting all of the time it took to grow out. I keep it short but quickly remember all of the annoying issues of short hair & eventually start to grow it again...& so goes the endless cycle! I've been doing this for years! I wish I could settle on one & stick to it for a couple of years at least!🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Have you thought about getting someone you trust like a friend or family to help cut your hair? The back always gets me but I try to cut as much as I can to my liking
I'm struggling with this exact thing right now! I hate it below my shoulders but it grows so quickly and touches my neck and tickles me. I came out of my last haircut looking like Bieber so now I'm doing the annoying grow-out.
I feel you on this! Only maybe i'm worse lol - i like only super long or a bob, not a long bob but rather just above, below, or to the chin. Every other length i hate (for myself). And my face is long so i should stay with short but my personality suits very long, or rather is divided strongly between loving short and punky and loong and wild. Frustrating haha! So much time spent with the in between lengths i don't enjoy!
I got my hair cut this exact length a couple days ago (middle of the neck) when I donated 12 inches! I have really thick hair, so I was super worried about having triangle hair, but after watching your video, I'm going to wait it out and see how my hair decides to sit after getting used to the cut. As always, very informative video that makes me feel beautiful!
You have an excellent point. At the end of the day, being raised on Disney princess movies and now being a Game of Thrones fan, I just love my long hair! I am a theatrical romantic with 3A curls that still keep their volume at belly button length, so I think it works. :) I also sometimes think my head looks small (I guess I'm used to other petite girls being gamines), so, I tend to like more hair to even out the proportions in my mind.
Aly I completely agree. You are such an amazing guru. Just because of you my style went up notches because of you. I’ve gotten more jobs even! I really loved your video of how NOT to look like a pornstar. That was a little bit of my problem. Just by changing little things made A HUGE difference!! I love you Aly And THANK YOU❤️🙏🏻💋
Aly - I just wanted to thank you. For years, I’ve really struggled with self esteem, and I’ve been watching some of your videos in quarantine. You’ve made me feel like I’m finally having a breakthrough! Thank you for these interesting, informative and kind videos; I think you’re making so many women realise their beauty! :) x
Good video, thanks! I have been wearing an A line bob for 8 years and I am very happy with my bob haircut. I think that a bob haircut brings out the facial features better, a very feminine hairstyle and very diverse!
Yay! the long bob is my go too - I agree it looks great on everyone (including me). Just wanted to say I really appreciate how you show pictures of the styles with lots of different types of women, older, younger, different nationalities. You have a very inclusive approach and I love it
You are so right. I have wavy thick hair. Always having my hair thinned has caused me to stop going to the hairdresser. I trim my own hair for 4 yrs now. A nice blunt cut looks amazing on thick wavy hair. Hairdressers should stop taking the weight away from thick. hair.
You are truly gifted Alyona!! Natural feel for art whether it's music or beauty! I sincerely wish you all of your dreams to come true and for you to be known by many more. Thank you for sharing your gifts.
I was straightening my slanted bob for years. Then after three neck surgeries, I can’t use my arms so well. I let it grow to my shoulders and let my 3a/b curls be free. I love it, and it’s so easy with the right products.
My hair has always been so long and when I was thinner it looked flattering but as my body grew wider and curvier the hair was just dragging my face down. I appeared bottom heavy and brought the attention to my lower half. In a transformation phase I went for a long bob and oh my god! Love it! It balances my lower curvy pear shape and I feel so much stylish even on my least stylish days. Thank you for this informative video even though I did the cut before the video. After I cut it I got so many compliments.
i still love that amazing bob cut on geri halliwell when she did "Its raining man" video.. it instantly made her look younger of 10 years, she looked so great..
I was always self-conscious that my face was asymmetrical and even though other people wouldn't always notice, it was always something I would see -- my chin and cheek area are slightly heavier on one side. Because of this, I parted my hair so that more hair would cover that part of my face, so I thought that by eliminating some of the weight on this side that I was balancing my face; however, I just tried parting it on the other side with your recommendation and it looks so much better. I always thought something was wrong but I couldn't put my finger on it -- Thank You for helping me!
The more of your videos I watch, the more I can appreciate how good you are. You see beauty in everything and you make us see it too. Thank you for your amazing work
Kinky hair was missing, but that's okay because there is a whole universe of videos on RUclips for natural hair! Thanks for the upload! Excited or the bangs video, I have a high forehead and think bangs look so nice on me, but I can't figure out which length looks best because I have an oval face, theatrical romantic, and 5'3. . .
Brie maybe one day when she spends some time outside of Russia, I don’t think there are many black people in Russia so she probably can’t give an opinion
Luna sea She talks about curly hair, but not kinky hair. A large majority of Black people have kinkier hair with more indistinguishable curl patterns. But that's okay! I understand her setting and that she means well. It was a good video, but I think the bangs video will be more helpful to me personally lol
8:15 "dog ears" ahah I love the image. and you should have put a few seconds of the song "blowing in the wind" by bob dylan.. not related, but funny. great video
Eloïse Angelina haha! Yes, & it's true! Over the years I've had different variations of a concave bob (shorter at the neck & angled longer to a point toward the front- I have one in my profile pic) but one I had years ago did exactly this! It was too thin/light at the front so when I walked down the street my hair kind of flapped like dog ears or something! I felt like when a dog hangs its head out of a car window!
Eloïse Angelina 😂haha! Exactly, it looked great while I was standing still! I wish some hairdressers would put a bit more thought into how a hairstyle will wear out in the real world. Most stylists since have & have kept the front heavier so that it sits better when I walk/hang my head out a window! Lol!
