My New 'Do

In preparation for a new life ahead of me in the States, I decided to get a makeover. I've had side bangs for the longest time so I went for full bangs to enhance the oval shape of my face. I had with me a photo of Anne Hathaway sporting rainbow bangs from The Devil Wears Prada. Seeing that the texture of my hair is far different from hers, the hairstylist and I agreed on full bangs instead. He quickly concurred when I confessed about not befriending the blow dryer. After staring at it long and hard at the parlor, I realized that the textured fringe brings balance to my face and creates even more of an oval feel to it. I was being a broken record in reminding the hairstylist that I wanted the length of my bangs to be below the eyebrow and just above the eyelid.

I didn't want to walk out of the parlor looking like this:

Lil' Kim, you're a hot tamale but que horror! You're not rocking that mess.

I left the parlor with a smile and new bangs to soften my features.

I attribute my look to Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada.
Sheer happy and elegant.

  3. @TheFeminissima Thank you! You should do so! With the length of my bangs, I can always sweep them to the side if I wake up one day and hate the bangs. :))
    @Jenroxursox84 Please don't get bangs like mine because that'll make you look even younger than I originally though. :)) Side swept bangs are sexy too or add layers to your hair. :) Thank you!
