I have thin, limp, blonde hair. It takes more than an ounce of product and at least 20 minutes of serious blowdrying to get it to "shape up." I long for bouncy, curly hair, but understand that it comes with baggage, too. My awesome stylist of 5 years, David, offered to do my hair for the wedding, but I have to follow his rules. David is the best, flamboyant, hair-stylist I ever stumbled upon. Never would I dream of cheating on him. I honestly trust this guy with my hair's life, and will do whatever he says (within reason). Here are his prerequisites for my wedding-hair:
1) grow it out (fine, ok. Mike loves long hair anyways)
2) grow out the bangs (ugh, ok, if I must...I've had them for 3 years anyways)
3) highlights (only about a month prior to the big day, therefor no upkeep - I can do that)
That's not so bad! But to give you an idea of where I've come from here's a photo history.
The Evolution of My Hair:
July '06
-shoulder length
-long straight hair
April '07
-broken foot
-short bob
July '08
-shoulder(ish) length hair
-longer bangs (b/c I was too lazy to get them trimmed before our trip to London/Barcelona)
April '09
-shoulder length
-shorter bangs
Dec '09
-slightly longer?
-bangs
-I'm sensing a trend
-perhaps it's time for change?
March '10
-longer?
-I insisted on my last bang trim before our engagement photo shoot
Wow, is it time for a new hair style, or WHAT?!
The things you learn about yourself through blogging, I swear!
Are you in need of a hair-change?
What's your hair trend?

I think you look great w/ bangs! I a bang-girl myself- my stylist is always pleading me to grow mine out, but I just can't- I love them!
ReplyDeleteBut I like your hair now!
ReplyDeletethat's quite a history! and growing out bangs is the worst - they look good on you!
ReplyDeleteI like ya with bangs too. I think they frame your face well. I am sure you will look fabulous on your wedding day, bangs or no :) Chitty chitty bang bang LOL
ReplyDeletehahaha i love your bangs but thats just me! I have had bangs since i was in junior high and i just started growing them out this month. Its been hard but i am loving it! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks all - I think growing out bangs is a pain, but we're going for "long sweeping side bangs" in the future
ReplyDeleteMike, my hair isn't getting cut - relax. This is the interim stage -- if you like it now, just wait a couple months! (Plus you don't get much of a say) ;)
Can't wait to see how your hair evolves for your wedding day! I think you will look great with the highlights and side sweep bangs!
ReplyDeleteI think you look cute in all the pics. Can't wait to see your wedding hair! Stopping by from SITS
ReplyDeleteI can't pull off the bangs look as well as you can. Whenever I feel like I need to change my hair I color it. I can't chop it off anymore because every time I do I bawl for hours afterwards. I'm emotional with a pinch of dramatic. Wee!
ReplyDeleteHey there! Happy SITS potluck day! I like your hair with bangs but I bet it will be exciting growing it out for awhile. I'm growin out my bangs and I like it but I kind of wish I could have em sort one day and long the next, don't you?
ReplyDeleteGreat blog! Happy wedding planning!
