it's haircut time again!

[orangerful]

Okay, my hair is long. I'm happy it is long, I like my ponytail, but it needs to get under control. I just grew it out because I was too lazy to go get it cut. But I'm thinking it might be nice to have pretty hair for when I visit the family in Maine in two weeks.

I think I want bangs. I feel as though I have a lot of forehead when I pull my hair back for a pony/pigtail. I found a few pictures of Kristen Bell with bangs that I like.

Now, the ends? Should I let them be all crazy and layered or do something like Gwyneth Paltrow's new look (but with bangs!). Ah, rockin' it old school with Gwenyth, my original girl crush...

Hayden Pantierre just got her hair cut in a similar style but much shorter. It is cute but I think I'll save picture that for later.

Any other suggestions?

la la la, when the heck would I do this? I guess I could go out Friday...or Monday after work. Probably Monday.

OMG Hayden's hairstyle is adorable--I hadn't seen it yet! I think I know what I'll be getting next... (my hair is already pretty short... it needs a trim soon though.)

I love KB's bangs! I've tried to get mine cut like that so many times, but wussed out in the end. My Cally bangs were actually pretty close, though.

I like your short hair, it's super cute but a bit wild too - just like you! :) I think the Hayden cut would look great on you.

Yeah, I'm thinking I need to print out the KB bangs pic and go to Hair Cuttery next week.

Oh oh, I totally took pictures from the photoshoot of the second Kristen Bell shoot with me when I got my hair done, I love it. Super easy to manage and play with if I get bored. Only problem with bangs is maitenence, you have to get them trimmed way more than the rest of your hair. Luckily most places will do them for free or really cheap.

The Gwyneth look is fantastic, I'd definitely say try it.

the one where she is on the stool? That picture? Okay, I will take that one with me. I haven't had bangs in awhile, maybe I can teach AD how to cut them LOL! shyeah right.

Here's hoping the Hair Cuttery in Severna Park is competent enough to handle combining the two photos into one look (and that they don't give me crap about my half-dyed hair).

Oh hah, I am a failure, I meant the first one, with the black background, which is basically just the second one like a month earlier.

I showed my girl the picture and told her I wanted bangs like that, something that I could push forward to wear as bangs, or something I could pin/sweep back. You might want to say something like that so you don't get hella thick bangs that are always going to be in your face no matter what.

omg I'm trying to decide the same thing! I really want bangs (I haven't had them since middle school), and I really like KB's.

I like bangs, I just have to have a competent stylist that can do the whole "feathered" thing so its not a ton of bangs. KBs hair is so cute. :)

Unfortunately, I'm not really girly enough to understand these things. I sort of get why the last guy gave me long layers. I do like the first KB with the black background, though. Very sexy.

I just feel like when I pull my hair back in a ponytail, I see a lot more of my forhead then I want to haha. I used to have bangs and now I miss them. I keep spending my money on toys instead of haircuts.

That's the thing about bangs. You have to keep up with the haircuts or trim them yourself. (which can be disastrous)