Just as a bit of feedback: I cut my hair into a bob a few months ago after watching this video and have now grown it out into a long bob. My body type is Soft Natural. To be completely honest, I can't wait till I have grown it all back! I think it looks great on other people, but for me, even with it being elongated around the face, I just feel it is not feminine enough for my body type and makes me feel bulkier and masculine. I believe Kibbe says that this body type is better with a medium-long flowing hairstyle and at least from my experience I must say I agree with him. I would be interested in hearing other people's experiences
I wish i had big voluminous hair! mine is very straight and pretty thin, i have worn it in a long bob (no layers, no bangs, side part) since 3 years and people always tell me it‘s the best hairstyle i‘ve had
I am a dramatic type and I like my hair very short. It lets me look younger and fresher. I also like to show my face fully since I am wearing glasses. Long hair looks "ungroomed" on me
I love bobs but I find with my thinning hair in the bang area it's not as attractive because that part that is suppose to frame my face is never growing out to a length that will frame my face
Once again everything is so clear now that you've explained it! I always wondered why I just naturally want to part my hair to the left-- it's because my face is very asymmetrical and parting to the left is so much more flattering! Thank you!! ❤️
I had my hair cut into a bob when I was younger and loved it. About five years ago or so I cut my longish hair into a bob and...didn't love it. I looked very plain with it and mumsy I guess. right now it's down to my bra strap and cut into layers and I really like it like this. I would do a bob again though...maybe a different kind.
I got this haircut last week :) I really like it but I probably got the layering wrong... the volume I get in the back is crazy. It's a really versatile haircut, but, in my opinion, it requires at least some styling everyday to look pretty (and I, as a lazy long straight haired person, am not used to give this kind of attention to my hair)
I agree about parting your hair. I have a pixie cut and part it so the fringe is brushed toward my less hooded eye. I think it emphasises my more hooded eye and I find hooded eyes kinda are sexy.
please make a video about bangs! i have and love my straight across bangs and i’m bored of my long hair and haven’t had very short hair since i was very little but really want to cut it. Advice is needed!
I agree However, I really think it looks disproportionate on me because I'm tall and curvy with a kind of long face and thin volume-less hair texture that looks so flat and not thick, it's long right now. I can just imagine feeling unfeminine with this hairstyle. Like if you are a woman with thick hair or volume I say go for it but it takes the right Hair Texture. I have very classic Scandinavian thin hair and there's no use trying to make it look thick and curly because it would not last though the day. I need to give the same advice to you who are tall, have a long face and have my hair texture. Cutting your hair will just make you look older! ((experience))
Monica Mcpherson I've had this haircut and it looks weird on me because I have a long neck due to my height 😏 I do always cut my hair in blunt cuts to make it look thicker though !
I understand, but i don't see how you can say you don't like how bobs looks on yourself but then have it in your profile picture, aka a picture were you think you're looking you're best. Sorry, just a little bit confused lol
IfYouMeetAWolf my hair is actually longer than it looks in the picture! This was the first time I was growing out a bob and a few years later I stupidly did it again! It's not that I don't suit a bob, it's way more hassle to style than long hair 😂😂😂
This came at the perfect time, thank you. I need to cut my hair since I ruined it by not brushing it for over a month, and it got all tangled up, and now it's all thin and damaged from the war I waged to get the knots out. I was thinking about this haircut just today in the bathroom and I think I'm gonna go for it, thanks for explaining the details of it.
I have been growing my hair for years to donate, but Im so excited to see this video because you explain how I feel about my hair being long. I feel like it makes me look tired, it lost it’s waves and since im petite it emphasizes my small height. Long hair can make me feel confident if I style it, but using heat isnt the simplicity solution.
I used to cut my hair into a pixie but i let it grow a few months ago, i felt like it accentuated the roundness in my face. It's interesting how many types of a bob exist. My hair is side parted and straight, i have a kind of bob shorter in the front and longer in the back. I want to cut it into a straight bob, but i used to have one and the "dog ears" effect is the reason i'm not sure if i should go for that straight bob. We'll see. Thank you so much for this video, came just in time. 💕
I have really high speed internet in my phone, but still its so difficult to watch your video without buffering...so many people might be watching this video at same time ! 😅 Il try this tip of haircut Aly. Thankyou for sharing your opinions with us. Love you❤
You just confirmed my idea of cutting my hair this style. I did cut it a few months ago, but I leaved it too long, and it has already grown too, so it's just too long now. I will try to cut it again, and I'm going to tell how it went!
Oooh, I have been toying with the idea of getting a bob. I have had long hair ( below the shoulder to just below the shoulder blades) for the past 15 years. But as I am now in my mid forties and approaching my fifties, I don't know if long hair suits me anymore. Your ideas are so useful. I think I might go for the bob! 💕😉
Can you do a brow shapes for face shapes or body shapes videos? Not only shapes, but also the distance from the eyes etc. Brows are so confusing to me because you can make it any shape you want and after trying a few I'm not really sure what is flattering anymore!
I had long hair and two years ago i cut it into a bob... last year i decided i want a pixie cut. I liked it but i hate the fact that the hairstylist didnt really make it as i wanted. It looked nice but not that great. Now i am waiting for my hair to grow back. I loved it how it looked when it was a bob. Probably the best hair length for my head/body.
I have a very small and angular face with a very pointy chin. 6 years ago I had my hair cut right to the chin and I've never regretted more a hair decision lol. I know a lot of people say short hair is easier to deal with, but in my case it's exactly the opposite. Having natural straight long hair gives me a world of possibilities, while short hair was a pain in the ass to straighten, curl, color and dry. Next time I get a really drastic haircut it will be a really boy-ish one.
