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December 15, 2009 at 9:23 pmI really really love blunt bangs and would rock them myself if I could, but yours did look outdated wearing them butt-parted like that. Nice haircut!

December 18, 2009 at 11:46 amAt the risk of sounding stalker-ish, I feel the need to confess that as soon as I saw your photo, I printed it out, marched it straight over to my stylist, and said, “THIS.” Lucky for me, my hair is almost exactly the same length, texture, and color as yours, so it was simply a matter of finessing the layers and getting the bangs right. My bangs ended up just a titch shorter than yours, but I am very happy with the overall look.
I’ve been searching for oh, four years or so to find a style that feels “right,” and this is really, really it. Thanks for the inspiration!
