Get The Party Started/Mrs Mac Haircut 11/16/12

Welcome Back To The Pixie Revolution,


It's Nov 17th a day after Mrs Mac's Nov 16th  hair appointment, and as promised
We have an update.
So last time I posted I shared the options and possiblities of where Mrs Mac's next hair appointment
would take us.
Would Mrs Mac have it rehighlighted?
Completely bleached blonde?
Undercut/buzzed to a #3? or a #2?
Would thre style be the same?

Well the wait is over.
To say the past several months have been trying for me would be an understatement
I know I've let the blog slack, between us moving, and now i've been dealing with what it seems
one health problem after the other.
Cold, sinus infections, possibly the flu, bad reactions to medicine, and a cold again
Yeah that's been my Late Sept-through mid November

In that time though I've managed to post some pic collections, and update Mrs Mac's haircuts twice
I've got tons of  famous women lined up to be Short Haired Babe Of The Week. And have a decent amount of Wish They'd Cut It Short, so bear with me and I promise I will have tons of new postings in the next month.

Onto Mrs Mac's hair appointment.
Due to me not feeling well, and staying home with my daughter Friday night, I didnt make it out
to Mrs Mac's appointment
I can say without letting the suspense twindle, that going into the appointment Mrs Mac had her mind
set on getting it bleached. Just how much bleached was up in the air.
We had both discussed whether she should get it bleached all over, including the buzzed sides and back, or leaving it it's natural color for a contrast.
Ultimately Mrs Mac and her stylist decided it be best to bleach the long top hair only and leave the
buzzed hair it's natural color.
Mrs Mac brought quite a few pics, most that you've seen, and alot of Pink's.
Pink has always been a favorite of Mrs Mac and she finds Pink to be inspirational.
Especially Pink's style and look.

In case you were wondering Mrs Mac and myself both saw Pink on VH1 this week with her appearance on StoryTellers and the Vh1 Behind The Music of Pink.
So it was definetly a Pink theme this past week.

So back to the moment of truth.
Mrs Mac and the stylist decided not to bleach it all over, as the buzzed part grows in so quick,
that it would require it to be rebleached every couple of weeks.
We just dont have the resources to do this every 2 weeks, and definetly wouldnt trust trying to match
the color by redoing it at home with bleach.

I wish I could tell you more about the process and cut but alas I want there this time.
Mrs Mac did tell me the following.:
Her stylist bleached the top first, the process to a while, especially getting all the same color throughout and over the contrast of the highlights.
After the bleaching was done, the stylist brought Mrs Mac over to the chair, and pinned her bleached hair up on top, and proceeded to taking out the clippers, attaching a #2 and buzzing everything that was unbleached ( the back and sides)
When it was all said and done, they both decided to look up pics of Pink for reference in my wife's nook in the salon so the stylist could see how Pink style's it upwards and sprayed gelled up.

So with that, that's how Mrs Mac came home, completely Pink'd up, with a very cool looking
tossled updo cut.
I do plan on taking pics of her hair styled down as it is usually, but for now I managed to get these
pics shortly after Mrs Mac came home and before she hopped in the shower and washed the gel out.

So there you have it
Below is the pics
Enjoy!
Until next time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mrs Mac's Next Cut Update/Home Rebuzz?

Welcome Back,

As promised I have a couple of new pics of Mrs Mac as her hair is on the grow out.
These pics were taken about 2 weeks ago so she has a little more grown in in the buzzed areas

There are several scenerio's on the table.
As stated in my last post Mrs Mac hates how fast the buzzed part of her hair grows and
has agreed upon me testing the waters that she'd be ok with me pinning her long hair up and rebuzzing the undercut buzzed area. We talked about me using a #2 or a Number #3 ans she said
 we could use a #3 first and if it isnt short enough use a number #2.
Here's the dilema we are just about a week and a half off of Mrs Mac going for her appointment
 ( Friday Nov 16th)
I think the window is closing and she is going to want to wait till her appointment comes.
We didnt do the rebuzz this weekend as alot was going on and we were both feeling under the weather)
That leaves the pportunity dwindling. But the good news is it only means it's dwindling for this month
Upon getting it recut/buzzed on Nov 16th, within about 3 weeks she is going to want ot rebuzzed, especially seeing her appointments are every 6-8 weeks and that means she wont have another appointment before Christmas and would be even more inclined for me to do a rebuzz as a 6 week next apppointment would put us out past christmas and betwen New years and knowing us and all the activites between Christmas and New Years week, she'll schedule for 8 weeks out.