I've had a bob almost my whole life. Not knocking it. But as soon as I grow out my pixie short hair, I'm going to face framing layered shoulder length hair. Something I can pull into a cute pony tail.
Highlighting or balayage is not recommended for curly hair. Straight hair and somewhat wavy hair has a mostly flat surface and so light can bounce off it. The darker and more one dimensional, the more shiny hair is. Curly hair has multiple dimensions and therefore absorbs light. If you have lighter colored curly hair, level six or higher, highlighting or balayage can make it look just awful. I have typical white girl natural curls (like a ginger version of Taylor Swift or Debra Messing’s hair when they wear it naturally curly, for reference. I’m getting some white hair around the front of my face and it makes me look really washed out. I asked my hairdresser about maybe highlighting a few streaks or creating just one white streak in the front to incorporate things, and she said that trying to add more highlights would look even worse. You see, because it’s adding more lightness so there is less possibility or light to bounce off it. If I try to color it over in red, it will look cheap, Pretty much no matter what day you use. After age 40, really bright bright red copper hair is not natural and fantasy colors like burgundy and primary red can go bad very quickly. We’ve all seen the women who have the super bright red hair that they’ve died when they are 70 and it looks really jarring. The only things I have found that are subtle enough for my type of hair are refreshing glosses that are just a hint of color like the Madison Reed or Redkenntype. Even those need to be diluted at a ratio o 1 to 3 of argan or jojoba oil and the gloss so things don’t work harsh. Another option, is color preserving shampoo. Copper can be tricky and so I recommend one in Strawberry blonde, dark blonde that is golden, or Rosegold. You can even mix them if you like. Rose gold adds a bit of red without looking purple or weird if you get a good one. Only shampoo with it twice a week and leave it on for a few minutes to keep a subtle pretty look. Similarly, you can mix glosses together to lighten them up a little bit. So maybe you get a copper gloss that is way too harsh. Get a honey blonde or clear gloss , using a rose gold shampoo brings back a little bit of the color without looking weird. Anything with heavier color looks weird, heavy, and tacky. We all want to look elegant and sophisticated. So, I hope that tip can help somebody with lighter colored curls .
though seeing this way later, it's nice to see im doing my hair right. always had a lot of hair, nearly straight, and i'd recently did a bob. to my surprise, it framed my face perfectly. thx for making videos like these!
You're brilliant! I have thick, wavy hair and have gone from a buzz-cut to waist long. I guess I'm too lazy to do much styling so if it's short, no problem. It its long, ponytail. If it's in between, I fuss and fuss and am never happy. However, I always get the most compliments when it is shoulder length.
My body type is closest to Romantic or TR and I have pin straight Asian hair that never hold curls even if I set it or get a perm. I've been told that I look more mature with waist length hair and my mom 'accidentally' cut it up to my shoulders, I got so sad because my hair was so healthy but I noticed when I curled my hair like Old Hollywood hair and makeup for prom I looked youthful. I think shorter and bodied hair makes full features like mine stand out too!
I would like you to talk about hair colors. Highlights, lowlights, when to darken or lighten parts. I’m white in the front (I’m a senior) but brown in back. I’m interested in giving the appearance on contouring the hair while staying as natural as possible.
What would help to make my jaw more defined? Mine is almost unexistent, my neck isn't very long and I have full cheeks :( i'd like my profile to look more sofisticated and femenine
Just remember that having defined, sculpted look is really modern standard of beauty. Hundred years ago soft features were the ones deemed feminine and sophisticated. That being said, if I just do some subtle countouring and sport a long bob with soft layers, usually a bit wavy.
Ximena CC Why would you want a defined jaw? I have a square super defined jaw and I hate it, I feel like it makes me look too masculine and I can't really wear feminine hairstyles. Most female celebs with defined jawlines (Brooke Shields, Keira Knightley etc) get called transgender and I myself have been called that. Please embrace what you have, you are very lucky to have a youthful feminine face. Besides scientific research has shown fuller faces with smaller/softer jawlines are more attractive. But if you really really want to make your face more defined try facial massages and losing weight.

Hi aly, you inspired me to cut my hair short so yesterday I cut it into a lob (long bob). I’m so glad I took the risk because I love it, but do you have any tips for hair that doesn’t hold curl longer than 10 minutes
I LOVE IT SO MUCH! I cannot wait for the bangs video, because I don't know it they fit me well since my face is long and my nose is kinda big and has a bump on it... The longest part of my face is the middle one, so I wanted to know if I do fit bangs! I'M WAITING SINCE NOW 😍😍😍😍😍
As a hair stylist I completely agree that the extreme a-line was just useless... hated cutting it, it never lays right and clients would get frustrated trying to style it and it would pull the face down
Over ten years ago I had my long, curly blonde hair cut to a bob and I loved it. I wore it like this for more than 9 years, sometimes shorter (chinlength), sometimes longer (shoulderlength). But as I gained some weight and got older I didn´t like it quite as much on me. On most women I feel shorter is better. For me short cuts make a woman more interesting in most cases. I love pixiecuts for example. However for me a bob doesn´t do it anymore. A long bob suits me more and I feel more feminin with this cut now.
I had a bob haircut when I was young it made me look old and frumpy. I had long hair till I was about 40 and ever since then I have a longer pixie makes me look way younger than my 57 years.
beautyjunkie I hear ya. The Bob is versatile but to be honest on most women past 30 it just looks like the dreaded "mom hair". Sensible and easy to care for. No thanks!
