Literally. I got a hair cut Sunday afternoon, I told them it’s just for a trim. But like I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve never had a good experience with hair stylist in this country town. I don’t know why. All I wanted was just a simple trim for my hair and more ‘sweepies’. I’d like to keep my hair long. Instead, they cut about 2 inches of my hair and gave me bangs. It’s not that I dislike bangs -I do believe it’ll look cute for some people- but the last time I had bangs was like seventeen years ago! I’m not used to see my face in the mirror with bangs.
“Soooooo… what do you think?” asked the hair stylist.
“Umm, okay. Eh heh,” I replied with a weak laugh.
“Your hair is so fine. If you don’t like the bangs go this way, just use a hair product and put it sideways like so,” she said as she applied some kind of hair pomade to my bangs and thugged them to the side to create ‘sweepies’.
I really didn’t want to spend extra money on hair products. Especially if it’s just for the bangs. I’ve had too many hair products already, from the Sunsilk Anti Flat’s collection. I know it’s not the hair products like Redken, American Crew, Aquage, or Biosilk. But I’m happy with my cheapo Sunsilk, and it helps.
So when I got home, hubby who’s never seen me with bangs since the first time we met, commented, “Hey… nice bangs!”
“Oh shut up.”
“Why? You look great.”
“For some reason, you don’t sound very convincing.”
“It’s just… different, hun. You’ll get used to it.”
“Really… shush.”
Then comes Monday. Getting ready to go to work. It took freakin’ 15 minutes for me to get the freakin’ bangs right. I usually put some Sunsilk Anti Flat Weightless Volumizing Creme on my damp hair after shower, and just leave my hair air-dried (or occasionally hair dry it when I have extra time). But for some reason, the bangs won’t cooperate with me this morning. No matter what I do, it’s just not right!
Grrr…
LOL. Ohmigod this is so spooky. My bangs (Yes I have a few of those) have grown longer and the hair strands have started to poke through my eyes, so being the typical cheapskate I am, I cut them by myself with whatever pair of scissors that I got.
And now I freaking look like Ms. Swan. Somehow I manage to cut them blunty and when tried to create layers, I made it look even blunter than before. I have to keep using one of those freaking hair clips to make em look sweeped to the sides.
I’m trying to grow my hair – oh God the tedium. I’m tempted to go to the hairdresser already. But when I wanted to have a haircut, my fave hairdresser resigned and she was nowhere to be found.
I dread the quest of finding the perfect hairdresser again – too many bad experiences, do you see?
he he he… i soooooo feel you. i know it’s such a small thing, but could you imagine starting your day fidgeting with bangs for 15 mins and was having a hard time with it? it’d ruin my day already!
btw, your pic with anita mckay, your hair looks cute! love the bangs!
omigod, i too hate going to hairdressers!!! I go like once a year to get my hair trimmed. but i cut my bangs myself and color it myself, blow dry it straight myself etc (my hair is very curly and long, imagine mariah carey circa ‘vision of love’ that’s my hair)
i have had some nightmarish experiences with hairdressers and am very careful not to have one again. hopefully never.
but now my hair is halfway down my back, the last time i had a trim was almost a year ago, i think it’s time to have another one but there are like no good hairdressers here that i know! sucks.
masa sih mesti ke spanyol atau itali cuma utk potong rambut doang? soalnya disana bagus2 hairdressersnya.. damn it
(ooh, watch adam sandler’s new movie ‘dont mess with the zohan’!! if a hairdresser like that exists, then i might risk my hair to have that kind of ‘service’ lol)
Din, that picture was my hair and bangs BEFORE the self-attempt to cut.
Shall I post the AFTER picture? LOL
ihihihihihi.. sorry dear. i’ll post mine if you post yours. wait.. wait… no, let’s not do that :p
Haven’t had a bang for years, because I’m too lazy to maintain it. It’s much easier having my hair on the same length I could go to a hairdresser once every 6 months…
Haven’t found a good one in Scotland either. Lucky I’m back to Indo every six months…
But talking about a bad hair day…. here’s mine 🙂
Diny,
Gimana udah biasa dgn ponynya ngga?
@lorraine: iya… udah terbiasa *kok kayak lagunya kris dayanti yah* makasih yen, for checking up on me 🙂
Soalnya gw juga 2 tahun lalu sempet punya pony, terus dipanjangin lagi. Repot, pagi2 stylingnya makan waktu banyak..
