I’ve often solely shaved my head once I’ve had a dandruff situation or if I really feel that I will be unable to deal with the warmth of North India. This time, I didn’t need to shave it off fully. I needed to do away with the fully ruined coloured fragments. I needed to see what the salt-and-pepper would appear to be. It took me one and a half hour to do that. First I chopped off chunks with scissors after which I simply went over my cranium many times and once more with the trimmer set to 10mm.
I’ve by no means thought of my “look” earlier than this. However this time, I needed to do it proper. I seemed for articles or weblog posts on-line however most of them have been disappointing to say the least. There was positively no Indian illustration until web page two of the search outcomes and my endurance was carrying skinny. I made a decision to experiment and see what would work for me.

Earrings

Because the aim was to make the face look longer and the neck look longer as properly, I went with these slim lengthy ones. I might have gone with even slimmer ones, with out the pearl drop, however I’ve but to complete unpacking and I don’t know the place the remainder of my jewellery is. Lengthy danglers however not touching my shoulders.
I’m carrying gold-plated silver earrings from Amrapali. These are my very own, which I bought a number of years in the past.

The brooch can be not related to the shaved-head styling nevertheless it’s my very own from Khaosphilos, referred to as “Blue-Eyed“.
Make-up
My aim with the make-up was to maintain it female : daring crimson lipstick, which isn’t new for me, however I wasn’t certain how it might work with this hair. I needed full lips and darkish eyebrows and with the bronzer, I needed to make my face seem thinner than common. So, bronzer underneath the cheek bones but additionally on the temples and in addition underneath my chin and jawline. I don’t often do that however on this case, I needed to attempt, and I feel it labored. I might keep away from tremendous darkish lipsticks as a result of at the least in my case, they make my lips seem thinner and it’s a extreme look, which I need to keep away from.
Lipstick is a mixture of Nykaa’s Name Me Scarlet and Stila’s Beso ( on Sephora and Amazon). The Beso within the tube dries too shortly and is an issue to use as a result of it ends of flaking fairly shortly. To forestall that and nonetheless use the color, I combine it with the Name Me Scarlet pencil. Basis is Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush, which I’ve been utilizing for at the least 4 years – I adore it. Brows have brown forehead powder and I ran a black mascara wand on them as properly.
Sneakers
Daring sneakers to stability the highest physique wanting bulkier or assertion boots, just like the leather-based driving boots I’m carrying, which make your silhouette longer and thinner. Particularly right here with darkish brown boots on black denims. I might not enterprise out in flats both. Even when it’s a half-inch heel, when my hair is like this, I would favor a heel.
The driving boots are leather-based and have been a present, from 12 years in the past.
Clothes
It’s greatest to maintain your clothes easy and streamlined. Clear strains, basic silhouettes, and impartial colours would work greatest. I might keep away from vivid colours or too many colours, which is what I often like. I went with my staple travel-wear : black stretch/skinny denims, tucked in black t-shirt and a black leather-based belt on the denims – sufficient to create a demarcation to make the torso look shorter however not protruding to make the torso look boxier.
Denims are stretch-skinny from Uniqlo. T-shirt is one in every of my favorite designs from Threadless referred to as Bleeding Coronary heart. I’ve at the least 4 of those.
For Subsequent Time
A sleeveless prime may be a greater concept subsequent time. I really feel that the short-sleeved t-shirt didn’t assist with the broadening of the shoulders. I don’t often put on sleeveless stuff as a result of I’m extraordinarily aware of my arms. They be flabby. I might additionally attempt slimmer and longer danglers for my ears. Aside from that, I feel this informal search for an out-and-about day labored simply nice. I’m excited to attempt a extra formal look within the subsequent couple of days.
And keep in mind, it’s hair, it grows again. Until you may have baldness within the household, through which case, higher to shave all of it off.