A year ago I got my hair cut short and as I loved it I got it cut again in October (like an inch shorter than yours) and, again, I LOVED it!! But right now it is right over my shoulders and I can't deal with it, girl 😩 I'm so tempted to get it cut once more but as I have never had really long hair (and I wanna try it) I'm hanging in there. It's tough!!
Yes! I would really love a video about bangs😍 I am a soft classic so I don't feel good when my hair has got to sharp and obvious shape, I prefer them more natural and "efortless". But I always cut my own bangs, very thin and not really symetrical, something like Dakota Johnson has, or those korean actresses with very see through bangs. And I still can't decide if that looks good or not, and it takes some time to style it.

@Kristopher Charles i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Kristopher Charles It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account :D
I wish you were my hairdresser lol it’s nearly impossible to find someone who understands curly-wavy and frizzy hair
Yesss 😭
Have you tried the Curly Girl Method? It could help you 🙂
Zae Tin Go to naturallycurly.com and look up their salon recommendations. I’ve found this site to be a lifesaver.
Yes, and add very fine hair to that mix!
Is important how long of neck to cut short hair??
Hi Aly! Im getting married next year and I would love a video about wedding/party dresses for body types.
yes yes yes :-D
Yes please
Oh my goodness, yes! I see so many women who have no idea how to pick a good silhouette for their body type and end up looking like cupcakes on their wedding day. I don't want to be one of them!
Yes!! I'd love to see it! Prom/ party dresses and wedding ones!
This is such a great Idea
I cut my hair into a long bob immediately after watching this. I look so much better! It really is a sophisticated look. Thanks for this!
You r so lucky. I aint even allowed to cut my hair short
Hey Hamna. I'm sorry that you don't get to decide your hair for yourself. That doesn't sound very nice...
sanne p she’s probably 12 and her moms not taking her to the hairdresser

Hamna Shafqat you are still young a teenager
I love that you tried to touch on Afros too brava my dear brava 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yeah, she always considers everybody! I love it
:))
So happy to see images of older women in this video! I am 55 and care very much about style and love seeing good examples in photos. Videos on the body types, or general advice, for older women would be amazing! Thank you for all you do Aly; I've learned so much. 💗
Wow thank you for adding afro-textured hair into your video💁🏾 i was nervous that wouldn't
RizzyBone me to but I’d understand if she didn’t
😍
I had a short bob cut in january. I liked how it looked, but for me the haitstyle was too inconvenient. So I am growing it back to armpit-length, as I had it before. I have now reached the infamous shoulder-length stage ,where the hair curls outwards and makes you look like a housewife in the 70s :D
Nevermind Nevermind SAME😂♥️
Same hahaha
Same, I don't like it >.< at alll.....
What's wrong with that? I don't mind a little flip. It is retro! LOL! See 3:06
SAME, and it’s driving me nuts! Ugggh! I also am growing out side-swept bangs. I want all one length again. The struggle is real hahaha.
Fortunately, I telecommute, so I can wear my hair in a scrunchie until it grows.
Aly, you made me love myself. I absolutely adore how you keep emphasizing to not hide our faces.
I love how you are expanding your beauty tips to all ethnic groups.
The bob for people that need volume on top of their head. You said you would do a video on that. I would love to see it. I would love to see how to cut that.
Marla Robinson Yes! Please make this video. 🙏
Marla Robinson was caught off guard by your profile picture! you are very beautiful♥️
Yes yes yes ! Volume on top helllo!
You look great!🌞👏
You're so right about parting your hair on the heavier side. One of my eyes is more hooded than the other and I used to part my hair over the bigger eye to hide the other, but it made things even worse. Now I part it over the smaller side and my face looks much healthier.
This video helped me so much in choosing my hairstyle. I donate about 18 inches every 2-3 years and right now my hair is above my hips and ready to get cut. I want the shoulder length bob.
You're so thorough and knowledgeable. Thanks!😘
I got my long hair cut into a longbob a couple of months ago...couldn’t be happier. I did get an undercut though...my tip for women who struggle with really thick, somewhat unruly hair. Having a couple cm in the neck removed makes my hair lay nice and flat in the back, even if I don’t have time to flat iron it. And when I do use the flat iron, it’s much less work without having to fiddle around with shorter strands. And it’s completely unnoticeable when I wear my hair open. It’s visible when I tie my hair back, of course, but I only do that to wash and in the gym now. It’s so much nicer and easier to care for than long hair, imo.
This is great advice! What do you tell the hairdresser though?
mellowyellow
Hey, best bring a picture!
Just google 'bob with undercut' there a different versions, some more extreme than others. Kinda depends on your hairtype, too.
Although by now, a decent hairdresser should be familiar with the concept, it's become quite popular lately. A lot of people seem to wear it as a fashion statement, rather than convenience.
I agree! I got an undercut almost 3 years ago and I've still got it. It's the best thing I've ever done for my hair, which is super thick, frizzy and generally an untameable mess. As you said, it's invisible with your hair down, but it looks really cool with your hair up too.
This also helps with headaches. I used to get headaches all the time but having short hair that's shaved in the back made a world of difference considering I never realized the two thing were related.
That 80's photo is hilarious! Literally a photo of the same hair style...& you know that was completely unintentional! It was just the 80's go-to!
I was going to say a bob is probably the most universal hairstyle too- so many variations to choose from. There's something for everybody!
