Well, it's really 10 years and 2 months because I'm slow....anyway: Earlier this year I grew a bit tired of the one-length hair and wanted something new. And the answer to that was to get myself some sideburns :) I'm so much happier with the mop now, to me there is so much more styling options and I can get my buns to look soft-ish and more playful. I even think I look a bit younger :P

(My boss OTH thinks that I now look like an elf. I adore my boss.)

As you can see, my stylist sectioned out a small area in front of my hair and put in a layer in it. The shortest bit is chin length, so it is easy to tuck away behind my ears or get it up in an updo. It really didn't affect the volume of my hair at all. The shorter pieces blends into my hair really well if my hair is down - or I can separate them out, having them hang in front of me and make me look like an IRL anime character.

I'm so utterly pleased.

I love having sideburns too! They look great on you and your boss is totally right. Especially with that pretty flower in your hair offsetting the flame color of your hair. Le thud!

I love, love, love it! When my hair gets long again, I'm going to have those, too! Face-framing hair can do wonders to soften one's face and yeah, even take a few years off. I love the anime-ish look.

:thudpile: So beautiful! And happy 10 years, as well!

I've got some of those as well, but they're just the last little stragglers from my undercut-turned-mohawk grow out! But they're in about the same spot, my temples. I'm very tempted to keep them, but at a little below shoulder, I think. They currently can't reach any updo I can do right now.

Congratulations!! And I like my wispies as well, I don't think I'll ever need to cut in sideburns as I have thin wispies around my hair line that are about chin length that I use to soften buns, but yours look fabulous on you. :)

The photo looks lovely, though I'd love to see some more, if possible (you can cover your face). I'm interested because I dislike what my face looks like from the front with plain updos, and this might be a good idea for me.
As always, your colour is astounding.

Ten years, congratulations. :) Those sideburns are cute. How nice they can be blended in or not, as you wish. You have choices! Love the color, always.

You have such stunning color, and the face-framing sides are a nice touch.

This looks wonderful! I'm growing out bangs and now I'm tempted to keep some sideburns as well as the rest grows :D

The new sideburns look lovely! I will have to try and appreciate my wispies more since they do a similar thing for my hair when it's up and I love the look on other people.

Happy 10 years!! And I love the sideburns. It's definitely elven and whimsical looking and I LOVE it!

This looks really lovely! I've been considering bangs to add something to the front, but I think I'd prefer something like yours actually. This is gorgeous :toast:

Congrats on 10 years, wow!

I've been wanting to do something similar for a while, but I've lost a lot of my thickness because of a shed lately and I don't think I have enough hair for this... I need it all in my buns.
Anyway! it looks lovely on you.

That is the most ingenious thing! That way you can have some hair down without it being super long, but it's also easy to hide when wearing your hair down.
Sorry if that's the most obvious response, but I can't believe I've never seen/heard of this before. It's just such a smart idea.

This looks lovely hypnotica, and I totally see what you mean about it being like an anime character, so pretty :D

Actually this was such a good idea without going for something majorly drastic, as usually even the smallest thing can make the difference. You have such a beautiful vibrant colour as well :agree:

Congrats! The sideburns are an excellent touch :)

Looks great! It's rather ingenious, too. I wonder if this would be a good alternative to bangs; I'm growing mine out because I love the look, but hate the extra maintenance.

ETA: I did think of a potential complication though: I wear glasses. Would that be a problem, do you think?
