The Best, Expert-Approved Bob Haircut for Every Head Shape

One of the most simple, yet equally nerve-wracking experiences someone can subject themselves to is a haircut; especially when they want to find the best bob haircut for their head shape. Because while a dramatic big chop may be tame for some, cutting even one or two inches of dead ends could be terrifying to the other. Of course, making the appointment is easy enough, but how about finding someone you can actually trust with your tresses at a price that won’t require you emptying your savings account? Talk about anxiety.

And what about the process of after-care? Beyond extending those salon-fresh aura days or even weeks after the deed is done, there’s also putting together a regimen that’ll not only mesh with your texture and keep it healthy but motivate you to constantly freshen-up your new look, too. Seriously, it can be enough to send anyone running in the opposite direction if they haven’t already taken the plunge. Plus, if you thought the process got any easier with a look as classic as the bob, think again.

From the moment pros dubbed a long version of it the “lob,” we knew it was just the beginning of an entirely new set of styles we would need to get familiar with. Beyond the length, which is typically ear- or shoulder-long, there’s also the addition of layers and color. More often than not, the number one question anyone asks before taking on this style is, “which version goes best with my head shape?”

After all, what looks good on someone with a square jawline may not be the most flattering for someone with a more oval-shaped one. And because we would never want to steer you in the wrong direction, we’ve got a quick-and-easy primer from Michael Duenas, Garnier Consulting Celebrity Hairstylist. Ahead, he breaks down a foolproof guide for knowing which kind of bob haircut you should be aiming toward.

For Heart-Shaped Head

If your chin is more pointed with a wider-cheek and more prominent forehead, Duenas says, a chin-length bob is fantastic (a la Ciara), especially if it is one length.

“This will give your jawline definition and your cheekbones will pop,” he says.

Plus, texture and layers add even more definition.

For Square-Shaped Head

When your jawline is more defined, go past it. Ideally, a longer lob is your best bet, similar to the style Allison Williams wears above.

“Keep your ends textured, and soft,” says Duenas.

He also adds, “blunt lines will accentuate the squareness of your jaw.”

For Oval-Shaped Head

Though this is probably the most versatile shape, allowing for various lengths and styles, Duenas’ favorite look on this head shape is a lob, cut into a modern shag.

Similar to square-shaped heads, don’t be afraid to play with texture. Alexa Chung sure isn’t.

For Round-Shaped Head

A lob (aka longer bob) also suits this head shape, though Duenas recommends adding in layers too.

“You want to collapse the weight in the hair, to keep the volume low on the sides,” he says. Think of Kirsten Dunst’s softly tapered style.

The Working Actress’ Guide to Fast ‘No Makeup’ Makeup That Actually Stays Put

Makeup for auditions can get a little tricky. First, you have to consider the character. That might seem obvious, but you really need to dive deep, read the sides and script (if they’re provided), and get as much information as possible. Let’s say you’re going in for a cop role (yesss, let’s get our SVU on!). You probably want the best “no makeup” makeup in lieu of a full beat. After all, this is a badass cop bustin’ down doors to secret drug labs and having contentious debates with lawyers in the courtroom: I OBJECT!!! Sorry…got a little excited. Back to my pointthis cop doesn’t have time to put on three layers of foundation, powder, a cat eye, and a red lip.

To be honest, when do any of us have time for an extensive routine outside of special occasions? We’ve got places to go and people to see, right? For example, here’s how my morning routine usually goes:

INT. DANNY’S BEDROOM-MORNING

Dark. Messy. A 7am alarm goes off.

DANNY

(Yawns) Is it really already time to get up?! I just went to sleep 5 hours ago.

After another 20 minutes, Danny peels herself off the bed and stumbles out of the bedroom.

INT. DANNY’S KITCHEN-MORNING

Danny opens the fridge and takes a swig of the Trader Joe’s cold brew waiting to jolt her back into existence. She stretches.

INT. DANNY’S BEDROOM-MORNING

After a ridiculously extensive morning skincare routine (cleanser, essence, vitamin C, moisturizer, lots of SPF), she checks her planner and proceeds to freak out about an audition taking place in a couple short hours.

