Well, let me tell ya, this here Cleopatra haircut, it’s somethin’ else. I’ve seen it around, them young girls in the magazines, they all got it.
First off, what is it, you ask? Some folks, they call it a bob with bangs. But that ain’t tellin’ the whole story, see? A bob can be all sorts of things, curly, wavy, all over the place. This here Cleopatra cut, it’s straight, like a stick. And them bangs, they’re straight too, right across the forehead, like someone took a ruler and chopped ‘em off. Some say it looks like a melon cut with bangs, that’s about right.
I heard someone callin’ it sleek. Yeah, I guess that’s the word. It’s all smooth and flat, makes the hair look shiny, like a brand-new penny. But listen here, it ain’t for everyone. If your hair’s all curly and thick, like mine used to be before it thinned out, you’re gonna have a heck of a time gettin’ it to lay flat. It needs straight hair, the kind that just hangs there.
- Straight hair is best
- Fine to medium hair works well
- Thick or wavy hair, not so much
Now, I seen pictures of this Cleopatra woman, way back when. They say she was a queen, powerful and all that. But them pictures, they ain’t always clear. Some say this haircut, it’s her look. Others, they ain’t so sure. Who knows? What I do know is, this haircut, it’s been around a long time, and it keeps comin’ back.
People are always lookin’ for ideas, right? They go on that Pinterest thing, lookin’ at pictures, tryin’ to figure out what to do with their hair. And you see this Cleopatra cut pop up all the time. Folks are gettin’ inspired, wantin’ to try it out themselves. Some are scared, though. It’s a big change, cuttin’ your hair all blunt like that.
I heard a girl sayin’ she wanted a “bold blunt shoulder length Cleopatra inspired look”. Sounded fancy, didn’t it? But what she meant was, she wanted that straight across cut, but maybe not so short. Shoulder length, she said. That’s the thing about this haircut, you can play with it a little. It don’t have to be exactly the same every time.
And it ain’t just for everyday folks neither. Them movie stars, they wear it too. I seen some old movies, black and white ones, where the actresses got this Cleopatra look. Makes ‘em look all sophisticated, like they know somethin’ you don’t. Even today, you see it on the red carpet, all sleek and shiny. It’s a look that gets attention.
Some folks say it’s a versatile hairstyle. Means it works for different things, I guess. Daytime, nighttime, it don’t matter. You ain’t gotta be changin’ your hair all the time, fussin’ with it. That’s a good thing, if you ask me. Ain’t nobody got time for all that fussin’.
Now, I ain’t no expert, but I know what I see. And I see this Cleopatra haircut everywhere. It’s a classic, I reckon. Like a good pair of shoes, it never really goes out of style. It might change a little here and there, but the basic idea, that straight, blunt cut with the bangs, it stays the same. And that’s why people keep comin’ back to it, generation after generation. It’s simple, it’s elegant, and it makes a statement. Even an old lady like me can appreciate that.
So, if you’re thinkin’ about gettin’ yourself a new look, and you got the right kind of hair, maybe give this Cleopatra cut a try. Just be warned, it’s a bold move. But if you can pull it off, you’ll look like a queen. Or at least, like you’re ready to rule the world, one straight-cut hair at a time.
And don’t forget, it’s all about finding what makes you feel good. Whether it’s a Cleopatra cut or somethin’ else entirely, your hair, your choice. That’s what I always say. Now, where did I put my tea?
