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!!! that sounds great!!

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!! lol

Anyway, be sure to post pics you like before you go, AND some after pics!! did, and will do!

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!!!