My problem is that I love my hair super short but also in a bob, just above my shoulders (my hair does NOT look good past my shoulders. It just isn't flattering on me). I can't decide on one! I cut my hair short & I love it but it requires a lot of salon upkeep & eventually I get sick of the constant trips to the hairdresser (not to mention how hard it is to find someone who is truly good at cutting short hair), so I grow it out. After months of painstaking grow out & horrible "grow-out hairstyles" I finally get it to the length I want but it's soooo hard to look after after the ease of short hair! Washing & styling is a longer, harder process. Plus it's sooo hot in summer! I couldn't handle suddenly having all this hot, heavy hair on my neck! So I eventually get sick of it & cut it short again! Then I get annoyed at myself for wasting all of the time it took to grow out. I keep it short but quickly remember all of the annoying issues of short hair & eventually start to grow it again...& so goes the endless cycle! I've been doing this for years! I wish I could settle on one & stick to it for a couple of years at least!🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Have you thought about getting someone you trust like a friend or family to help cut your hair? The back always gets me but I try to cut as much as I can to my liking
I'm struggling with this exact thing right now! I hate it below my shoulders but it grows so quickly and touches my neck and tickles me. I came out of my last haircut looking like Bieber so now I'm doing the annoying grow-out.
I feel you on this! Only maybe i'm worse lol - i like only super long or a bob, not a long bob but rather just above, below, or to the chin. Every other length i hate (for myself). And my face is long so i should stay with short but my personality suits very long, or rather is divided strongly between loving short and punky and loong and wild. Frustrating haha! So much time spent with the in between lengths i don't enjoy!
I got my hair cut this exact length a couple days ago (middle of the neck) when I donated 12 inches! I have really thick hair, so I was super worried about having triangle hair, but after watching your video, I'm going to wait it out and see how my hair decides to sit after getting used to the cut. As always, very informative video that makes me feel beautiful!
You have an excellent point.
At the end of the day, being raised on Disney princess movies and now being a Game of Thrones fan, I just love my long hair!
I am a theatrical romantic with 3A curls that still keep their volume at belly button length, so I think it works. :) I also sometimes think my head looks small (I guess I'm used to other petite girls being gamines), so, I tend to like more hair to even out the proportions in my mind.
Could you do a swimsuits for the body types video? I know overall there aren’t that many types of swimsuits, but I think it would still be helpful!!
Aly
I completely agree. You are such an amazing guru. Just because of you my style went up notches because of you. I’ve gotten more jobs even! I really loved your video of how NOT to look like a pornstar. That was a little bit of my problem. Just by changing little things made A HUGE difference!!
I love you Aly
And THANK YOU❤️🙏🏻💋
Can you link me that video or tell me the name?
@@FlorenciaVM1 It's the "How to look classy" video on Aly's channel
@@jliA7 thank you!!
Wow I didn't know the front line that goes along the face is so important, but it makes sense. There's something to learn every time. Very cool!
Having curly hair is amazing when you get a nice routine down i feel like we can do the most with our curls or kinky hair length and shape
Aly - I just wanted to thank you. For years, I’ve really struggled with self esteem, and I’ve been watching some of your videos in quarantine. You’ve made me feel like I’m finally having a breakthrough! Thank you for these interesting, informative and kind videos; I think you’re making so many women realise their beauty! :) x
Please do a video on jewelry for the body types
I think she did cover that a bit in one of those related with body types and accessories
She covered that in an undertones video I think
Good video, thanks!
I have been wearing an A line bob for 8 years and I am very happy with my bob haircut. I think that a bob haircut brings out the facial features better, a very feminine hairstyle and very diverse!
Sharon Sullivan here and you are the best on utube. You explain things very well.
i can’t even say how grateful i am for your videoooos
Yay! the long bob is my go too - I agree it looks great on everyone (including me). Just wanted to say I really appreciate how you show pictures of the styles with lots of different types of women, older, younger, different nationalities. You have a very inclusive approach and I love it
You are so right. I have wavy thick hair. Always having my hair thinned has caused me to stop going to the hairdresser. I trim my own hair for 4 yrs now. A nice blunt cut looks amazing on thick wavy hair. Hairdressers should stop taking the weight away from thick. hair.
You are truly gifted Alyona!! Natural feel for art whether it's music or beauty! I sincerely wish you all of your dreams to come true and for you to be known by many more. Thank you for sharing your gifts.
Long bob is absolutely my favorite haircut. I've had it for a long time and will probably get back to it.
I was straightening my slanted bob for years. Then after three neck surgeries, I can’t use my arms so well. I let it grow to my shoulders and let my 3a/b curls be free. I love it, and it’s so easy with the right products.
My hair has always been so long and when I was thinner it looked flattering but as my body grew wider and curvier the hair was just dragging my face down. I appeared bottom heavy and brought the attention to my lower half. In a transformation phase I went for a long bob and oh my god! Love it! It balances my lower curvy pear shape and I feel so much stylish even on my least stylish days. Thank you for this informative video even though I did the cut before the video. After I cut it I got so many compliments.
I recently cut my hair in a Pixie. I feel much better than with long hair 🙂
You’re literally the only beauty youtuber I watch.
Been growing my hair for years and after watching this im feeling like impulsively giving myself a bob
i still love that amazing bob cut on geri halliwell when she did "Its raining man" video.. it instantly made her look younger of 10 years, she looked so great..
I just really enjoy her view point, as she is always on point and she does not exclude any of us.
Thank you for that my sister.
I was always self-conscious that my face was asymmetrical and even though other people wouldn't always notice, it was always something I would see -- my chin and cheek area are slightly heavier on one side. Because of this, I parted my hair so that more hair would cover that part of my face, so I thought that by eliminating some of the weight on this side that I was balancing my face; however, I just tried parting it on the other side with your recommendation and it looks so much better. I always thought something was wrong but I couldn't put my finger on it -- Thank You for helping me!
