I followed the majority and cut sideswept bangs.
First off, can we talk about how almost 1,400 people voted on the state of my bangs? 1,400 people. I had to double-check to make sure duplicate votes weren’t counted, because 1400 PEOPLE, YOU ALL. I LOVE YOU.
Looking solely at the vote, I would say you all were very clear regarding your intentions with my hair. (Dear Sarah’s father, I plan on spending the rest of my life with Sarah’s bangs.) BUT! The comments! The comments were all pretty much, “we love your blunt bangs! Keep your blunt bangs! Sideswept are for sissies!”
Confusion ensued! What’s a gal to do?
I had to be practical. If my blunt bangs looked like this photo most of the time, I would have kept them. However, they usually looked like this. Butt-part blunts, I liked to call them. So, I went back to the sideswept look, but kept them short enough that the bangs fall down on my forehead instead of sweeping across like a long layer.
p.s. – I love them and am very happy. Thank you for leading me down the righteous path!
p.p.s. – I filmed a tutorial this weekend for folica.com, so you can check out the bangs on video if you so desire.
p.p.p.s. – I’m giving away THREE styling irons from Sedu’s Precious Metal Collection later this week. Stay tuned!

December 14, 2009 at 8:35 amEVERY CHRISTMAS…you get bangs. It’s like tradition.
(oh and either way I’m just impressed that you can pull off bangs because I sure as hell cannot. Remind me to tell you the story of that one time I cut my own bags. It involves the use of Nair.)
(I like your bangs!)

December 14, 2009 at 9:18 amLike you, I really loved my blunt bangs. Also like you, they tended to part on their own (thanks, cowlick). And finally like you, I went back to the side-swept ones.
You look gorgeous any way you wear your hair. :)

December 14, 2009 at 11:48 amI voted for sideswept also! The same thing happened to me with blunt bangs (the weird part). I wanted a WALL OF BANGS but it never worked out.
Anyway, you are lovely as always!

December 14, 2009 at 1:10 pmI actually voted for bluntness, but gotta say that with your sideswept locks you look positively angelic! Good choice.

December 14, 2009 at 2:59 pmYour hair is so beautiful! Gah! Love the sideswept.
Your hairdresser needs to do a video tutorial on how she cuts your bangs. I show my hairdresser pictures, and she never gets it right. Maybe it’s just because I don’t have your hair. “It’s a pair of scissors, not a magic wand, honey!”

December 15, 2009 at 12:43 amYou look great!
I voted sideswept, but I didn’t leave a comment because I couldn’t articulate why I liked them better… I just did! Even looking perfect I still liked sideswept better. :)

December 15, 2009 at 1:37 amabsolutely beautiful! I voted side swept. I’ve had both–but in end end, it’s so much easier and that’s what we all want from our beauty regimes. We look good to enjoy looking good, not to spend time getting the look.
looking forward to the next giveaway!

December 15, 2009 at 12:32 pmYour picture makes me miss my long hair. I recently got a chin length bob – which my fine hair loves – but with a winter hat (one that actually covers my ears) I look like a chemo patient. Good thing hair grows!
