jenepelVery boring hair related post follows - feel free to ignore!!
So today I finally finally got my haircut. I have been putting it off for literally months, so any semblance of a style had totally grown out - not to mention I had roots from the last time I coloured it. (I'm totally addicted to colouring my hair; it's weird.) Anyhow, it was just really long, probably the longest I have had it in about 10 years. My hair grows really fast though, and I'm lazy.
So the plan was to keep some of the length but add layers - kind of long layers in the back and around the face. And then I was having this whole argument with myself about the possibility of a fringe (bangs). The last time I had it cut I did a kind of sweepy side fringe and it looked really nice. I think it's a good style for me. But one of my good friends (whose judgement I trust) was absolutely convinced that I needed to do a shortish fringe (ala Amelie) but still with the long hair behind - kind of a mod cut. So that's a pretty drastic decision, and I've been fretting about it for about three weeks now! I mean not like non-stop, but when I thought about it I just wasn't sure. I had kind of settled on trying that - basically the cut that Lily Allen has, until I went in today and found out that it doesn't really work with my hair. SO annoying. My hair is too fine for it, so that instead of being a strong fringe, it's still pretty wispy. I was so very frustrated, because I liked the idea of the cut. And the nice girl who did it was a little unsure about it, but I said I wanted to at least go ahead and try. And she started out cutting it a little long, so as soon as she did it I could see that cutting a "short" fringe would never work because my hair just wasn't full enough. But by then she had at least cut a normal fringe so I had to keep that. I mean whatever, I always know it will grow out, or I can clip it up. But I think this is it, the official end of my fringe experiments. From now on it's sweepy or nothing, I swear! With fringes it's just a fine line between boring grade-school cut and cool urban cut. I think that the bright red colour I did this weekend helps though!
So I used this user pic because the cut I ended up with looks a lot like what Veronica has in that picture. Except that I redyed my hair red so that's different of course. If I get my act together this weekend I will post before and after pics. We'll see! So the end result is that I like the cut okay but I'm pretty disappointed in my hair's inability to do something cool.
