A flair for changing her hair

100 STYLES: Like many women, Rebeca O’Keefe knows what it’s like to continually change her hair look.

IT’S in Rebeca O’Keefe’s best interests to keep up with the latest hair trends.

But even if she didn’t work as a hairdresser, the 20-year-old would still change her hair at least twice a year.

Like many women, her hair has gone from long to short, layered to straight and blonde to brown.

A recent study by Grazia magazine says a typical woman will change her hairstyle more than 100 times throughout her life.

It found the average woman visits the salon at least twice a year.

Most women will experiment with at least three colours, some will change their hair after a break-up and nearly half will opt for a new look simply because they are bored.

This week Rebeca, who has worked as a hairdresser for almost five years, showed us her many different looks over the last few years.

“I went through a bright phase with different-colour fudge,” she said.

“I had quite long hair down back – you don’t see many hairdressers with long hair these days. I also had a short blonde bob.”

Rebeca, who works at Hairmoda at Stockland, said these days she preferred a more natural look.

She said all the fashion lately was about messy styles and the “regrowth look” was in.

She said from her own experience with clients she would agree that women would have 100 different styles in their lifetime.

“A lot change their look with the seasons – dark in winter and light in summer,” she said.

“Also the texture and colour of hair will naturally change every seven years.”
