A Re-Introduction
Sep 22^nd, 2005 at 1:34pm

Ok, so I'm not exactly new, but I have been gone from the boards for several months...so I feel that a re-intro might be in order! In my last posts my biggest hair deliberation was whether on not to have some bangs cut in... well folks, bangs it is, and I love them! I went to a good hairdresser and had her razor-cut in some 'sweeping' bangs, it is very complimentary to my face...and my high forehead...and it actually made me enjoy my hair again. It's neat doing all the styles i used to do, but now having bangs. So no regrets there. My hair had finally reached the longest point it had ever been in my life about a month ago, I didn't measure it, but it was a few inches beneath my bra strap, but from letting it grow w/o trimming it, I realized I had some serious split-end issues and my ends were breaking and snapping off. So I took the plunge, hauled my cookies back to the hairdresser, closed my eyes, and told her to take about 4 inches off. Ouch! I miss the length, but I love how healthy it is now, and now I can grow it back with regular trims and KEEP it healthy. I still love using hairsticks, but have not learned any new tricks with them since not visiting the boards, or ANY new hairstyles for that matter. Aye-yi-yi! I had better get my priorities straight! Wink

Well, that's about the long & short of it, I look forward to meeting all the new people that have joined since I've been "missing"! Ciao!

Glad to hear you are happy with your hair, even if that did mean trimming a bit off. Fresh ends can make the growing out go better, especially when there is damage on the ends.

Well not only do i have a high forehead, but a high hairline as well- when i would pull my hair back i felt like i had 'bald temples' and was very self-conscious. Now that i have bangs i feel so much more comfortable wearing my hair up or back. I also like that they are not just the typical straight-across kind of bangs, but more fringey and sweepy like a lot of models are wearing now. Sometimes i will wear them all swept to one side, or i can wear them split or just straight down (the chrissy heinz look!), but i've had them for a few months now and haven't gotten tired of them yet...but that can change....easily. i am a woman, you know!