With that being said, I’ve spent a considerable amount of time perfecting an everyday “no makeup” routine that could work in the boardroom, dorm room, or any other room, for that matter. Keep reading for my tried-and-true starting five.

bareminerals powder foundation The Working Actress Guide to Fast No Makeup Makeup That Actually Stays Put

bareMinerals.

Step 1: All About That Base

The best-looking makeup starts with your skincare. I live in Los Angeles where it’s usually warm and sunny (except for a beautifully cloudy, rainy period we call June Gloom. Oh, how I miss those days.). You want to make sure your skin is hydrated and protected—emphasis on protected because SPF is extremely important. Pack it on. Take it with you. Remember to get the tips of your ears too.

The first step in my makeup routine is a powder foundation and the one I use regularly is the bareMinerals Original Loose Powder Foundation. I prefer powder foundations because they’re easier to reapply throughout the day when I’m in and out of auditions and work. Also, this one has SPF 15 in it. It’s difficult to reapply my sunscreen throughout the day, so this does the trick for me.

glossier cloud paint The Working Actress Guide to Fast No Makeup Makeup That Actually Stays Put

Glossier.

Step 2: I’m Blushing

I’m all about bringing a little color and dimension to the face, regardless of how minimal my routine is. Glossier’s Cloud Paint in Dusk has been my go-to for a couple years now and it never disappoints. It’s a pretty pinkish, brown nude that looks glorious against my skin tone.  I use it as I would a highlighter, tapping it along my cheekbones and apples of my cheeks and gently patting it all in.

Seriously, what was I doing with my life before I discovered this? It always leaves my skin looking healthy and luminous.  And If I feel like I need a little extra pop of color, I’ll layer on a bit of Neutrogena’s Healthy Skin Blush on the apples of my cheeks. Just remember that a little goes a long way with this one because it’s very pigmented!

laura mercier mascara The Working Actress Guide to Fast No Makeup Makeup That Actually Stays Put

Laura Mercier.

Step 3: The Eyes Have It

I never wear eyeshadows to auditions, but if you’re a makeup addict and need that swipe of color on your eye to make you feel like the best you, go for it boo! I would just say the more natural, the better. Stick to neutrals. Eyeliner isn’t necessary, but I personally love a nice thin line of black or brown eyeliner to make my eyelashes look a little fuller. Speaking of eyelashes, is anyone else obsessed with Laura Mercier’s Caviar Volume Mascara? It gives my lashes volume and length without making them look clumpy.

abh brow wiz The Working Actress Guide to Fast No Makeup Makeup That Actually Stays Put

Anastasia Beverly Hills.

Step 4: Fill Your Arches

I’ve been blessed with naturally thick brows, so I don’t always feel the need to fill them in; particularly when I’m going to audition for a younger character. The age range I can play is 17-29, so I have to adjust the placement and heavy-handedness of the products I use according to the age of the character I’m going in for. If I do decide to fill in my brows, I go for my good ol’ Anastasia Brow Wiz and fill in any sparse areas, keeping it as natural-looking as possible.

kora noni lip tint The Working Actress Guide to Fast No Makeup Makeup That Actually Stays Put

Kora Organics.

Step 5: Pucker Up

Most of the time I don’t like using glosses for auditions because, well, they’re too glossy and shiny, and I don’t like wearing lipsticks because they can age you. I stick to tinted lip balms. Nowadays, my absolute favorite is the Kora Organics Noni Lip Tint. It’s hydrating, gives your lips a nice bit of sheen, and comes in a beautiful berry shade that works for all skin tones.

What Ganja Yoga Taught Me About Cannabis and the Questionable Benefits of CBD

Rich moments are etched into my psyche from ventures with cannabis-enhanced yoga. I was first introduced to the trend at Tmrw.Tday— part wellness retreat, part music and culture festival attuned in reggae vibes packaged as a week of relaxation on the 7-mile beach stretch in Negril Jamaica. The class, “ganja yoga,” stuck out on my itinerary essentially because I never imagined professionally intertwining the two. I haven’t delved into the activity in years, excluding a few puff-puff-passes that occasionally fall into my social orbit. “Why not?,” I initially thought.

