My New 'Do + Sneak Peeks

I finally got a haircut yesterday!!

Woohoo!


It has been a very long time and I was itching...no, dying...for a change.


I have been sporting the long hair, no bangs, lots of layers look for a while now (see blog photo).  I LOVE that look for myself.  But there are always times where the grass looks greener on the other side. 


This was one of those times.


I would like to start by saying... I *heart* bangs.  I really do.  The side swoop is my favorite, but I really, really like the short, pixie-esque bangs that many celebrities rock.  


Michelle Williams for example....I lust after her hair.

I think it's because I know that I could NEVER have that cut.  My locks are too thick and too wavy/frizzy/psycho.  Plus I don't like to spend a lot of time or effort on my hair. 

But I LOVE LOVE LOVE that style.

Anyway,

so I spent at least an hour a few days ago researching (really just google imaging pictures!) my face shape and celebrities with the same or similar shape and then those with a style I could realistically see myself in.

This is what I found and became slightly obsessed with:

Yep.  I made a folder for it and everything...I printed out a page with my "inspirations" and politely handed them to my stylist (who had many tats and blue hair!).

So, a bang I could see myself sporting and a length that's not too short.  I felt like it was a pretty realistic cut, for me.

All of that to say,  I like it but, I am definitely NOT a bangs girl.  They are too much work and they tickle my forehead.  I think once my hair and bangs grow a bit, I will be a bit more comfortable in my new 'do.

What do you think?

P.S.  I felt really awkward taking pictures of myself.  I was definitely NOT going to make the all-too-famous kissy face that so many of us do.  I really wanted to share it with you guys, so you can make fun of me, but if you do, you must leave a comment!

Oh!  I have two sneak peeks for you!!  I am just going to give you one word hints...there will be more later!
