Bangs: Yay or Nah?

Tonight I’m going to go get my hair cut. Its been long overdue and I am desperate for a trim and a bit of a new style.

Its about this long right now and I’m sticking to the same colour…but all I can think about are bangs. Should I get them or not? Will they grow out by Summer?

I’d love to have ones like this, but don’t know if I can pull them off.

I also love Jennifer Garner’s look. She always has great bangs.

Maybe something like Ashley Olsen, with them more swept to the side.

I like these ones, but I think that length would get in my eyes all the time.

I love Kate’s hair on The Small Things. Her bangs are fun but not heavy in her face. If you’re looking for amazing tutorials for hair check her blog out!

After much web searching, I decided to try the InStyle Hollywood Hair Virtual Makeover, which lets you test out different celebrity hairstyles. Please ignore the lack of makeup on my face or the super pale skin (hello Canadian winter!) If you’re looking for something fun to do, give this a whirl. I’m sticking to my normal hair colour, but this even lets you test out different hair colours with highlights and lowlights too.

First up I tried the Jennifer Garner side swept bangs.

Here is the Ashley Olsen look, with bangs that blend in more with her layers.

What about a deeper side part like Emma Stone?

These Eva Mendez bangs look a bit too curled under.

I always love Reese Witherspoon’s hair and these side bangs are pretty cute, but I think I’ll stick to something that covers a bit more forehead.

While playing around with the virtual makeover, I shared this piece of Napoleon cake with Garrett. I picked it up at Issac’s Bakery in Toronto on my way home last night. If you’re looking for a nut free Jewish bakery in Toronto this is the place to go. They make awesome challah bread as well, although I picked up a loaf of their rye bread for sandwiches this week and its pretty good too.

Another highlight of the evening was catching up on “Once Upon A Time”. Its probably my favourite new show of the year. Talking about great hair, Jennifer Morrison always has awesome hair on the show. Must be nice to have stylists on set. I wonder if I could get that at home too 🙂
