Do it! I've had long hair my entire life and two days ago I got the Gwyneth-ish cut from your older post (a wee bit shorter). I love it. It's easier to style than I thought it would be - my hair is kinda "difficult" and wavy (but not in a good way) at the ends - you just need a flat iron. I have a Revlon one that works just fine, none of that $200 BS for me.
I like them both, but I'm still voting for number 1. If it helps, I have number 2 and I am incredibly uncool and suburban mom-esque. In other words, go with number 1.
I recently got this cut, and it works great with fine, straight hair! Best to have a good flatiron on hand to smooth it down a la Nicole, but it also looks good with some waves from a large-barrel curling iron. The sideswept bangs are short enough to look cool, long enough to deal with.
The one downside: you can forget pulling all your hair back out of your face unless you have about 64372 bobby pins.
Definitely prefer this look. Side-swept bangs are Very Sexy. And it's a cut that not everyone has, so you'll stand out. Who wants to look like every other gal on the planet?
I cut my hair like that a few months ago. While I got lots of compliments on it, it took me 2.5 seconds to hate it. No pretty, sleek ponytail on days that I just didn't have time to mess with my hair. No letting it fall into it's natural wavy state when I didn't feel like blow drying and straightening. Just be prepared to *gasp* actually have to do something with your hair EVERY single day.
I got this haircut too and then that's why I started to dislike it--because so did everyone else! But that's just me. It's still super cute. Totally do miss the ponytail though.

ReplyDeletelove it and now all you need is a new eye pencil and voila! bangs or botox baby is what I always say!
ReplyDeleteI love it, but you need to commit to the blowdryer. If you are ready for a long-term commitment with bd, go for it.

ReplyDeleteI had this cut and the bangs are such a pain. I am now in the process of growing them out. I say the first look. I think it would be less work.
ReplyDeleteBoth adorable, though I'd say Gwynnie's might be more manageable. I guess it's a question of bang or no bang?

ReplyDeletei have this hair cut and I love it, super easy to manage. I do miss my ponytail everyonce in while but now i have a great headband collection!