The more of your videos I watch, the more I can appreciate how good you are. You see beauty in everything and you make us see it too. Thank you for your amazing work
Bangs video PLEASE!!! And thank you.
Kinky hair was missing, but that's okay because there is a whole universe of videos on RUclips for natural hair! Thanks for the upload! Excited or the bangs video, I have a high forehead and think bangs look so nice on me, but I can't figure out which length looks best because I have an oval face, theatrical romantic, and 5'3. . .
Brie maybe one day when she spends some time outside of Russia, I don’t think there are many black people in Russia so she probably can’t give an opinion
check on 11:00 min she did talk about afro hairs
Luna sea She talks about curly hair, but not kinky hair. A large majority of Black people have kinkier hair with more indistinguishable curl patterns. But that's okay! I understand her setting and that she means well. It was a good video, but I think the bangs video will be more helpful to me personally lol
Julia Arnold Totally true, and its not an issue because that info is readily accessible on RUclips
Brie ok, now I understand what you meant by kinky hair :) thanks for explaining
8:15 "dog ears" ahah I love the image. and you should have put a few seconds of the song "blowing in the wind" by bob dylan.. not related, but funny. great video
Eloïse Angelina haha! Yes, & it's true! Over the years I've had different variations of a concave bob (shorter at the neck & angled longer to a point toward the front- I have one in my profile pic) but one I had years ago did exactly this! It was too thin/light at the front so when I walked down the street my hair kind of flapped like dog ears or something! I felt like when a dog hangs its head out of a car window!
ahaha and did you stick your tongue out to feel the wind as well?
kidding but seriously, these hair cuts can be really sexy, it's all about measure
Eloïse Angelina 😂haha! Exactly, it looked great while I was standing still! I wish some hairdressers would put a bit more thought into how a hairstyle will wear out in the real world. Most stylists since have & have kept the front heavier so that it sits better when I walk/hang my head out a window! Lol!
MrsBungle78 yess right? life is not like in magasines lol, who would have thought? 😂
Just as a bit of feedback: I cut my hair into a bob a few months ago after watching this video and have now grown it out into a long bob. My body type is Soft Natural. To be completely honest, I can't wait till I have grown it all back! I think it looks great on other people, but for me, even with it being elongated around the face, I just feel it is not feminine enough for my body type and makes me feel bulkier and masculine. I believe Kibbe says that this body type is better with a medium-long flowing hairstyle and at least from my experience I must say I agree with him. I would be interested in hearing other people's experiences
I wish i had big voluminous hair! mine is very straight and pretty thin, i have worn it in a long bob (no layers, no bangs, side part) since 3 years and people always tell me it‘s the best hairstyle i‘ve had
I agree, it does look nice.
I prefer long hair myself.
Holy crap why isn't everyone blowing up this channel? This channel is the best thing I have ever seen! Thank you!!
I am a dramatic type and I like my hair very short. It lets me look younger and fresher. I also like to show my face fully since I am wearing glasses. Long hair looks "ungroomed" on me
I love bobs but I find with my thinning hair in the bang area it's not as attractive because that part that is suppose to frame my face is never growing out to a length that will frame my face
Once again everything is so clear now that you've explained it! I always wondered why I just naturally want to part my hair to the left-- it's because my face is very asymmetrical and parting to the left is so much more flattering! Thank you!! ❤️
I love hear you talk, your voice it's so relaxing.
that girl in the thumbnail has a bone structure to die for ♥
yes!! what is her name?
that is called buckle fat pad remover.
thats why her cheeks look like that

I had my hair cut into a bob when I was younger and loved it. About five years ago or so I cut my longish hair into a bob and...didn't love it. I looked very plain with it and mumsy I guess. right now it's down to my bra strap and cut into layers and I really like it like this. I would do a bob again though...maybe a different kind.
I show any stylist a pic of a haircut I want, and every time I end up with a boring blunt haircut that looks nothing like the pic 🙄 🤷🏻♀️
Typical of hair “stylists”
Excellent!!! Everyone should watch this vid, so much valuable info on how to get to your "ideal" hairstyle
why don't you have 3 million subscribers? lol you sure deserve them. excellent content as always, and beautiful presentation. love it.
I definitely agree. Medium length hair looks flattering on EVERYONE, unlike long or super short hair.
I got this haircut last week :) I really like it but I probably got the layering wrong... the volume I get in the back is crazy. It's a really versatile haircut, but, in my opinion, it requires at least some styling everyday to look pretty (and I, as a lazy long straight haired person, am not used to give this kind of attention to my hair)
I agree about parting your hair. I have a pixie cut and part it so the fringe is brushed toward my less hooded eye. I think it emphasises my more hooded eye and I find hooded eyes kinda are sexy.
please make a video about bangs! i have and love my straight across bangs and i’m bored of my long hair and haven’t had very short hair since i was very little but really want to cut it. Advice is needed!
I love how you talk about hair and style. I’m thinking of cutting my hair and dying it.
I’ve always wanted that haircut but it’s so hard to find someone who understands everything like you do
The one and only Beauty Analyst on you tube
I agree However, I really think it looks disproportionate on me because I'm tall and curvy with a kind of long face and thin volume-less hair texture that looks so flat and not thick, it's long right now. I can just imagine feeling unfeminine with this hairstyle. Like if you are a woman with thick hair or volume I say go for it but it takes the right Hair Texture. I have very classic Scandinavian thin hair and there's no use trying to make it look thick and curly because it would not last though the day. I need to give the same advice to you who are tall, have a long face and have my hair texture. Cutting your hair will just make you look older! ((experience))
Blunt cuts usually make hair look thicker. I think a lob with blunt even line all the way around would look stunning!!
