What is the name of Selma Blair's haircut style in her infobox pic? Thanks. 2601:648:8202:350:0:0:0:C115 (talk) 03:31, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Isn't it just a shaggy bob?--User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 11:22, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Here it's called a "simple bob".  --Lambiam 14:33, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, both of the articles help. "Bob" refers to the total length but I was wondering more about the strands in the front. It looks like they are still called bangs even though they aren't cut straight across. 2601:648:8202:350:0:0:0:C115 (talk) 15:44, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

According to Bangs (hair), they don't have to be cut straight across to technically be called bangs. Which helps explain why I've heard the phrase "straight-cut bangs" before. †dismas†|^(talk) 16:09, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

I've never come across the idea that they be cut straight to be bangs. I've always understood bangs to be hair at the front that is cut a distinctly different length than the surrounding hair. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 18:36, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

TIL, I thought that bangs were straight across, but ok. This is Yvonne Craig in Whom Gods Destroy (Star Trek: The Original Series). Are those also bangs (just to be sure)? They look cool. Thanks. 2601:648:8202:350:0:0:0:C115 (talk) 04:40, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

It's hard to say since we can't see the rest of the hair (or wig, I assume), but I think they're likely a different length than the rest and therefore bangs. Matt Deres (talk) 17:38, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Cream Cheese Shortage

I'm able to find more than enough information on why there's a cream cheese shortage right now, but I am not able to find anything on even a rough estimate of when the shortage will end. Has anyone found a reputable source that has a guess? 2600:8807:C04E:9700:5044:FC38:BC60:372F (talk) 04:21, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

IP geolocates to Florida.--Shantavira|^{feed me} 09:23, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

This article explains some of the causes of the shortage, but I cannot find any information on when it is going to end. --Jayron32 12:13, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
