Note to self: cut your bangs

Or, rather, have them cut by a professional. Stay *away* from the mustache scissors.

    and a note to me!
    but how do you think bangs and a veil mesh?
    could be cool, could be bad.

    I grew my bangs out for the wedding even though I didn't wear a veil. It was fucking hell, but my stylist told me the pictures might feel dated later. That said, I thought Christine looked awesome: http://tiny.cc/vUzgS

    hmmm ... no one ever told me there might be an issue with bangs and a veil ... not that i would have listened. i finally went for bangs about 5 years ago and i am keeping them forever!

    I have blunt bangs, and the woman who cuts my hair advised me that if I felt the need to trim my own bangs (which, clearly, I do), I should never just cut straight across my forehead but instead position the scissors perpendicular to my eyebrows and make tiny cuts up into my bangs until they reached the length I want. Works brilliantly.

    Hmmm... I apologize if I've just become an enabler of your bad bang cutting habit, but, hey, if you're gonna do it, might as well do it well!

    I have bangs and bad things happen when I try to cut them...including snipping off part of my eyelashes. Not sure how that happened, but it looked WEIRD. My hair stylist looked at my bangs and shouted, WHO DID THIS? WHO DID THIS TO YOU?! like she was going to hunt the perp down and whup his ass. I didn't tell her it was my own fault because I was too scared.

    I desperately want bangs, but apparently my forehead doesn't. Every time I've tried it I've ended up looking ridiculous (I think my forehead is too small, so the bangs end up being too short and looking like an elementary school kid's bad haircut). My hairstylist finally told me to give up the dream.

    Rachel, that's so funny. My forehead is huuuge which is why I need em. (I'm with cevd on forever.) Don't know why I didn't just get married in em but I guess I'll just obsess about it for the rest of my life. Ah, when stylist becomes friend how much power she can exert.

    p.s. swu, don't encourage me. I also *think* I know how, but I get yelled at when I do it. P, thank you for the horror story. It helps.

    bangs were moustaches before moustaches were moustaches. i, being a little late to the party, just got some bangs last month. but, if i do say so myself, they're hott.

    Made a hair appointment for tomorrow. Bangs *never* go out of style. (And they will hide the wrinkles that are appearing on my forehead.)