Ironically, it’s the only yoga class I can recollect after a year; the sound of the waves, the wind, and the mist of rain spotting my face— there was a tropical storm hovering over Woodstock, the tiki beach bar where we practiced on the rim of the Caribbean Sea. I can recall my senses heightening to great extents— the motion of movements from downward dog to warrior pose, much more graceful than ever before. The community force of oneness was at large and to this day, the only difference between this class and every other one I’d taken is well, of course, the ganja.

Ganja Yoga, in particular, is a phrase coined by Dee Dussault, expert and author of Ganja Yoga: A Practical Guide to Conscious Relaxation, Soothing Pain Relief, and Enlightened Self-Discovery. “The generic is cannabis-enhanced yoga or cannabis yoga,” Dussault recently told me. “Ganja yoga is one of many types of cannabis-enhanced yoga that now exists. It started in 2009…We specifically focus on the clean-curated-cannabis, meaning pesticide-free, no harms. And then the yoga specifically is slow, mindful and safe.”

This year, Dussault embarked on a 10-year anniversary cross-country tour that gave yogis the opportunity to earn credit toward certification by the Yoga Alliance, the governing body of yoga. “[The Yoga Alliance] counts the Ganja Yoga teacher training as a real continuing education, meaning you don’t become a yoga teacher after taking the training, but we can use the credits towards your teacher training so its a continuing education program” she explained. “After the training, if people want to become a certified Ganja Yoga teacher and join my brand, I have a certification and life speaking program.”

Intrigued, I decided to take a class in New York City, if only to possibly traverse my mind, body, and soul back to that beach in Negril.

The Experience

In September, I crashed a New York City course whereupon entrance, yogis were already socializing, pulling out their preferred method of consumption and sharing spliffs. After some pulls and a cup of green tea spiked with CBD oil, I assumed my position on a mat and started looking over the training manual.  As the euphoric-like effects began to kick in, I cherished feeling so at ease, just as I did back at Tmrw.Tday.

As time went on, all concern about whether or not I looked okay practicing—I’m not an experienced yogi— really went out the door. I’m very tall and not hard to miss, so my trajectory is usually a concern, but not here. Ganja allowed me to perform better, lingering in positions much longer than I’ve been able to in the past. The biomechanics section focusing on foot mobility, heel placement, arches, toes, and ankles were also a godsend for my flat feet. Ultimately, I was able to tune into my being and shut off the mind for quite some time. In fact, I still remember and practice the techniques from this one specific class—kind of ironic, right?

I also realized this was drastically more effective than CBD oil, the ingredient experiencing a high of sorts within the beauty. For years, we’ve been told that it’s a cure-all for dryness, inflammation, and other skin ailments, but can CBD make a real difference without other parts of the plant? Through my deep-dive into the cannabis yoga world, I learned that the whole thing is better than a single part. 

If you want an excuse to go full-on psychedelic with your CBD experience, here are the essential elements to keep in mind before investing in a cannabis yoga class on your own.

CBD Versus the ‘Entourage Effect’

Let’s break this down real quick. The cannabis plant is made of hundreds of compounds called flavonoids, aromatic terpenes, and cannabinoids. CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) are cannabinoids and commonly found in both topical and ingestible products. CBD is the nonpsychoactive part of the plant that doesn’t get you high, as opposed to THC, which is psychoactive and creates euphoria-like effects. On its own, CBD tends to produce a feeling of calmness or relaxation, but its benefits apart from the rest of the plant are still up for debate. This partly explains the growing popularity of yoga classes that also infuse THC. 

