  • Life With Bangs..

    Bangs another word for fringe is what i have been living with for almost most of my life now and only recently i have been growing them out. This is my story with bangs.

    Since the age of 3 I have my tomboy hair cut also known as the monkey cut ( short all around with bangs ) untill the age of 12. Watching the side swept bangs I felt jelous because there was only one think I could do with my bangs, well not really anything. I couldnt pin it back becuse it was to short. I couldnt side sweep it because it was to thick and so on and so forth. I got so used to my bangs that i felt almost horrifid to pin it back infron of people. When I needed to trim my bangs my mum or grandma would do it.But they would cut it short which made me even more nervous becuae my forehead was showing.

    My mum always used to say i had a "big forehead" like my dads mums. This made me a little selfconsious. well done Mommy Dearest.

    By the time I was in 10 my bangs started to get in the way of things. People started to say I would need to get glasses for my eyes. Come to think of it I think I would look rather safisticated with a pair now. I had wavy hair so keeping my bangs straight was almost imposible, especialy with out a hair straightner which my over protective mum wouldnt alow me to buy. It was in her mind that my hair would look stupid staright and I would damage it and my hair will start to fall out by the time I was married '' Lord Help me ".

    It was my first dance, and my best friend Sarah invited me, yes me, to get done up at a spa and saloon. We got our toes and fingers done up. And my hair straightened. I came home to put on my dress when my mum saw me with my long brown hair with my straight bangs.

    That summer holiday I got my hair permently straigtened. but I still had my bangs and my hair hair started to grow out which made my bangs look stupid! It was my second year in highschool and I audistioned for a role in a musical. I scored a lead as Ms.Darbus but my character needed me to put my bangs back. In front of every one. EVERY ONE. This made me so scared. I would refuse to go on stage at times. but by the end of the play and once we had finished with 'East High Musical' I was so used to it and I  grew my hair out and am so used to it.And I don't miss my bangs. And I don't care about the "you look so weird" and the " You look so different". They say this because they are no used to it. Without my bangs I feel brighter. And happier.

    Have you ever been put down by your bangs? And what was it like with out them?
