I used to hate my hair when I was younger because I thought it was too big. Now, I love it. Unfortunately, it lets me done every now and then... I suppose it's what we call bad hair day!

Very nice post!

That I-D editorial is so spectacular. Then again, all of the hairstyles at Christian Lacroix were splendid, as well. Who could possibly resist big hair?

Siljesfashion said...

Love big hair. The picture from Italian Vogue is beautiful.

OmnisLucis said...

Great post, I want one of those hair donuts to add some old-school glamor to my summer dinner outfits with a big bun. Also that gold crust updo from the Galliano show is so fairytale-like.

would you like to exchange links? xxx S www.omnislucis@blogspot.com

MISS GLITZY said...

Well it's going to be difficult, I've got short hair, a bit like Audrey Tautou. But you found great pictures, xoxo: MG

I wish I could have big hair, but mine is resistant to any attempts to make it big;)) Love the buns high on the top of the head<3

the hairstyles are still nice.

These are just incredible. Unfortunately, my hair doesn't really do much because it's so thick and straight.

Woow, truly BIG hair...
I wonder if there are any "service instructions" for combing and washing ;)

HAVE A JOYUFL MONDAY!!!

Elyse said...

Yay for big hair! I never even leave the house without my teasing comb! I really like the picture on the second row from the bottom on the right. I'm not really sure what's going on in it but I really like it! Like her hair looks really cool and its like half up and half down? And I think she's wearing bunny ears?

Frankie said...

Wow, these are all so inspiring. I WISH I could do hair, I'm rubbish with it. These photos make me wish I was a better maine x

SparkleQueen said...

Susanna-Cole King said...

Big hair, I love it! My hair is almost all the way down to my hips, so I really have a lot of hair to work with for crazy hairstyles, the sad part is my hair is just so straight it won't do much, and secondly, I so happen to suck at styling hair. :( But I totally enjoyed looking at all the crazy awesome hair styles in this post, anyway! :D

That Chelsea Girl™ said...

My favorite is the blue hair, haha! Thanks for all the rockin' styles.