“In a lot of instances, the mixture of THC and CBD has a synergistic effect rather than just CBD or THC,” said Carolyn Johnson, senior therapist and spa developer at Kiyara Spa in The Cliff Hotel in Negril. During Tmrw.Tday, I went to Kiyara for a cannabis-infused hot stone treatment and to talk about the weed-friendly wellness craze. “ We have a long history of herbal traditions in Jamaica and spas are about water, warmth, and herbs and that’s what Jamaica is bouncing in. I started integrating cannabis within the last year or so and this is full-spectrum cannabinoid, not CBD. CBD as an isolated compound is problematic because studies are showing that the whole plant with other cannabinoids present has more positive effects on health.”

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Project CBD, a California based non-profit promoting and publicizing research into the medical uses of CBD and all the components of the cannabis plant confirms the “entourage effect” or “ensemble effect”—the therapeutic impact of the plant as a whole— is greater than the sum of its single-molecule parts. However, Dussault suggests that marketing CBD as a single compound is a route that wellness companies choose because “it’s really hard to sell a plant with variability between crop to crop” she insisted. “But that isolated compound is not good medicine. Isolated compounds are easy to market, easy to sell, easy to regulate. Capitalism loves isolated compounds. But having a little THC present, even too small to feel just a little bit is really where the medicine shines. It needs the symbiotic relationship of all of the plant compounds to have a minimum adverse effect.”

Legalities

There’s also the issue of where you can enjoy cannabis yoga or cannabis, period. According to Disa Global Solutions, as of October 2019, cannabis is legal in 11 states and the District of Columbia. It’s medicinally allowed in 23 states with many other states engaging in mixed laws dealing with infused products and reduced criminalization.

However, if you are looking to train or practice cannabis yoga, you should consult with a certified Ganja Yoga instructor to know the specifics in your region. “[In training] we discuss federal law, state law, municipal law, and ways to find out what the law is because it’s often ambiguous,” explained Dussault.

Dosage & Strains

Cannabis isn’t for everyone. Many claim paranoia, anxiety or even grogginess when partaking. (I can attest to this as well). Much of the aforementioned has to do with the strain of cannabis and the amount of CBD, the non-psychoactive compound of the plant, and THC, the psychoactive compound, in each strain. “In the older days, you didn’t know what you needed and what you got, but you knew it was healthy,” explained Balram “Bali” Vaswani, Chairman Chief Ganja Officer of Kaya Herb House. After my first successful ganja yoga class, I sought the opportunity to visit Kaya, the first medicinal Ganja Herb House in the Caribbean during SPF Weekend at their annual I-Rise event held by Solid Agency, to educate myself on strains, dosage, and methods.  

“There are qualities and different things that can define a strain,” Bali shared. “In the ganja industry, just by looking at a leaf formation, a fatter leaf would be an Indica leaf and that will be for muscle relaxing and sleep. A thinner fine leaf would be a Sativa dominant which is euphoric and better for depression and creativity. If you think of testing, just in the last 5-7 years, we have really good research in terms of THC and CBD. A first time user might want to start with a much lower dose of THC between 8-11%, which is the lower practices from the early 80s,” and this is true.

If you are new to cannabis yoga, the idea is to start low and go slow. Since THC is the compound that creates euphoric effects, beginners need to take a deeper look at what they are using. “You have to know the dosage and you have to be able to calculate how to increase the dosage. If you don’t understand those mechanics and those tests are not available, it makes it difficult to cure symptoms because at the end of the day that’s what we are trying to do— have a resolve for anything that we have.” One way to do this is by checking out Leafly, the world’s largest cannabis website that breaks down the amount of THC and CBD in each strain of cannabis available at any dispensary in your desired area and focuses on customer experience.

Working with a ganja yoga instructor, medicinal facility, and physician is the best way to steer clear of disadvantageous reactions when considering this practice. Dussault admits that “oftentimes people take way too much cannabis— hypothetically too strong of strain, too much THC in a strain— in their early exploration. So if people take more of a one-to-one ratio of equal parts CBD and THC, a hardcore cannabis user wouldn’t get that high because the THC will be too little, but for a beginner that’s a good amount of THC to mitigate any potential of paranoia.”