That being said Mrs Mac is also debating if she should change up her current cut a little.
As I mentioned before I dont think you can go anywhere shorter with her current cut as far as how far up its buzzed or how short the clipper setting is.
As far as Mrs Mac is concerned I am wrong.
Mrs Mac has hinted that she is indecisive and has several options on the table
here they are with pics provided
 Below:
Here is her current style and grow out progress as of a week or two ago:

1.) Keeping the overall cut the same in style and keeping the height of the undercut
but buzzing it down to a long #1. She's seen Pink's cut in the video "Try" and likes how short it is as she feels it's even more of a contrast. She likes alot of the pics she's seeing where these woman have it buzzed to a severe #1 where the color almost looks colorless grey. Not sure how I feel about this option, but I will admit I am seeing this alot in pics. Mrs Mac feels the color contrast of highlighted bleached blonde/dark blonde on top with a #1 nape and side undercut would make it pop.

Here's a couple of pics of this idea.

2.) Keeping the overall style and also keeping the height or going slighly higher of the undercut but either keeping it buzzed to a  short #2 or buzzing it to a #1 but bleaching it all over.
This is something Mrs Mac has wanted for some time. I know how most of you feel about this.
Not good. I know most of you are fans of the highlites as they bring a softness to the style.
Again though Mrs Mac has seen Miley Cyrus and Pink with this bleached out color and shortness and she loves it.  Of all the options Mrs Mac seems to be the most keen on this. Particularly having a #1 buzzing of the sides and nape that is bleached blonde and a bleached blonde top to match.
Below is pics Mrs has saved and would use as reference:

3.) The most radical idea. Bleaching all of Mrs Mac's hair to bleach blonde,

but  completely altering the style by cutting it all off into a ultra short pixie/clipper cut. About 6 years ago Mrs Mac had ultra short hair and then

grew it out to the Demi Moore pixie. But Mrs Mac has always hinted she would like like to try

the ultra short look one more time. With this idea she would bleach all of her hair, then she'd get the longer top cut extremely short to an ultra pixie. We both agreed seeing Mrs Mac loves the clippers and it's feeling that she get the top clipper cut to somewhere from a #3 #4, #5 or #6 on top and the sides and back to a #1 or #2.

This cut would be extremely different and radical and would also be low mantience as Mrs Mac likes. It would also I think satisfy Mrs Mac's curiosity of what it would be like to get all her hair buzzed off into a clipper cut as getting her hair buzzed on the sides and back seem to be pushing the envelope for her and exciting her seeing how short she can get away with having it. 

 Mrs Mac said if she would get it all cut/buzzed off that she would grow it into a retro Demi Moore/Josie Bisset type pixie that doesnt have severe undercuts but a #3 buzzed back nape only.

Here is the pics Mrs Mac has found and saved. Out of all the ideas,  this one is the one that makes me the most nervous and frightened. It's been 6 years since Mrs Mac has had her hair this short.

 

Below Pics: Reference pics of Ultra short pixie buzzcut, with varying degree's of length we would chose from

 

 

 

4.)My Favorite Idea!

Letting me rebuzz Mrs Mac's buzzed area and her not going to the stylist for a trim on

Nov 16th. This option would allow Mrs Mac's overall length to continue and grow while rebuzzing her sides and back to a #2 or #3 giving it a freshly cut look. I like this option the best, as we could see her hair length on top grow even more making more of a contrast to the buzzed areas. Below is what her hair would look like if left untrimmed on top. Her hair would probably get to this stage by early next year, if she kept letting me rebuzz the already buzzed areas and leaving the rest alone.

 

 

 

5.)Retro pixie/wedge buzzed nape hybrid.

 Going slightly shorter with the over all style.

With this option the color could stay the same

But certain aspects would change in the style.

A more bowlish cut with the sides growing in slightly or not buzzed as short

The undercut grown in on the sides and back.

A sharp shelf line on back with a buzzed nape around the top of the ears. No undercut.

This cut would take a little work as some areas would need to grow while other area would need to be cut shorter or cut differently

Well that's all the options. I'm exhausted.
Well let us know what you think.
What do you think is the best option for Mrs Mac?
Mrs Mac definetly listens so your opinion will definetly sway/effect Mrs Mac's decision.