Monica Mcpherson I've had this haircut and it looks weird on me because I have a long neck due to my height 😏 I do always cut my hair in blunt cuts to make it look thicker though !
I love bobs, just not on me! Shoulder length is as short as I'll ever go again!! You're such a sweetheart💕💕💕💕
Meanwhile, you have a long bob on your profile picture? haha
IfYouMeetAWolf it's an old pic!
I understand, but i don't see how you can say you don't like how bobs looks on yourself but then have it in your profile picture, aka a picture were you think you're looking you're best. Sorry, just a little bit confused lol
IfYouMeetAWolf my hair is actually longer than it looks in the picture! This was the first time I was growing out a bob and a few years later I stupidly did it again! It's not that I don't suit a bob, it's way more hassle to style than long hair 😂😂😂
I used to wonder if i was correctly placing my side part on my wider side. Thank you for explaining why it made sense!
This came at the perfect time, thank you.
I need to cut my hair since I ruined it by not brushing it for over a month, and it got all tangled up, and now it's all thin and damaged from the war I waged to get the knots out.
I was thinking about this haircut just today in the bathroom and I think I'm gonna go for it, thanks for explaining the details of it.
"Dogs ears blowing in the wind" lol!!!! Very true!!!
I have been growing my hair for years to donate, but Im so excited to see this video because you explain how I feel about my hair being long. I feel like it makes me look tired, it lost it’s waves and since im petite it emphasizes my small height. Long hair can make me feel confident if I style it, but using heat isnt the simplicity solution.
I used to cut my hair into a pixie but i let it grow a few months ago, i felt like it accentuated the roundness in my face. It's interesting how many types of a bob exist. My hair is side parted and straight, i have a kind of bob shorter in the front and longer in the back. I want to cut it into a straight bob, but i used to have one and the "dog ears" effect is the reason i'm not sure if i should go for that straight bob. We'll see. Thank you so much for this video, came just in time. 💕
I have really high speed internet in my phone, but still its so difficult to watch your video without buffering...so many people might be watching this video at same time ! 😅
Il try this tip of haircut Aly. Thankyou for sharing your opinions with us. Love you❤
You just confirmed my idea of cutting my hair this style. I did cut it a few months ago, but I leaved it too long, and it has already grown too, so it's just too long now. I will try to cut it again, and I'm going to tell how it went!
Oooh, I have been toying with the idea of getting a bob. I have had long hair ( below the shoulder to just below the shoulder blades) for the past 15 years. But as I am now in my mid forties and approaching my fifties, I don't know if long hair suits me anymore. Your ideas are so useful. I think I might go for the bob! 💕😉
Can you do a brow shapes for face shapes or body shapes videos? Not only shapes, but also the distance from the eyes etc. Brows are so confusing to me because you can make it any shape you want and after trying a few I'm not really sure what is flattering anymore!
I had long hair and two years ago i cut it into a bob... last year i decided i want a pixie cut. I liked it but i hate the fact that the hairstylist didnt really make it as i wanted. It looked nice but not that great. Now i am waiting for my hair to grow back. I loved it how it looked when it was a bob. Probably the best hair length for my head/body.
I have a very small and angular face with a very pointy chin. 6 years ago I had my hair cut right to the chin and I've never regretted more a hair decision lol. I know a lot of people say short hair is easier to deal with, but in my case it's exactly the opposite. Having natural straight long hair gives me a world of possibilities, while short hair was a pain in the ass to straighten, curl, color and dry. Next time I get a really drastic haircut it will be a really boy-ish one.
Thank you. I was thinking of cutting my hair, because I’m just tired of it. Now i think i will cut it.
I've had a bob almost my whole life. Not knocking it. But as soon as I grow out my pixie short hair, I'm going to face framing layered shoulder length hair. Something I can pull into a cute pony tail.
Definitely looking forward to the bang video. You're the best beauty guru on youtube hands down
Highlighting or balayage is not recommended for curly hair. Straight hair and somewhat wavy hair has a mostly flat surface and so light can bounce off it. The darker and more one dimensional, the more shiny hair is.
Curly hair has multiple dimensions and therefore absorbs light. If you have lighter colored curly hair, level six or higher, highlighting or balayage can make it look just awful. I have typical white girl natural curls (like a ginger version of Taylor Swift or Debra Messing’s hair when they wear it naturally curly, for reference.
I’m getting some white hair around the front of my face and it makes me look really washed out. I asked my hairdresser about maybe highlighting a few streaks or creating just one white streak in the front to incorporate things, and she said that trying to add more highlights would look even worse. You see, because it’s adding more lightness so there is less possibility or light to bounce off it. If I try to color it over in red, it will look cheap, Pretty much no matter what day you use. After age 40, really bright bright red copper hair is not natural and fantasy colors like burgundy and primary red can go bad very quickly.
We’ve all seen the women who have the super bright red hair that they’ve died when they are 70 and it looks really jarring.
The only things I have found that are subtle enough for my type of hair are refreshing glosses that are just a hint of color like the Madison Reed or Redkenntype. Even those need to be diluted at a ratio o 1 to 3 of argan or jojoba oil and the gloss so things don’t work harsh.
Another option, is color preserving shampoo. Copper can be tricky and so I recommend one in Strawberry blonde, dark blonde that is golden, or Rosegold.
You can even mix them if you like. Rose gold adds a bit of red without looking purple or weird if you get a good one. Only shampoo with it twice a week and leave it on for a few minutes to keep a subtle pretty look.
