I recently got some "side bangs" cut into my hair, and I LOVE them. I like the extra kick they give to the front of my hair. My hair isn't long (I'm trying to grow it out) but I essentially want the same thing....my side bangs with a ponytail. My hair dresser taught me how to comb them so I get that nice sweeped to the side look. I say go for it!!!

P.S. I think I must be the only girl on earth's who guy doesn't give a rat's a** what I do with my hair. I've had every length, style and color and maybe he's just used it it. I've had long...VERY short...in between...dark brown...light brown....what can I say. I get bored easily!!

Anyway, be sure to post pics you like before you go, AND some after pics!!

I could not style my hair without this (or something similar), use the bigger brush size:

I'm happier with my hair right now than I've been in a LONG time. I've let it grow out for 3 years (since it was way short when I was pregnant with Sarah, which I liked that too, but hated the in between phase). So it was getting so long that it was looking flat. I got long layers cut it in and fresh highlights. I loved it so much I had dh take a picture from the back - here it is - and all I do is blow dry it with one of those round brush air dryer things (one handed, I cant' do the 2 handed thing)

I LOVE IT... but too much work for ME...hehehe I'm a wash, part dry, & go kinda girl...

Do whatever you want but I'd say layers that are LONG and no t too close together would look great in your hair. And I keep the front layers long enough to still go up in a ponytail (my daily style, that or a hat!!) Yes, I'm liking the long layer idea and longers side bangs.... not sure about the front YET! lol

Michelle your hair is beautiful!! I have a similar cut to yours but I can't seem to get it to style like that. I use a curling iron and it takes forever. What is the thing called you use to style your hair?

Shell I think you would look good with a similiar hairstyle as well. I have really thin hair and this cut helped to make it look fuller in the back. I don't know what the effect would be if you have thick hair but it would probably look just as good if not better. I have a strange combo I THINK.... I have long, fine hair and a lot of it!

Ooh it sounds like I got the same bangs you did! And while my BF doesn't care what I do with my hair, I won't repeat who he told me I looked like when we were arguing over directions in Seattle. LOL I still owe him a kick in the butt for that one!! Maybe I'll have to slip some blue cheese in his food {{giggle giggle}}

I've still got mixed feelings on them. They're a pain in the butt when it's windy outside and don't look as nice at the end of the day. Might go back to my other normal style, but still deciding.

Shell I do have some bangs cut into mine but they are nice because if I want them in the style then I blow dry it that way but if I want it to blend in with my hair they will do that too. It looks cute with a ponytail to have a few wispy bangs that fall forward. I say go for it! I would have them add long layers to your hair if you don't already have them. I have my hair long and I have to have layers or it is too flat! Yes, yes, yes.... I think you just sold me on it!! I think I will ask for them to go down to my jaw line, be able to go hehind my ear, and also back in a pony!! and long layers...


Michelle your hair is gorgeous!!! It looks like one of those shampoo commercials! totally!

Hey Shell,

I think you'd look good with some bangs. Not so sure about the layers though. If you have very straight hair (you said you did, right?) the layers might look funny. I don't know if I'd have a new person do ANYTHING too dramatic with your hair though, that's always a recipe for disaster. I usually get long layers, but it has been 5-6 months since I've had a cut, so you can't tell. I will not go TOO dramatic....this salon is very reputable and I told them I wanted some experience doing mine.

me and my mom have stick straight fine hair and we both use that brush/curling iron thingy too and it makes our hair full of oomph!

As for the bangs.. I've noticed that the straighter the hair, the less likely you're gonna look good with side bangs. they'll just hang, unless you really work with them everyday.

I say that if you want low maintenance and you have straight (not too thick) hair to skip them. I have long, fine hair....but A LOT of it...it "looks" thick.... (do you agree Jen, Kandee, Melissa, Steph?)

