Okay okay, I know everyone and their mother has cut their hair into ‘the Lob’ (you know, long bob – it needs to be shortened because writing that out is oh so tedious) this year. Karlie Kloss, Julianne Hough, Lauren Conrad just to get the ball rolling. But no one had me even considering taking a scissor to my strands until I saw Elizabeth Olsen’s new ‘do.

There’s something about Olsen that has made her something of a hair spirit guide lately. When I cut my hair a couple years ago, it was her picture that I took to the salon. And the long brown locks she’s been sporting recently had me thinking about going back to my more natural color. Then she went and did this.

I’ve been growing out my hair for what feels like forever and I’m not sold on starting over but when I saw Olsen’s drastic style difference, I felt mildly inspired. Enough so to call and make a hair appointment for today.

I don’t expect you’ll be seeing a big change but there’s that very small part of me that just might go for it. What do you think?
