When a one-hairstyle-wonder gets a much-needed upgrade. A chorus of “ooh” and “ahh” erupted in the office today when I walked in. No, that is not the usual greeting I get for showing up to work. Yes, I did love it. The cause of the commotion was thanks to my
new haircut, which is inspired by New York-based model
Freja Beha Erichsen. The ELLE Canada office has been on “Freja Watch” since I decided to get the chic-but-shaggy style six months ago (what can I say, I’m super impulsive ha!). To understand why a haircut could cause such fuss, it’s important to know my hair history. And that history is about as varied as