Similarly, you can mix glosses together to lighten them up a little bit. So maybe you get a copper gloss that is way too harsh. Get a honey blonde or clear gloss , using a rose gold shampoo brings back a little bit of the color without looking weird.
Anything with heavier color looks weird, heavy, and tacky. We all want to look elegant and sophisticated. So, I hope that tip can help somebody with lighter colored curls .
though seeing this way later, it's nice to see im doing my hair right. always had a lot of hair, nearly straight, and i'd recently did a bob. to my surprise, it framed my face perfectly. thx for making videos like these!
You're brilliant!
I have thick, wavy hair and have gone from a buzz-cut to waist long. I guess I'm too lazy to do much styling so if it's short, no problem. It its long, ponytail. If it's in between, I fuss and fuss and am never happy. However, I always get the most compliments when it is shoulder length.
My body type is closest to Romantic or TR and I have pin straight Asian hair that never hold curls even if I set it or get a perm. I've been told that I look more mature with waist length hair and my mom 'accidentally' cut it up to my shoulders, I got so sad because my hair was so healthy but I noticed when I curled my hair like Old Hollywood hair and makeup for prom I looked youthful. I think shorter and bodied hair makes full features like mine stand out too!
I had a bob and now a lob for 4 years and i keep maintaining the length. i think too it's one of the most universally flattering hairstyles
You are very bright. Great advice always! You are one of the best on RUclips. I learn so much from you.
I would like you to talk about hair colors. Highlights, lowlights, when to darken or lighten parts. I’m white in the front (I’m a senior) but brown in back. I’m interested in giving the appearance on contouring the hair while staying as natural as possible.
What would help to make my jaw more defined? Mine is almost unexistent, my neck isn't very long and I have full cheeks :( i'd like my profile to look more sofisticated and femenine
Ximena CC you might be able to define it a bit with some subtle contouring?
Just remember that having defined, sculpted look is really modern standard of beauty. Hundred years ago soft features were the ones deemed feminine and sophisticated. That being said, if I just do some subtle countouring and sport a long bob with soft layers, usually a bit wavy.
Ximena CC depending on how old you are, nose breathing and proper chewing&swallowing could help structure the jaw/cheekbone better (orthotropics)
Ximena CC Why would you want a defined jaw? I have a square super defined jaw and I hate it, I feel like it makes me look too masculine and I can't really wear feminine hairstyles. Most female celebs with defined jawlines (Brooke Shields, Keira Knightley etc) get called transgender and I myself have been called that. Please embrace what you have, you are very lucky to have a youthful feminine face. Besides scientific research has shown fuller faces with smaller/softer jawlines are more attractive. But if you really really want to make your face more defined try facial massages and losing weight.
Kathrina T Nose breathing doesn't really impact your side profile, it's a false study that has been debunked. The way you breath can't change your DNA and genetic codes.
Hi aly, you inspired me to cut my hair short so yesterday I cut it into a lob (long bob). I’m so glad I took the risk because I love it, but do you have any tips for hair that doesn’t hold curl longer than 10 minutes
Ava Hennessy Try wet set overnight curls - foam curlers work wonderfully - or plaiting your hair the night before - it works for me :)
You can put hairspray on your dry hair first and it will hold all day usually.
I love all your posts! I like how you show examples of your ideas and opinions. Please post more frequently if possible!
I'd love to have you as my stylist. I need a new style for a longer older face.
I love the way you always show respect for ALL kinds of body and shapes
I LOVE IT SO MUCH! I cannot wait for the bangs video, because I don't know it they fit me well since my face is long and my nose is kinda big and has a bump on it... The longest part of my face is the middle one, so I wanted to know if I do fit bangs! I'M WAITING SINCE NOW 😍😍😍😍😍
You are so thorough, so good at this. Soon, you will have over a million subscribers. I know it.
As a hair stylist I completely agree that the extreme a-line was just useless... hated cutting it, it never lays right and clients would get frustrated trying to style it and it would pull the face down
Thanks, Aly, your analytical skills are amazing. I really enjoy all your videos and the deep but clear understandable way you explain things.
Over ten years ago I had my long, curly blonde hair cut to a bob and I loved it. I wore it like this for more than 9 years, sometimes shorter (chinlength), sometimes longer (shoulderlength). But as I gained some weight and got older I didn´t like it quite as much on me. On most women I feel shorter is better. For me short cuts make a woman more interesting in most cases. I love pixiecuts for example. However for me a bob doesn´t do it anymore. A long bob suits me more and I feel more feminin with this cut now.
I had a bob haircut when I was young it made me look old and frumpy. I had long hair till I was about 40 and ever since then I have a longer pixie makes me look way younger than my 57 years.
beautyjunkie I hear ya. The Bob is versatile but to be honest on most women past 30 it just looks like the dreaded "mom hair". Sensible and easy to care for. No thanks!

I love your videos! Always so positive and informative. Such a gentle voice too. Thank you!!
A year ago I got my hair cut short and as I loved it I got it cut again in October (like an inch shorter than yours) and, again, I LOVED it!! But right now it is right over my shoulders and I can't deal with it, girl 😩 I'm so tempted to get it cut once more but as I have never had really long hair (and I wanna try it) I'm hanging in there. It's tough!!
Yes! I would really love a video about bangs😍 I am a soft classic so I don't feel good when my hair has got to sharp and obvious shape, I prefer them more natural and "efortless". But I always cut my own bangs, very thin and not really symetrical, something like Dakota Johnson has, or those korean actresses with very see through bangs. And I still can't decide if that looks good or not, and it takes some time to style it.
