To Bang or Not to Bang




Alright, I realize the title of that post is misleading. But it would take more effort than I'm willing to give to come up with another one so let's move past that.


A dear sweet friend of mine (and please be advised that by dear sweet friend I mean slug-sucking wench whom I will smack once I am in smacking distance) decided that I should have bangs. And then she recruited people to her cause on Twitter. And before you know it I had Beyonce hair. ON TWITTER. And then KD Lang hair. ON TWITTER.


This is what fucking happens when you give people Facebook photo access.


At any rate, I'm not convinced. I'm thinking I want to get some clip-in bangs and see how that looks before I commit myself to resembling a Chinese school boy. Because of the WIDEFACEITIS I have. Please note the look of skepticism on my face in the last photo.


Only...someone tell me where to get not ugly not expensive black clip-in bangs please?

Oh yeah...the KD Lang look is definitely for you...LMAO Thanks for the heads up about Facebook access! I wonder what the hell my friends are doing with my pics now?

Bangs have cuteness potential, but might I suggest that you steer clear of the KD Lang hair. I'm just saying.

Moonspun said...

Um....not sure about the short kd hair. But I always have the same bang dilemma, it's been about 6 years since I have had them...I had no idea you could by clip on bangs. That's seems a bit scary to me!

Bangs are a royal PAIN IN THE ASS!!!! The constant upkeep, cuz if they grow just a smidge too long they look all fuckered and throw off the whole style thing.

I am a big NO BANGS kinda girl.... I have framing layers ... sorta... longer like between cheekbone and jaw line.

BANGS SUCK!!!!

Just sayin'

Biddy said...

first of all, you dirty trashbag, you SENT me that picture for HAIR purposes! I cannot be held responsible for defamation...ok I can...whatever

2nd? if you do bangs, please please please PLEASE do long sidewept bangs. the short, straight across the forehead bangs make me want to club baby seals.

3rd, that's not KD Lang hair. it's dude from Twilight hair. sheesh!

4th? I luff you long time

Badass Geek said...

My vote is no. I think you're smokin' just the way you are.

Lorin said...

Long side swept bangs, FTW. It'll look very similar to what you have going right now, but it'll add an extra somethin'-somethin'. :D

Bangs? Not feelin' it.

TentCamper said...

I got no help for you....I came solely for the title. Thinking about suing for false advertising.

Omg. I was unaware bangs were so despised. I totally have your hair (ie, long, straight and black)and I have bangs. Bangs rock! (though, I do feel compelled to say that you must ALWAYS straighten your hair, or it looks a bit 'tarded. But having read your previous posts, I know you would miss the second coming of the lord in the pursuit of starightness, so, I'm not worried about you.!)

Bangs are usually a mistake. A decision you regret later.

Like dating some high-maintenance loser you went out with once on a whim because you were looking for a change and he hangs around way longer than he should and it takes months and months to finally dump him and later you look at photos and say, "WTF was I thinking?"

But maybe that's just me. OK, that metaphor sucks.

You could totally rock the long, side swept look.

Megan said...

i would go with the longer swept to the side bangs. Short bangs are a pain in the ass, especially when you decide to let them grow out. some serious bitchassness there.

Miss Grace said...

I have the side swept bangs, and I like them a lot.

Queen of Feisty said...

No bangs.

Danielle said...

Long whispy bangs maybe. You have a great face and I am sure anything will look great!

Jennifer said...

Bangs are seriously evil. Do not go there. Really. I'm pretty sure you will hate them. Besides you really are full of hotness just the way you are... do you really wanna go messin with that?
Oh, and I'm new here, so this is sort of an introduction I guess. And you do not have a wide face, what are you talkin about?

KK said...

They make clip in bangs? I had no idea...I wonder how many people are walking around in fake hair and I never even know.

WannabeVirginia W. said...

Let me tell you about my damn bangs... I made a HUGE mistake of cutting the framed wispy look, for a while I had bangs (just the name alone makes me shudder!) it became so annoying that it would sit on my forehead and felt like I had some some shit crawling of my forehead so I pinned them for a while and sported the humpy bangs look, don't ask! So never again with the bangs they should be outlawed like the mullet! Oh and the first set of photos the one on the left looks fabulous.

Lauren @ MOMMY IS ROCK N ROLL said...

I love my bangs! I think you'd look smokin' either way. I am usually too busy looking at your tits to notice how you've done your hair.

Melissa said...

No Bang! Your hair is gorgeous. You will totally regret it.

Like someone else said above, not only do they look goofy on anybody over the age of 10, it makes you feel like you have bugs crawling on your forehead.

Sure, cut some long layers in the front, as long as the shortest layer is long enough to get into a ponytail withour sticking up straight.

Karina in T.O said...

NO BANGS!!! You know who has bangs? Girls with foreheads as big as beaches, Frankenstien foreheads!! I HAVE bangs, because I MUST have bangs! Your hair is gorg....and it usually looks like you have long sideswept almost bang action anyway. So NO, DON'T DO IT! DON'T CHOP OFF TO GET BANGS! Have I yelled enough yet??? sigh

Displaced Southerner said...

No bangs is my vote. You look really good that way!

jineen said...

um, i would say maybe on the bangs, but everytime i consider them persoanlly it lasts all of a few days and then i snap out of it....def no on the kd lang:)
don't worry you are a sexy b**ch either way:)

Al_Pal said...

You look pretty gorgeous in all the pics, really. I'm a fan of the sideswept bangs, if you want some.
aka "face framing layers"

Mine are chin length now but have been as short as mid-cheekbone. I did make mullet jokes when they were that short.

& yeah, wide face? Not so much. At the cheekbone, maybe, but I got a whole lotta cheek. Unless it is you sucking your cheeks in while you pout, pretty sure your face isn't that wide. ;p

PS I just started following you on twitter cuz Grace said I should. follow me back please? Al_Pal.
Thanks!

You are simply beautiful no matter but I prefer the No bangs...

Words of 'wisdom' from the Rummy One (and various people I've stolen from)

I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Some people are like slinkys; they serve no useful purpose, but they do make you smile when they tumble down the stairs.
When I was a kid we had a sandbox. Actually it was a quicksand box. I was an only child...eventually.
It's a mistake to think you can solve any major problems with just potatoes.
You know what I miss? I miss the old days, when I'd think up a sinister scheme for world domination and friends would show a little emotional support. I mean come on now....really.
Let me make one thing perfectly clear to you: I have absolutely no idea how this sentence I'm currently writing is going to finish. When and if it does, I can only hope it makes some kind of coherent ceramic pineapple vibraphone.
