Hello there everyone and welcome to Room 5.

4
00:01:45,780 --> 00:01:51,040
My name is Alison Lanthorn and today I'm going to talk to you about hairstyles.

5
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:56,459
really I'm going to talk to you about hairstyles, hairdos, and haircuts, alright? Throughout

6
00:01:56,459 --> 00:02:01,739
my life I've had loads of different hairstyles. When I think, probably the first time I got

7
00:02:01,739 --> 00:02:07,459
my hair cut, I was probably fourteen years old, fifteen years old. I remember I was a

8
00:02:07,459 --> 00:02:12,900
sophomore in high school. Now, when I think about that, it wasn't the first time I got

9
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:17,740
my hair cut ever. Obviously I had had my hair cut in the past, but it was the first time

10
00:02:17,740 --> 00:02:23,620
I had a drastic cut. I'd always had my hair really long. In fact, a lot of times I had

11
00:02:23,620 --> 00:02:28,479
had bangs, what I have here. Most of the time, I'm trying to think, I'm trying to remember,

12
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:35,800
but I think most of the time, at least until high school, I had bangs, and I had long hair.

13
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,419
And like I said, my sophomore year was when I cut it for the first time, shoulder length.

14
00:02:41,740 --> 00:02:46,500
All right, I cut it to here, so I cut it shoulder length. But when I was younger, I always had

15
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:54,099
long hair, which was, my hair naturally is wavy. So I had long, naturally wavy hair. And I remember

16
00:02:54,099 --> 00:03:01,139
in, in elementary school and in junior high that I used to style my bangs. I used to, it was the

17
00:03:01,139 --> 00:03:06,919
eighties. So I used to style my bangs and I used to put kind of like curl them with the curling iron,

18
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:12,580
the curling iron, right? So I would curl them and then I would wrap the hair like this in order to

19
00:03:12,580 --> 00:03:17,340
give it height, and then with the height, I would spray it, and I would have sort of

20
00:03:17,340 --> 00:03:23,080
almost like a fountain of bangs on my forehead, and what can I tell you?

21
00:03:23,340 --> 00:03:24,099
It was the 80s.

22
00:03:24,139 --> 00:03:29,219
It was a crazy time, and high bangs were in fashion, and I had to be with the fashion,

23
00:03:29,419 --> 00:03:36,400
so I always had my high bangs styled, but like I said, then when I was in my, I think

24
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:42,139
my sophomore year is when I cut my hair shoulder length, and probably actually when I entered

25
00:03:42,139 --> 00:03:48,500
high school or maybe even in my later years of junior high, I started to grow out my bangs

26
00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:53,919
and I had, you know, my bangs the same length as the rest of my hair. But again, I always

27
00:03:53,919 --> 00:03:59,960
had long hair. So I cut my hair short, shoulder length, sophomore year. Then I grew it out,

28
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:06,139
again I let it grow and grow and grow, and then I cut it again short in my, actually

29
00:04:06,139 --> 00:04:12,180
yeah, coincidentally, I cut it again short in my sophomore year of the university. So

30
00:04:12,180 --> 00:04:17,160
I cut it again short like this, and I had it here that it would kind of flip out. All

31
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:23,360
right, but I never had bangs again. I never actually cut short bangs again. Then I grew

32
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:29,480
it out again longer, and in my final year of the university, in my senior year, I dyed

33
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:36,240
my hair black. Well, not completely black, but really, really dark brown. So I dyed the

34
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:42,100
whole hair really dark brown, and I cut it really short in the back, and had it longer

35
00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:48,000
here in the front. Now this style, I loved this style. Really, really cute. But again,

36
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,959
like everything, I got tired of it. So I let it grow back out again, and I started to dye

37
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:59,779
dye it back to my natural color. So that was again, yeah, in the last years of the university

38
00:04:59,779 --> 00:05:04,920
and when I moved here to Spain to get a master's degree. But then when I was getting married,

39
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,560
I wanted to grow it longer. So I was letting it grow and grow and I had my hair long and

40
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,120
sometimes I would straighten it with a flat iron. I would straighten it, but most of the

41
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:19,000
time because I'm a little bit lazy, I would just let it be wavy. Because like I said,

42
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,939
I have naturally wavy hair. So that's how I did it most of the time. But then, once

43
00:05:23,939 --> 00:05:30,199
I got married, unfortunately, my hair stylist was moving to New York. So I decided, all

44
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:35,860
right, you're leaving. I've had long hair for ages now. One final hurrah, cut my hair

45
00:05:35,860 --> 00:05:41,399
short. And he did. And I loved it. He cut it to about here, all right? It wasn't quite

46
00:05:41,399 --> 00:05:47,220
shoulder length, and it wasn't as short as it is now. He cut it to about here. And I

47
00:05:47,220 --> 00:05:52,060
really, really liked it, but I didn't have bangs. I had everything the full length, and

48
00:05:52,060 --> 00:05:57,339
again to about here, and it was fantastic. Alright, he left, and so now I'm going to

49
00:05:57,339 --> 00:06:03,300
another hair stylist. Now she's good, but she's not my favorite, and what she's done

50
00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:08,459
recently, what her idea was, was to cut it short, kind of like a bob, alright, so to

51
00:06:08,459 --> 00:06:15,959
cut it short, and then to cut bangs, which really, I'm not the biggest fan of these bangs.

52
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:19,399
they're too much work for me, all right, I'm a little bit, I look in the mirror, and I think,

53
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:26,279
really, and then again, I like to do yoga, I like to do Pilates, I run, so I sweat, and I have these

54
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,500
bangs, and if I don't have time to style my hair, then I have to do something, because the bangs get

55
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:38,439
all wavy, and curly, it's just really not a good look, so having this hairstyle requires me to,

56
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:44,579
to style it more often, so at the moment, this is what I've got, as you can see, I've basically had

57
00:06:44,579 --> 00:06:46,660
to every hairstyle imaginable.

58
00:06:46,660 --> 00:06:50,139
The only thing I've never done is shave my head completely.

59
00:06:50,139 --> 00:06:52,079
I've never shaved my head.

60
00:06:52,079 --> 00:06:52,959
Who knows?

61
00:06:52,959 --> 00:06:54,220
Maybe someday.

62
00:06:54,220 --> 00:06:55,480
That's Room 5 for today.

63
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,839
Thanks for joining me.
