Lets start with a Bang-s

I realize that this is a deep subject for my first blog. To choose the topic of hair styles as you enter the world as blogger shows just how shallow one can be. However, whether you have or don't have bangs is important.

Bangs say a lot about someone's face. Some women must have bangs, if you are one of those people you know what I mean. Others can go with out. I am one that has never really had bangs. I've had longer hair most of my life and there with the frumpy locks I have been a "tuck behind the ear kind of girl". I have had short hair once - but it was short and there were no clear bangs other than the short follicles that fell to the side of my face. It was a very bad hair year. There are very few images from that year that document my short hair and I do not own those images. I tend to block that time in my life when the curling iron became a permanent appendage.

Today and the days that proceeded have been better and more enjoyable as far as hair memories - no curling irons just, long wash and dry hair. And I will probably keep my long hair for at least a little while longer, I refuse to give into the working girl perky flipped up hair. I'm not there yet. But I might be ready for BANGS. My hair goal is to have hair similar to the actress named Sarah Rue on ABC's less than perfect. She flaming red hair that's long and pinned up on the sides with bangs. I'm always changing by hair color so I'm not hesitant about the color. I am afraid of a girls worst nightmare - unwanted forehead hair for at least a year. The long tedious process of growing bangs out. Pinning, clipping and spraying the short hair and trying to become once again the "tuck behind the ear kind of girl". But the fear of bangs is overcome by my unwavering need for change and just plain curiosity. I will sit in the salon chair this evening and "frame my face with hair" and hope that it will "bring out my eyes".

Lets hope for the best...after all it's just hair.
