OK, first of all, thank you so much to all of you who commented on my hair trial post. Your kind words of encouragement and tips on how to better communicate with my hairstylist were (as always) greatly appreciated!

I have to admit though, I was keeping something from you, and unfortunately, I think some of you caught on (ahem, Spaniel). The truth is, as much as I was confused about whether or not I liked the back of my hair, I knew that I didn’t like the front - which is why I didn’t include any pictures of my face in the post.

Here is what it looked like:

I am seriously awkward here. Any tips on taking decent looking self portraits?

Now, in the stylist’s defense, I did tell her that I wanted my hair like this.

I wanted it simple and classic, but after seeing this pictures, I just don’t like it. It looks so… slicked back.

This experience has me questioning my hair choices. You see, I have had bangs in some shape or form for most of my life. I even had the ugly, thick, bangs that seemed to be all the rage in the early ’90s. Kind of like this, except less styled:

As soon as Mr. P and I got engaged, I decided that I would begin to grow out my bangs. I felt that this would make my style choices more versatile and classic. However, seeing the pictures from my hair trial, I am starting to miss the way my bangs look in an up do. Just take a look:

Sister P, Puddin’ Pops, and me

Now keep in mind that the two pictures of me aren’t really comparable: one is a casual pic with bad lighting, while the other has me dressed up and in full makeup. If I were to try the no bang look again, I would ask for a style more like the one Catherine is sporting here:

So, I turn to you, hive, with the ever important question: Bangs, or no bangs?