Mine is cut just like the second picture here you posted!! I cut mine short about 1.5 years ago and have been growing it since. It was pretty much all one leagnth and just hung there, no style at all. About a month ago, I had it layer around the face, with side bangs and I few more layers in the back and it really looks and FEELS much better! I say Go For It!! It's only hair, it'll grow back! LOL!! I know I freak though too every time I want to change it!! Yeppers.... I think I'm gonna GO FOR IT!!!

The guy that cuts my hair gave me longer bangs two times ago and I cried when I left. I hate having hair in my face, it gives me a headache. I just grew them out and he did that. I didn't have the heart to say "why did you do that?". I stopped at the store on the way home and bought hair clips and I wear them everyday. Oh, you poor thing!!

My hair is thick and wavy. I hate it. I never do my hair. I just wash, brush and pull the sides back in clips. I just don't have the time or desire to do it. It ends up so frizzy on the side. I suppose I should get my hair straightener out. Anyways, I've just about given up on it period. Trust me I'm not good advertising for the salon even though he is awesome.

UUmm... I'd say you don't like your hair Heidi... hehehe Just playing.... You NEED to get yours done when the kids are back in school...!! OK?

Good luck today and share a picture so we can see how it looks. What color highlights do you get? Well, the older I get, the more my natural color goes from blonde to brown (and not a nice brown I don't think).... so now I get blonde and sometimes a little redish put in there....I'm going to TRY and get to my appointment early and see if they have some books there that I can look at of "current" color fashions and also get the opinion of the stylist. I've only had it done twice but he did redish highlights for me. I think I will get it done when the Maddie and Meike go back to school.

I have long, fine hair, and a lot of it too....I LOVE Michelle's hair, but my hair would NEVER do that, it's too thin. If yours is anything like mine - be careful on the layers! DONT get them too short, you'll hate them if you're used to your long hair. I got layers about 6 months ago and they basically made my hair look thinner and looked like I had bad ends all the time, because it just hung there!

I wouldn't do bangs if I were you....mainly because your hair is SO long and if you hate them it'll take forver to grow them back.

Anyways - just an opinion! I'd put some LONG layers in there and see how you like them....you can always make her go shorter if they are laying right on your head! more good advise!! I knew I could count on all the girls here... kinda bummed to not get Tommy's thoughts....LOL just kidding... he is busy with Tina anyways!!

I think you have the same type of thickness I do. Not too thin, but not too thick that you can't run a comb through it when it's wet. But my hair is naturally wavy (darn home perms when I was younger..) so I have to watch certain hairstyles.

Do you blow-dry your hair? You might have to with the layers to get them to curl the right way. Not sure how much maintance you want to spend with your hair. I blow most of it dry and then just go from there... when I got it cut the last time 5-6 months ago.... I did dry with a round brush in one hand....it only takes another 5 mins if that... so I don't mind that part....but once I hit about the 4 month mark... I gave up cuz it was looking good "as is"....but now that the roots are so dark (it looks dirty) all the time....I MUST get it done... I'll try keeping it cut more often then 5-6 months and just save the foiling for twice a year.

Ask the salon.. they're usually pretty good if they're that expensive. Yeah, this is true.... it is not gonna be cheap that is for sure!

I got a call from my regular hair girl while I was at lunch... she is going to stay late and get me in next Thurs @ 6pm (we don't leave until Friday night for the reunion)... I'm so excited...it will get done by someone I trust and will save me about $70!!

I want to take her a small gift for staying late... any ideas??

---

I just talked to my Mom, she also goes to the same girl.... she suggested a gift card to Tully's Coffee (there is one within walking distance of her salon, that she goes to)

I got side bangs today too. I had to take my mom to a doctor's appointment where she was for an hour, and one of the only other places in the area was a hair salon so I went and got a haircut and got the side bangs too. I think I really like them, but I am not sure... hehehe we are twins!! post a pic!!
Anyway, yours look great! Are you happy with the result? not sure yet! LOL Shane LOVES IT!! Have you tried your new brush/dryer thingie? No, I took it with me to show my girl and she said just to return it (I never opened it), she said it will not do ANYTHING for MY hair.... oh well...

**hugs**
