Sally Hershberger to Chop Jan's Hair? celebrity hairstylist, hair inspiration | (2)
As you guys recall, last month I covered Jan in March's Count Down to The Chop. Jan tried out many different hairstyles in the month of March. It's actually pretty amazing how many unique looks she created (click on the pic to see them up close.) April is he month of Jan's chop, and word has it on Hair Junky, that this Wednesday, April 14th is the big day. I'm so excited to see what Jan ends up doing with her hair.

And The Winner Is… celebrity hairstyles, how to, long hair | (1)
First the crushing news: Jan went with a style suggestion from Hair Junky and not HOTB. But, chins up, kids! You're suggestions were super too. And I think everyone will agree that Kaitlin's suggestion of The Lady Gaga Bow was genius! And Jan pulled it off expertly, as usual. I want to thank the girls at Hair Junky for involving us in this fun event and giveaway. I loved seeing all your suggestions. Let's do it again sometime. ;) How to Create a Gaga Hair Bow: Pull up front half of hair from either side like a headband and secure into a side ...

Sedu Revolution Mini Flat Iron Giveaway! braids, giveaways, hair products, how to, long hair | (22)
Countdown to The Chop's Jan took my hairstyle challenge today and rocked this side braid--even doing it fishtail style! I'm impressed!

Bringing hair to one side and divide it into two sections. Taking a small piece of hair from the back of one section, wrap it around and marry to the inside of the other section. Continue back and forth with tiny pieces, pulling it tight every now and again. At the end, tie with a tiny elastic ...

Lauren Conrad (aka Queen of The Braid) wore this on-trend side braid during a recent promotional visit to the University of Southern Mississippi. Pretty cute, right? I like how loose it is... In fact, a loose side-braid is the hairstyle I'm suggesting for Jan's Count Down to The Chop! Except, I stepped up the challenge to a fishtail braid. We shall see the outcome next week! And don't forget, you guys get to come up with a long hairstyle for Jan to wear this month, too--best suggestion wins a prize. NOTE: I'm going to have a separate post about the giveaway next ...

Count Down To The Chop bun, giveaways, how to, updo | (5)
Something so right up my alley is going on over at Hair Junky. Every day throughout the month of March, Jan will style her hair differently--all twenty-six inches of her beautiful, naturally wavy, never-colored locks. And at the end of the month? She will CHOP IT ALL OFF! I can't wait to see Jan's hair makeover. And it will be so cool to see all the different styles she'll pack into her last month as a long haired gal. Even better, I get to weigh in on how Jan will wear her hair during the countdown! I'm picking one of her hair ...
