I got bangs!

[swanns]

So, having basically the same hair for six years finally had it's toll on me and I just had to do something. I'd been thinking about getting bangs for two years (on the other hand I tend to get bored pretty easily, but at the same time change is not easy for me at all, go figure) and so I finally did it. I really really adore those indie hairstyles with heavy or side-swept bangs.

At first I nearly had a panic attack because it didn't look like anything I'd envisioned and I did it on a whim, I hid it with pins when I went out with some friends, but now that I spent some more time with it (and some wax on it) I'm actually really starting to like it. It's going to be even better when it grows out a little. All in all, I'm happy I did it !

Pics or it didn't happen:

Also it somehow makes my precious grays even more visible, which is great!

I didn't take a picture of them with my hair down because I basically never wear it down, but since you asked :) :

My hair's really weird at the moment, the last time I washed it was at my friends home last weekend and they have no running water so it was a bit tricky..

[Anniekins]

Your bangs look very soft and beautiful on you !

[LittleOrca]

You look great! :) I am a fan of no bangs myself, but these are super cute on you! :) :thumbsup:

[Speck]

I can't see the pics :( I bet it looks great.

I had to google "indie hairstyles" (didn't know there was a name for it) :o

I love those styles.

[Prettyeyes23]

Neat Swanns, thanks for sharing!

[UltraBella]

This looks SO incredibly cute! Great job!

[Drarra]

The bangs are very flattering.

[Atira]

Couldn't see the pics either.

[CourtneyBee]

Sooo pretty. I love the little whispy right by your chin, how darling!

[swanns]

Speck and Atira, it's because you're new members :)

Thank you to all of you! I know I like them but I was a bit dubious if others would like them at all.

[silverjen]

Oh my goodness they look great!

:::faint::: I love it!

You make me want bangs....!! I must resist, though, they don't look as nice on me as they look on you!

Fantastic :)

[Heartwillfollow]

You look beautiful with bangs :)

[triumphator!]

Lovely! I've always thought that a good set of bangs can make a person look more thoughtful. :)

[Yozhik]

That is a gorgeous set of bangs! I love the way they look -- did you cut them yourself?

They give a wonderful softness to your face :)

[Sisko]

The bangs look very cute on you, and elegant all at the same time.

Good way to go about a change!

[Phexlyn]

That looks great! I love how the bangs frame your face, so pretty, and their soft look for updos! :)

[Teazel]

Super cute! :)

[Chrissy]

I love them! You are so cute. It's also good to see you. You have been quiet lately. Looking good!!

[Newniepg]

I think they look really nice on you! Very soft and flattering. :)

[LouLaLa]

They frame your face really well! I love it, its like a modern interpritation of the bettie page! Looks fabulous up and down! It looks modern but also very vintage glamarous.

:cheer: love it!

[swanns]

Thank you all for your lovely comments! :flower:

Yozhik, no, I wouldn't have dared! I went to this salon at my street, I just had my ends trimmed there last week and they did a great job. I think I'll keep trimming them myself now that they gave them the right shape :)

Sisko, definitely! And you can do so much with bangs, they're a great way to keep the length but at the same time change your look every now and then.

Chrissy, nice to see you too! I've been lurking, but getting involved in threads is always so hard and I haven't felt up to the challenge as of late, maybe I'll try to shape up now.

[Sammich]

Your hair is so gorgeous and feminine with those bangs and down, and you're so adorable! :D
I love the little wave it has, wow, and the style! :D

[heynormy]

Your bangs are super cute!! They are soft and full..my dream bang! :D

[Henrietta]

You look great! Your fringe suits you perfectly:)

[RadiantNeedle]

Simply stunning! I'm tempted to get something similar but I think my face is too round >.<

[Charlotte:)]

Bangs are a great way to go when you need a change but want to keep your long hair. By the way, you look super cute with them :)
