Things got a little hairy…<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cutting bangs is emotional territory; is it really <\/span>just <\/span><\/i>a haircut or is it a desperate cry for help? As one of the only hair decisions that can fundamentally change your look, this is not something one enters into lightly. So when I found myself longingly scrolling through the trendy fringe hairstyles filling my Instagram feed, I decided I should take one for a test drive\u2014enter fake bangs.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just like any other clip-in hair extension, fake bangs come in a plethora of colors so you can find a set that closely matches your hue. Admittedly, finding a perfect match is more difficult than it seems, especially if you\u2019re in that <\/span>awkward growing-out stage of a dye job<\/span><\/a>. But I never intended to wear mine outside the house, so I figured close enough was close enough and hurried home to meet the new me.\u00a0<\/span>Let me tell you, it was love at first sight. If I squinted my eyes just right, I didn\u2019t even notice the mismatched color. The person in the mirror was exactly the kind of quirky gal I’d always known I was. But I still wasn\u2019t sure I wanted to go under the scissors. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

See, I am a lazy girl – I\u2019m all about finding <\/span>the easiest ways to look great<\/span><\/a>. Bangs require a level of dedication that doesn\u2019t exactly vibe with my <\/span>20-minute morning routine<\/span><\/a>. So, they were tossed into the dark abyss that is my makeup bag, and forgotten. Until the day I revealed the contents of that bag<\/a> for a MYSA article. Once that little tuft of fake hair made an appearance, everyone in the office wanted to try it on for size. And I mean everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Watching everyone play with fake bangs made me realize cutting bangs wasn\u2019t such a serious ordeal. It\u2019s only hair after all – it will grow back. So, I booked an appointment and took the plunge. <\/strong><\/p>\n

No ragerts.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
