Extreme Celebrity Hairstyles

Well, she didn’t pull a complete Britney Spears shave, just half. Singer Cassie debuted a peculiar new hairstyle where she had half her head shaved clean and kept her long hair on the other half.

The half-shaved head has been the signature look for model and socialite Alice Dellal. In fact, “The Alice Dellal” hairstyle recently inspired the look of the Fall 2009 RTW collection of Issa. However, the models did not shave their head; instead, an illusion of the style was achieved with hairspray and bobby pins.

Well, it’s not an illusion in the case of Cassie though, as she explained on her blog: “Yeah, I did it. They ask why?? LOL B/C I WOKE UP AND FELT LIKE IT!!!”

“Sometimes in life, you need a change,” pondered the 22-year-old singer. “Something that displays the ‘I don’t give a fג attitude that was always present, but never showcased. Something deeper than what you thought you were capable of. And something that will shock your mother, but make her call you a ROCK STAR.”

Karate Kicks

Boxing day did see me venture to the sales as soon as the doors opened, although I managed to pick up a few key jewellery finds - such as a beautiful pair of chunky hooped earrings from All Saints - I was less than impressed with the sales and left with a disappointedly low number of shopping bags. My brothers on the other hand did the opposite - I think that the sales were definitely better for menswear, in design and a distinct lack of shopping competition, as my boyfriend found out when I came back laden with post-Christmas gifts.

I had planned on seeing in the New Year with a new wardrobe, however when you’re on a credit crunching budget like me, a wardrobe sort out is more likely. Hopefully it will unearth some beautiful finds that I’d forgotten all about – I particularly desire a vintage brown, aged, leather handbag the size of a weekend bag, hopefully I’ll find one lurking at the back of wardrobe. This would be incredibly useful as where else I am supposed to keep my winter goodies such as lipgloss, hand cream, hat, gloves, scarf, tissues, extra socks, cardigan…I think you’ve got the picture.

Thankfully this year I won’t have to fret about a New Year’s Eve outfit in the conventional sense as I’m going to a fancy dress party with an ‘MTV’ theme. Now before anybody cracks any Britney MTV comeback gags - I’m thinking about going in a Lily Allen get up with full-on pink prom dress, trainers, bling and a karate kick for any paparazzi that get in my face, keep posted for images. Let me know if anyone spots my current desire; a vintage brown, leather handbag.
