How Low Can You Go?

V-Day Flowers hand delivered by my Hubby

 It's February... the month of love, black history month, and now - the month I always get bangs, LOL.  This is year 2 of the v-day bang (no pun intended) and I'm loving it.  After desiring, wishing, and hoping that I had the balls to change my hair, I finally went through with it... over the course of a couple weeks.

One Saturday night, I started experimenting with how much to cut. As you can see my hair has made a full recovery in the past 8 months -- further proving my theory that the top half of my head is on miracle grow.  The last time I had my v-day bangs, they were very thin and I couldn't do much with them - outside of wearing them as bangs.  And I hated that fact that you could see through them to my forehead.  I wanted thick and luxurious bangs.  With this in mind, I kept moving my part farther and farther back... until I was comfortable.  And then CUT!

I was a wimp...

Yup, that's all I cut, LOL.  I figured I'd see what I can do with a "long layer" in the front, LOL.  So I wore a few styles over the course of the next week, but I didn't see much of  difference from what I had before the cut - hard to imagine, right?  So I decided to give it another try.  This time would be a lot more dramatic.  This time would be a lot more permanent.  This time I would cut a lot more...

So I started again, and kept cutting inch by inch.   Little by little until I found a length that I was comfortable with - and I clipped a few ends in the process...

The final results are not quite "bang length" bangs, but I'm super happy with the result and the styles I've been able to rock.

I can wear my hair down without it being layered!

Or I can curl it up and have hair that looks layered!
