So for a while now, I've been toying with the idea of cutting a fringe (that's bangs to you yankees) into my hair. However, I know that this is A Very Bad Idea because:
The last time I had a fringe, I hated it beyond all belief.
Fringes don't suit me.
I have enough stuff to grow out anyway, what with layers and face-framing bits and everything, and I don't need something else.
If I cut one in at nine am, then I know I'll be growing it out by lunchtime.However, it's just so tempting. You know what I mean?
A couple of years ago, I had a scissor-related accident and chopped off a chunk of hair in the front, right in the middle of my forehead. It grew to a silly length, and I chopped it off again, and then now it's grown long again (to a nice length). When I pull all my hair back, I tend to pull that little bit down onto my face, because it just breaks it up a bit and makes my face look better.
Last night, I noticed two things: firstly, that that bit of hair was below my ears; and secondly, that whenever I pull it down, I also pull down a few other strands from one of my layers. Because it's such a tiny bit of hair, the ends are very thin.
I took to the scissors and cut that bit of hair bluntly at about eye level, which is where most of the thickness ends. It looks really, really good now: like something deliberate and fashionable, not like a random bit of hair that's fallen out.
And now it's given me the cutting bug :(
Talk me out of it! Please!!