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Nevertheless, it’s important to note that there is no set dosage for handling cannabis because it’s personal to everyone— a dose that alleviates one person’s symptoms might do very little for someone else. Also, note that there is no consumption limit in Ganja Yoga classes. “If someone has a high tolerance and they bring four joints and they smoked all of them and that works for them, there is no judgment because it’s a medicine and we all have a different relationship with it” clarifies Dussault. “People I know who have extraordinary high tolerances, I wouldn’t want them to feel like they are going to get in trouble if they are smoking too much. At the same token, I do advocate for the minimum effective dose— how little of the medicine do you need before you feel the positive effects you are looking for. There is no need to go beyond that with your consumption.”

Keep in mind that the method of ingestion— smoking, vaping, eating edibles or applying topical ointments or gels— is also personal to each user. For instance, my preferred methods are smoking and vaping. I have not figured out what strain of cannabis and what levels of THC and CBD operate best for me, but I’ll be working on it. 

Yoga Safety

In 2019, yoga is still considered a marriage between the body and mind that mostly concerns itself with spiritual development. However, there’s also a growing emphasis on the aerobic benefits that build strength, build muscle mass, and increase flexibility. With that being said, the type of yoga you combine with cannabis use is an important choice that can make or break your practice. 

Yoga magazines and Instagram accounts favor postures that are inaccessible and truly only designed for the athletic elites but that’s not really what yoga is. “Yoga is not even really about postures or final destinations,” Dussault said. “It’s about the journey so we want people who are older, who are larger bodies, who are inexperienced with yoga to feel that this is a practice.”

A way to do this is to focus on slow mindful Hatha with a bit of restorative or Yin, an ideal type of yoga practice to integrate cannabis because it’s the easiest and most mindful kind of all levels. “With the power of really slow mindful easy yoga and cannabis together, that gives a lot of opportunities to cultivate physical relaxation and mental relaxation” continues Dussault.  

All in all, if you’re hellbent on experiencing the benefits, beauty or otherwise, of the CBD craze, a high-flying workout may just be your best bet.

According to Our December Horoscopes, We’ll Be Closing Out 2019 With a Bang

Wow, what a year. For better or for worse, 2019 came at us with great speed and intensity—much like your December 2019 horoscope. If you thought 2019 was done turning the world upside-down, then you’re as wrong as that time I thought it would be smart to go drunk paddle boarding with my very non-waterproof phone, despite several explicit warnings from my friends not to.

This month’s horoscope is going to be big for all the signs. Not only will it be an end of the year wrap-up, this December horoscope will also give us insight into the new year and all of its Big Dick 2020 Energy.

The good news is that the astrological calendar for December 2019 has a lot of favorable transits, so you can plan on forward motion and good things to come in all areas of life. (Can I get a hell, yes, baby Jesus?) Back-to-back celestial luck is not something that is always abundant in our charts, so let’s enjoy it, yes?

What Astrological Transits Will Be Happening in December 2019:

Dec. 12 has a full moon in Gemini (you’re WELCOME), which will bring to life the duality in your life (work/life balance, relationship incompatibilities, etc.) and hopefully bring the closure you’re looking for.

Venus enters Aquarius on Dec. 20, leading to unconventional solutions to problems and attraction between opposing forces (like me, my lactose intolerance and holiday party cream-based dips! Pray for me).

Dec. 26 will also have its annual solar eclipse in Jupiter, signifying abundance and good luck. Plus, a new moon in Capricorn will have you taking charge of your life and creating exactly what you want. You can’t see me right now, but I’m giving the sky a chef’s kiss. Please continue.

Keeping all of this in mind, I urge all the signs to be courageous this month. Ask for more than you’re comfortable with. Understand that hearing “no” does not constitute as a personal failure, and your mental health is just as important, if not more, than trying to stick to a joyless diet.

I hope this holiday season is full of good tidings and even better food, also friendship and family (blood or found) and absolutely all of the love that this big, juicy, world has to offer.

