Thread: bangs, hair, etc.

Be careful with bangs, a lot of my friends have them, and spend more time a day tiding them up, then anything else. I would only recommend bangs if you have the time to do your hair.

You ever think about some layers, and maybe just a regular old cut, or highlights/streaks? This way it is different, but not drastic. Or you could dye your hair a colour that fades really fast.

i sorta have layers. i have taken a pic:



you can see the blaze' color that i have. what color should i do? i want something drastic, i think. i don't know what would really work with my skin.
and what you said about bangs is exactly what i don&#39;t want to deal with. why can&#39;t they just be maintenance free. >.<

I was having the same debate. So I cut my hair to just below my shoulders, and had my shortest layers long enough that I could tuck them behind my ears, but still do bang type things with them. And then realised how glad I was I didn&#39;t go for bangs.

If you&#39;re tempted have longer bangs cut for you, then if you hate em, they&#39;ll grow out quicker. Then if you want them shorter you can always cut them again. As for colour, I have no clue!

hmm. i struggle with this cutting decision because it&#39;s ALMOST to mermaid standards, which excites me. maybe i should just color it for now. but that&#39;s SUCH a HUGE commitment. then i&#39;ll have to be REcoloring it all the time and all that crap. i should just do it, i have a shitton of greys anyways.

maybe i&#39;ll just get a trim for now, and a new color. so i guess i really need color suggestions, which is a bitch and a half. i went thru this last summer too, and almost went platinum. i&#39;m kinda glad i didn&#39;t.

i have a gf who&#39;s been a hairdresser for years. maybe i should take this query to her

ohhhhh hairrrrrrrrrr.

Maybe try a few different ones in the colours that wash out? You won&#39;t be able to go lighter, though.

OR - go to your friend and have her put a few different colours of high-lights in, of colours you&#39;re thinking of, and which ever you end up liking the best in the long run, go with it?

I used to have a thick full fringe (bangs is a bizarre term... crazy yanks) like this:



And it was so so so much hassle, it had to be blow dried just right and if there is even a slight merry ribbon of wind you end up with a fanny part. I used to have a brush and a mirror out every 2 minutes trying to fix it, it was so annoying. I don&#39;t know if it&#39;s like that for everyone but it was a pain in the arse for me. I don&#39;t know if that&#39;s cause I cut it in myself orrr? Maybe hairdressers have a magic wind tampering prevention method, who knows. I miss that fringe I liked it but it was just too much work so if you&#39;re the type who can&#39;t be arsed faffing around with your hair I would say don&#39;t get a full fringe. Side fringes are proper easy to handle though, when it&#39;s windy you don&#39;t have to put in place a military operation to make sure it looks okay, you just sweep it ta the side, peesy! You could get one of those. As for colour, I dunno, my natural colour is like a mid brown and I&#39;ve died it dark brown, purple-y brown and like a reddy colour. It looks like shit now cause I haven&#39;t died it since January or something. I&#39;ve never had highlights or anything, they seem like too much hard work. I dunno I think you would suit it really dark, like a chocolate brown, or maybe reddish like this:



OH! I just got a mental picture of you with a little bob and a fringe in that colour! That would look hot. Kinda like Katie Holmes:



That&#39;s really drastic though. I&#39;d have my hair cut like that if I wasn&#39;t so terrified of having short hair. You&#39;d suit it like this too, less dramatic but still a big change



Hmmm but you don&#39;t want to cut it do you? Okay I am rubbish at giving advice... dye it dark and get a side fringe, that&#39;s what you should do if you want a change but don&#39;t want to loose the length and don&#39;t want lots of hassle. Yes.

Long hair is sexy.

Just sayin&#39;.

I agree with Satisfied. I think your hair looks great at the moment. And i think you would look good with a brunette/auburn colour.

if it ain&#39;t broke, don&#39;t fix it
