Hair today, gone tomorrow

So I thought it was time to get a haircut since the last one I had was two months ago and I was the one that cut it. (Jessica is probably laughing by now, I'm sure this brings back memories of me cutting my own bangs and failing miserably.) Lets just say there is a reason why I didn't go into cutting hair. And yes you heard me right...I had bangs. You can all laugh now. Not only is it funny that I had bangs, but it's that I had bangs up until 3 years ago that makes it even funnier. You may all laugh harder now. My sweet friend Jessica, who used to cut my hair, tried MANY times to get me to grow my bangs out. Finally her persistence paid off. So along with growing my bangs out I decided to see just how long my hair could get.

Well I said I wouldn't cut my hair until Nate graduate's from school (Don't ask me why, I think it's quite odd myself) but I couldn't hold out any longer. 9 months shy of graduation I decided it was time. So here you have it, the before and after pictures (which I hate) but for the sake of blogging I had to put them in.

First off lets start with my "bang days". They could be classified in 3 different categories; 1st we have the "bad bang days", this would be when the bangs would fall completely flat and the bangs did not reach the full potential of the "arch" to give the full effect of the bangs. 2nd category is the "mediocre bang days". These were the days where the bangs had sufficient arch but the curl was bad. The bangs weren't spread evenly across the forehead but still it was good enough to give it the sassy-ness needed to pull off the bangs. And last we have the "freakin' awesome bang days". These days would go a little something like this, "Oh my gosh, look at her bangs, they are so big. She must be one of those hot guys girlfriends!" And then Nate would follow in by saying, "I like big bangs and I can not lie, no other brother can deny. When a girl walks in with an itty-bitty face and some big bangs in your face you get...." I'll let you fill in the rest. But you get the idea.

Here I am in all my glory during the bang days. This would be considered a "mediocre bang day". I must say, I think I pulled it off quite nicely. Wouldn't you agree? And check out the serious yet sassy look on my face. That is a face only someone with bangs could pull off...Nate is one lucky man.

Here I am post bang days practicing my modeling skills. I know you're thinking with modeling skills such as mine, I could probably model for Kmart or Walmart...I will consider that.
My hair has never been this long. The unfortunate thing about my hair being this long is that it spent most of it's time up in a pony tail.
And here you have it, the end result. I hope I didn't make a mistake cutting it. And if you noticed there's a little bit a bangs...just for old time sakes.
(Now this is the part where you reassure me I did the right thing by cutting my hair)
