You've seen Katie Holmes with her long chestnut locks, smoothed and flowing down below her shoulders, and you've seen her wearing her hair up in the back
with wisps hanging along her sides for a dressy affair. Well, let me tell you! There's a new kid in town! The whole place is whispering about the celebrity and her brand new look (June 2007).
Some say it resembles Victoria Beckham's signature cut, and we are going to talk about that a little bit. From what I understand, those two are buddies, so what would it hurt if Katie takes a page out of
Victoria's book and learns for the betterment of herself? I am sure you know who I am talking about—she is the famous British pop singer, songwriter, and dancer.
As if that isn't enough, she is also a fashion designer. Now, do you remember her? She is a good sort to run around with and learn the ropes of the trade. Katie isn't any slouch herself and has been acting
for many years now. The mixture seems to be like peanut butter and jelly—both good for each other.

I, for one, am glad to see the bob hairstyle reappear on the Hollywood scene. I'm tired of seeing all the center parts and straight or coiled hair about their shoulders. Remember that old song by Peggy Lee,
where she used to sing: "Is that all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing; under the moon." Sometimes, when I see so many center parts and long straight hair, I start to hear that song in my head.
However, bobs are different, and there are so many types out there. Just like the unique one that Katie got. I was delighted to see her go for the gusto and dive right into the water with a brand new look.
Hey, sometimes, we all need to do the same thing!

Katie has a haircut that looks similar, though not identical, to Victoria Beckham's. If you take a look at Victoria's hair, you'll notice it is cropped close to her head in the back, quite severely, so you can
plainly see the outline of her head when you look at her profile. When you see Katie's haircut, there is some hair still to play with, and her head is not as outlined as Victoria's. When we look at the back,
we can see Katie's hair lying upon her neckline.
The haircuts are similar but not the same. If you think about it, Katie probably wanted this, realizing that she didn't want to be a walking clone of her friend Victoria. Katie Holmes knows she is an individual
and wants to keep it that way.
This is one of the problems we see today in hairstyles. Everyone wants to be an individual, but they end up looking just like each other because they are too frightened to make a change. Sometimes, even if a
woman doesn't look good in her hairstyle, fear keeps her from moving on to improvement and individuality. The worst that could happen is that you don't like the haircut, and it will always grow back.

Another thing to consider along these lines is the different way Katie's hair lays compared to Victoria's. Katie has a natural bounce and a bit of wave that wings out from her face. Victoria's hair is straight
as an arrow, without any bounce at all. Katie's hair is also a bit longer on the sides, while Victoria's hair is shorter on the sides, but still long enough to be tucked over her ears.
The tops are quite similar as well, as both have the tops angled on their foreheads and moving from the zenith of the whole haircut into that one big angle that falls over to one side and halfway over their
faces. Again, the difference between the two is in the texture and length.
