I had a glass of wine before my hair appointment a couple days ago. Which is typically no big deal. Except this time when my hairstylist asked me if we were just doing the usual, instead of answering “yes” I blurted out the phrase that likely incites eyerolls and groans in hair salons all across the world: “Actually, I think I’d like to try something different.”
“What did you have in mind,” my stylist asked with remarkable patience and not an eyeroll to be seen.
“Bangs?” the wine in me replied, while grown up in me still had sense enough to turn it into a question. And widen my eyes in terror.
“Are you sure about this?” she asked, looking at my bulging eyes with growing concern.
“No.” I whimpered, squeezing my eyes shut. “Just cut!”
So she did. And now I have bangs. And a bit of a love/hate relationship with chardonnay until the shock wears off.
I blame the wine. The wine made me do it.

I think it looks FABULOUS!!!
It looks good! And if you end up not being a fan of the bangs, you can go for the side-swept look.
At least you can blame the Chardonnay.
Too cute!
no, don’t hate the wine…the bangs look awesome!!!
I like the bangs! They look good on you.
It looks great! smart wine.
Love the bangs! They really emphasize your eyes. I also love your hair color. If I’m brave enough maybe at my next appt, I’ll add some auburn highlights. Does G like your new style?
I love it! And I want to see them side-swept also
You look great. You can pull off anything.
looks cute!
Thanks everyone!
@Virginia–G was out of town when I did this. (Eek!) He got home a couple nights later and just said, “Oh! I definitely notice this haircut.” And that was about it. I’m guessing he’s not too crazy about them.
@Half–I’ll see what I can do for ya, girl! š
Love the bangs – love how they accentuate your eyes! You can have fun with this! Wine is always a good excuse!
I think you look good! I -so- wanted bangs when I went to get my hair cut, but my curly/wavy hair + laziness = never going to actually straighten them so they look decent.
Love it, you look gorgeous, but GET OUT OF TOWN, I was going to do bangs this week!! Now I’ll look like I copied you. *pout*
I REALLY, REALLY like it!! I think it looks so “grown-up” and modern looking. I think it was a great move. Good for you on trying something different!
I really, really like it! It looks amazing.
OOOO I’ve always thought your hair would look great with bangs! Keep them keep them they look great!
Your bangs rock.
I’ve actually been planning to get bangs, but waiting for my hair to grow a little more.
Maybe I’ll blame it on the wine, too! š
You now have another reason to drink wine, because your bangs look fantastic!!!
I think your hair looks great D! I really like the color too-very vibrant!

I love it! Super cute.
They are CUTE!
I think the bangs are great. They frame your face very nicely. I often go to my hairdresser and blurt out “Massiomo, I want to do something different”. The change is always difficult to look at, but then as the complements start pouring in you realize your hairdresser “and you wine alter ego” know what they are doing.
Take care,
Lisa
P.S did you color it too? I think this do could definately win the heart of our beloved Edward š
Thanks for posting about your hair. It made me search for my old hair dresser! I found him! It’s been over a year since I’ve been to him, filling my hair appointments with empty fillers who don’t measure up. SO excited, thanks!
take care,
Lisa
Very cute!
As a punishment to the wine, you should definitely drink more!
JK though, I think you’re totally rocking them.
I love them! You’re bangin’!
It looks very nice!
Love them, they look fabulous!
You look amazing! They really frame your gorgeous eyes. Good call, wine.

Wow! Thanks for all your sweet comments everyone! It’s been almost a week now, and I go back and forth b/w loving them and hating them. But after reading all your comments I think one things for sure–I have incredibly complimentary readers!! Thank you so much!!
