But I waaaant them. These are just a few of the pictures I am constantly bringing to my hair stylist [the fantabulous Amanda at Argyle Salon].

| Francoise hardy with the perfect casual side swept bang |
 |
| I know this is much older look from Jennifer Garner but I have always loved it. |
 |
| Cute, right? Super short side swept bangs. |
 |
| Karlie Kloss with her super cute wavy banged bob |
 |
| How many times do you think this picture of Katie Holmes has been shown to a hair stylist? Katie Holmes should demand royalties. |
This last picture of Anna Karina is what got me to cut bangs the last go-round. And I hated them. They would not cooperate in the least and I spent weeks with my hair pinned back like a 12-year old school girl.
But still, they look cute right? Maybe it would be different this time? Amanda, what do you think???
Actually I know what Amanda thinks. She was the one who cut those bangs the last time after I begged her to do so. And she was also the one who went through the grow out stage with me. If it were up to her I would forget about the bangs. And that is saying A LOT as she is usually game for whatever nonsense I want to do with my hair [Lob it? Sure! Grow it out? Why Not! Chop it all off and donate to Locks of Love? Lets do it!!].
I clearly have pushed poor Amanda over the edge with what to do with my fringe.
We did a "compromise bang" last time and it is not doing it for me. It is neither here nor there. Not a bang, but still too short to pull back. Worst of both worlds. I need to either commit to bangs or let these pieces grow out.
So maybe I should just let it be. I do have some none bang inspiration as well. These are the latest pictures I am obsessing over.

| No I don't plan to go blonde or pink, but the bob is cute right? |
Ok I realize I have not one but two pictures of ladies with cigarettes. I do not smoke. I quite a long time ago and it was very painful to do so. I do not advocate smoking. Just super cute hair.
And these ladies have super cute hair. I realize I am showing all blondes. I have no plans to go blonde. I am always down for some highlights, maybe even the ombre look again, but I am too much of a brunette to go platinum.
If it seems as if I am talking myself out of bangs, let me remind you that the First Lady recently did this.
I highly doubt I am the only woman in America walking in to the hairdresser with a picture of the First Lady. I wrote about Mrs. Obama's trend setting abilities once before. It almost seems like the patriotic thing to do.
Any thoughts from the bullpit? Should I be banging it out with the rest of the country?
As I get older I find my side swept bangs make me look younger. They are very easy to cut yourself. I never go to the hairdresser anymore. There are hundreds of youtube videos on cutting side-swept bangs with a razor. So easy. I love mine.
ReplyDeleteYour side swept bangs do look fantastic. I could add your picture to my inspiration list.
DeleteI am sure their are loads of tutorials but I would not trust myself to cut my own hair. At least not any more. There have been some incidents I just do not want to repeat.
You could just order some clip in bangs from a hair extension store. I'm thinking about doing that. No growing out, no commitment, just clip and go. You can buy several different kinds of bangs from http://www.hairextensions.com/home.php?cat=41.
ReplyDeleteSomeone else mentioned this to me. I think I would need to go someplace and actually check it out in person. At least just to match my hair color. And to get a lesson on how to do it.
