marydellSo, I'm growing out my bangs. I haven't attempted this in many a year (having consistently been a short-hair person for nearly a decade prior to my current long-hairness) and whenever I did attempt it in the past, I would give up and cut my bangs again as soon as they got to the extremely-lank stage. My hair's a little thicker these days, thanks to depo-provera I think, so it approaches the thickness of your average very young child's hair. I'll take what I can get. Anyway my bangs now end just around the tip of my nose, so I pin them back on the "wide" side of my part, and just kind of swipe at them on the "narrow" side of my part. Pinning back both sides is a hassle and looks dorkier than just the one side, sort of. With the understanding that "dorky" is the starting point for my particular look, and it just increases exponentially as I fiddle with it.
Anyway, I've been pleased with the general good behavior of the eventually-to-be-former bangs, except that right now my whole left cheek is totally broken out. Like some Batman villain called Dr. Acne shot me in the face with his acne gun. This is another thing I can thank the depo-provera for, but also apparently having my hair touch my face, ever, makes my skin totally crazy.
So now I'm rocking almost the exact look I had when I was 14 years old, except my glasses are a lot smaller and my eyebrows have had several stern talkings-to over the years, such that they are now well-behaved. [edit: and without the benefit of retouching IRL, alas for my skin] If I continue the cycle, I suppose I will have to move along to a mullet in a couple of years. Dorkiness forever!
