In the interest of full disclosure, we must tell you that the road to bangs is not without obstacles

I won’t presume to know what shape your personal betterment takes. Maybe it’s physical, professional, emotional. Maybe you don’t feel the need to change anything at all.
Bangs are both classic and ever so slightly edgy, practical and whimsical, a sweet little curtain of hair for your forehead. They give you a “look” without you having to learn how to create a “look.” This last point was the most compelling for me, personally, and is the reason I got bangs this fall .
Briefly, I considered bleaching my hair into an icy blonde oblivion, but the high cost of going and staying blonde turned me off, as did my fear that the repeated application of hydrogen peroxide would fry my already flimsy tresses and leave me looking like Beetlejuice. Then one day, just as I was resigning myself to a life of hair that looks like stale coffee tastes, my co-worker told me about a crush of hers, French New Wave muse Juliet Berto.
In the interest of full disclosure, I must tell you that the road to bangs is not without obstacles. When I announced my hair plans to my parents, my father dropped his head and mumbled, “Oh no…” and my mother said, “It’ll be fine!” in a really high-pitched voice. When I told the guy I was seeing at the time, he laughed, and then we never saw each other again, which may have been because we were emotionally incompatible, or may have been because of the bangs.
