New haircut | I got bangs for the first time

Every once in a while, it’s great to get a new haircut, to try a completely different style. I’ve been wanting to change my hairstyle for quite some time now, but I can never figure out what I want… I tend to fall in love with complex haircuts that require a lot of maintenance but I really don’t have the time or the patience for that. I am VERY low maintenance when it comes to my hair!

So whenever I go to see my hairstylist and hope to get a new haircut, I always end up asking for a cut that I won’t need to style every morning and that will look good with very little maintenance. Boring. Nonetheless, I always end up with a cut that I love, but I just wish I would dare something a tiny bit edgier.

Inspiration : Kelly Osbourne

That was until I stumbled upon this picture of Kelly Osbourne, from around 2014 I believe.

It was love at first sight! I mean… The cut, the colour, the makeup : everything is perfect! I automatically imagined myself with this hairstyle and even the colour (remember I used to have purple hair?). I thought this would probably remain just a dream because I wasn’t sure if this would suit my face shape and lifestyle. But hey, a girl can dream, right? Update: I now have purple hair, yay!

Chop chop time!

I had been eyeing this picture for years now, and last spring, I decided to talk to my hairstylist about it. She recommended I try this new haircut in the fall, simply because bangs can be very annoying in the summer. So I listened to her advice and waited patiently. Until last week 🙂 I wasn’t sure I would dare to cut my bangs, simply because I’ve never had them in twenty-something years of existence. But I did it, thanks to my hairstylist who gave me amazing advice, once again!

Life after bangs

I was so scared to wash and dry my hair for the first time after cutting my bangs… But everything turned out ok! However, I did learn a few things…

  • You cannot wash your face whenever you want, or you risk ruining your bangs
  • Your bangs will become more rapidly oily than the rest of your hair
  • You don’t need to wear foundation on your forehead anymore, yay!
  • Applying a sheet mask requires a little planning ahead
  • The wind is your new enemy
