I decided I wanted a hair change, but didn't want to lose any of the length I've been working on. So I decided to make a change from sparse, long, side-swept bangs to shorter, blunt-cut ones.
I brought this photo of Reese Witherspoon (who is always cute, no matter what hairstyle she's sporting) with me to my hair appointment:
The results:
I'm really happy with how it turned out! I have a few more layers, but overall kept my length. The bangs were a touch difficult to tame with the flat iron at first, but my sister Anna (in the purple/pink dress above) gave me a good tip: flat iron in sections (from front to back) to keep them from being too stick straight or blunt. I will have to get used to styling my hair more often (I often air dry my wavy/curly hair – but that doesn't look so great with these shorter bangs).
I go to Verrilli Hair Studio* (Mary) by Perimeter Mall in Atlanta:

*Verrilli Hair Studio gives me a discount on my cut/color because I've referred business their way. Note: I recommend Mary to my friends because she does a great job and is affordable and customer-service-oriented, not because she gives me a discount.

I love the new look!
Love them on you, Katy! I tried bangs a few years ago because Cath used to rock them so well (we've both grown them out since then). But I'm so inconsistent with styling (i.e. usually too lazy to blow dry and straighten), so I ended up growing them out. Cath is much better at actuallying styling her hair – good to have those sister types around, isn't it?
Thanks Lar (and Jewel!)!
Lar, you’re making me feel better about my typical hair laziness (usually no blowdrying or flat-ironing, even just my bangs). I bet you looked fab with bangs – but you look great now, too!
