hair wars

Nothing like having professional portraits taken for work to make you realize you need a hair change ASAP! I was able to get into my girl last minute yesterday evening and had her add some low lights to darken my color (it was getting too brassy), cover those nasty gray hairs (AGAIN, it's only been 3 weeks since my last color) and add layers to lighten up the thick and heaviness around my face.

Voila~ bangs and layers.
The section of bangs is small enough that I can still work them into my hair and hide them or straighten them in front for a fringy look. I kept the length but had lots of layers added throughout my hair. I have very thick and coarse hair and I struggle with wanting to keep it longer so it weighs it down and isn't so big and poofy, and having layers to keep the movement and lighten up the heaviness.




Bangs are always so controversial aren't they? People love them or hate them, my hubby is in the 'hate them' category.




Here are some inspiration pics for my new do.


I love Nicole Richie's hair in the 2 photos below:

Side swept bangs with beachy waves:

Any hair changes going on in your world? I know we were all in clean and purge mode right after the new year so now it's on to more superficial things like hair and spring fashion I guess. ☺

  4. Your hair looks great! I know you say that your thick hair may be hard to manage, but what I would do for some lovely thick hair to hold a style and shape. I've been blessed with fine, poker-straight hair that can't hold a style - I call it baby hair. argh!

  7. You are so darling
    that you can wear
    bangs or not and
    look great!

    I have always had
    straight hair but it
    has gotten wavier
    in the last few years
    and I'm now going
    with it, instead of
    fighting it. I got a
    few layers and just
    scrunch product in
    it, air dry and voila!
    So freeing not to have
    to use the roller brush
    and blow-dryer.

    Happy Wednesday,
    xx Suzanne

    I'm trying to let my hair grow out. It's been YEARS....We'll see how long I can keep this up. :)

  13. Your bangs do set off your eyes just beautifully, T! Can I say that they make you look younger....? lol! Bangs can hide a multitude of wrinkles and bring out eyes and cheekbones so nicely. LUV them on you, girl!

  16. I just chopped mine off! Almost went with bangs, but going so short was a big enough change for one sitting. :) xo!
