We love a good reason to celebrate here at The Glow HQ and one of our beloved staff members getting ‘the chop’ is certainly reason enough.
Mamamia’s Branded Content Executive Alexis Carey rocked up to the office last week looking considerably different – she’d chopped off half of her hair. The majority of her ombré-ed hair had disappeared and made way for a sleek, new, completely on-trend, long bob.

As you can see in the gallery below, a number of the Chops we've featured in our series have resulted in long bobs. So why did Alexis decide to go there? Read on... (article continues below gallery)
Q & A with Alexis
How long has your hair been the way it is now?
I got my haircut last night but I hadn’t been to the salon before that since September. Oh the shame.
What made you decide to make a big change?
My hair was like straw and I couldn’t put it off any longer! I wanted to try a long bob for months now but I’ve just been too busy to book an appointment. I also started working at Mamamia in September and got engaged in December, so that’s pretty major!
The Chop: Goodbye, 43 centimetres of hair…
What sorts of things were you looking at to get inspiration for your hair transformation?
Millions of photos of celebrities – it seems like everyone has this style at the moment. I particularly love Alexa Chung, Emily Blunt and Rose Byrne.
How did you describe what you wanted to your hairdresser?
I said I wanted a long bob with a side fringe – but I basically left it up to him. I’m pretty relaxed about my hair and usually feel confident trusting the stylist to do their thing.