Your December 2019 Horoscope:

STYLECASTER | December Horoscopes 2019

Aries –

Humans are social creatures. And while we all differ on how and how often we connect, we all need at least a little something. This month, avoid hibernation and cutting yourself off from others. Notice how much better you’ll feel after connecting with someone important to you and how it influences your behavior and your compassion towards others.

STYLECASTER | December Horoscopes 2019

Taurus –

Practice patience with yourself and others this month, sweet Taurus. You have big ideas but may find executing said ideas a little more difficult. If you’re constantly disappointed in yourself for not following through, scale down and make more realistic plans. Lessen the stakes and move at your own stride.

STYLECASTER | December Horoscopes 2019

Gemini

Stop committing to things that aren’t important or make you feel bad. It’s a trap we all fall into, but with honest reflection (brought to you by exercise! Meditation! Journaling! Talking to dark spirits who’ll do your bidding), you’ll find you already know what you could do less of to bring you less suffering. Practice courage. You are strong enough to take care of yourself, full stop.

STYLECASTER | December Horoscopes 2019

Cancer –

The holiday season is always a time for you and your domesticity to shine. Cozy get-togethers, quality time and gifts make December Cancer’s favorite time of year. So enjoy it! Just make sure not to overload yourself or make others’ well-beings and holiday happiness your job. It’s not all on you, Cancer. Let people show up and help.

STYLECASTER | December Horoscopes 2019

Leo

Things worth doing take time, Leo. Instead of quitting, try taking a break or finding a new angle. This year tested your resolve and willpower in so many ways—keep going. This December, things will change for the better. But only if you keep moving forward. Persistence and patience can be dull in the moment, but they are required of all great things.

STYLECASTER | November Horoscopes 2019

Virgo –

December is often a time where we are all functioning a little bit outside of our comfort zones. And in your case, that means a lack of control. Stretch and work this muscle like you would with your legs before a run. You can do that by going with the flow, checking in with yourself emotionally and understanding when you may need a break or to organize your spice rack. Soon enough you’ll get the gainz.

STYLECASTER | November Horoscopes 2019

Libra

Holidays and this time of year tend to prey on our insecurities. One way we can all succumb to their insecurities is through mass consumption. New clothes and accessories will not make you any happier; they’ll just mean you have more stuff (and less money). Same as losing ten pounds—you won’t be a better person, you’ll just weigh a little less. All things to remember while you’re walking through the aisles of Target.

STYLECASTER | November Horoscopes 2019

Scorpio –

Appreciate the present moment as much as possible, Scorpio. It’s easy to get hyper-focused on the future or on all of the things you want to do once you have the time or money to. But right now is all there is. Soak in the moments that make you feel alive and let your future self contend with whatever happens.

STYLECASTER | November Horoscopes 2019

Sagittarius

How many times do we tell ourselves “I’ll be happy as soon as I achieve X,” only to reach our goal and find that we feel exactly the same as when we started? Changing that line of thinking is the only way to truly enjoy the process of living and to be able to enjoy the accomplishment for its own sake rather than what it represents to you.

STYLECASTER | November Horoscopes 2019

Capricorn –

Leisure, for you, can be a tough mental exercise. It doesn’t count as a break if you’ve got on a thick layer of guilt that haunts your self-care moments, like watching movies, spending the day with friends, etc. This month, allow yourself to indulge fully—mind, body, and spirit. Your to-do list won’t go anywhere, and a fully rested and happy Capricorn is formidable.

STYLECASTER | November Horoscopes 2019

Aquarius –

Manifestation can seem a little woo-woo, but truly, that shit works. Maybe not as quickly as Amazon Prime, and maybe not exactly what you ordered—but your wants are powerful. By thinking positively about what you want to attract versus obsessing over what you don’t want, you can shift your own perception enough to get what you want. This December, make the planetary alignments work for you and ask for the moon, Aquarius.

STYLECASTER | November Horoscopes 2019

Pisces –

It’s weird how spending time with the people we love can bring shame closer to the surface of our everyday life. But, there it is. And if you’re not careful, sweet Pisces, it can end up taking over your life and souring more than just family dinners. Remember that your worth is not determined by your expectations or that of others.
