Bangs
I once was obsessed with my hair. Every strand had to be cut to perfection and every strand had to be in perfect place. Then I started college and 8am classes. I chose extra minutes of sleep over style in the mornings. Although my hair was shiny and worthy enough to be in shampoo commercials, it took too much effort to do something other than tie it up into a ponytail. Well, college is over and it is time for a change. I want a haircut that will be a style unto itself (if that makes any sense). I want to be able to wake up in the mornings, brush my hair really quick, and have my haircut be a style. After weeks of trying finding a haircut that will do this for me and months of trying semi-different hairstyles (layers, side-swept bangs, shorter hair), I think I found the haircut. I have to grow my hair a little longer to give it the full effect and before I can cut the layers, but I can start with getting myself some bangs.
The Inspiration
Rory Gilmore/Alexis Bledel Season 7
I love my bangs. I can brush it all in front of my face to give it a chic edge. If I don’t want the full on look, I can brush my bangs like Rory/Alexis where some of my bangs have an off-the-center part. If I feel uncomfortable with bangs, I can still sweep it to the side for side-swept bangs. By far, the best thing I like about my newly cut bangs is that I don’t have to style my hair because it is a style already!
