I love my new hair stylist. She's everything I've ever wanted in a stylist and more. She's honest about what she thinks will or will not look good with the shape of your face. She's an expert with color and gets it perfect every single time. And most importantly, she's hilarious, fun to talk to and has Big Ones.
Tonight, as I sat in the chair waiting while she mixed my color, she asked if I was upset.
"No, I'm just tired... Oh! Must be the PMS! Didn't know it was that obvious."
PMS has always been pretty bad for me, but the last few months it's become even worse. That is really bad news for everyone in my life. I'm irrational, over emotional, I get angry over stupid things. I cry a lot. I EAT MC RIBS IN MY CAR.
I tell you all of this because tonight I told her I wanted to do something totally different style wise.
"How do you think I'd look with bangs?"
She took a moment to look at my hair, at my face.
"I think they'd look really cute, but you should know I'll have to cut all the way from here."
I was all "I'm so nervous, but...do it!"
She asked how much I wanted off the length. I told her to cut it short. She suggested we only cut an inch off the length.
She thought the bangs would be such a drastic change, I may want to take it easy with the length. She said within a week, if I still wanted it short, to come back and she'd do it for free.
After she cut my bangs, I mentioned cutting my hair short again.
"I think it will look CUTE!" I said. (Was totally high from thrill of new bangs. BANGS!)
She leaned over to me and whispered. "I don't really want to cut it short, I think you're a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittle hormonal right now and you may regret it later on."
Love her! She was absolutely right. I do think if she had done it, I would be laying on the floor crying right now saying things like "I LOOK LIKE A WEIRD BOY." ( Lena totally got that.)
I like the bangs, but they're taking some getting used to. I feel paranoid about the roundness (fullness? fatness? Oldness?) of my face. I love the idea of them and the way they're cut, I just have to get used to seeing them on my face.
I think.
Anyway. All this to say...
Bangs!
they look fab! Mine are like this as well and it took some getting used to.
I hate having hair in my face when I work out, so I scrape them backwards and pin them with a clip - not terribly attractive but it does the job.
