diary of a {do}

I hesitate to write this post only because it's all about my hair, which ironically looks
eerily identical to the friend's hair that I just met for the first time
and just posted about here.
No, I am not a stalker, escaped from a Lifetime Original movie...
I just look quite similar to a friend...not so weird is it?
No...I didn't think so.
********************************************************************

On with the hair...
I've never been extremely daring with my hair.
I've never dyed it crazy colors or chopped it into a pixie cut or anything like that.
But here's a few pages from my hair diary to share more.






I'll interject here....
I love a good change and my hair has been the same forever.
My thoughts were some long sweepy bangs I could maybe clip back if
I didn't feel like having them on a certain day.
But I forget with my girl, Shanna, that when you tell her...
"do what you think is best." 
She does what she thinks...and that's just that.
She's the type that will just flat-out tell you, you need to do something different
or that a certain hairstyle that you maybe like will not look good on you.
I totally appreciate her honesty.

So here's what she came up with...


Yes...bangs and LOTS of them! I feel like they start halfway back my head.
I was a little shocked at first, but I'm starting to like them.


So there you have it...my hair's life story. Pretty uneventful, besides a few things I skipped from high school.  Like my attempt to look like Hope Brady on Days of Our Lives
when she was sporting two thick random chunks of blond on either side of her head.
What the heck was that??
So anyway, a new chapter called "bangs."


This pic is to show how far they go back...waaay back...but it's different and I dig it.
Change is good, and sometimes in the dead of winter,
we desperate housewives need anything to excite us!

Bless you this Tuesday :)

You're gorgeous no matter what hairstyle you choose. I have to admit though I'm partial to the bangs;) Just makes you look softer. I luv mine!!! So glad to have a different look.

Alicia,

You look great! I should do a journey through my hairstyles. I've had nearly every color, cut, and hair disaster ever...now I play it way too safe! I grow it out, I cut it off, I cut bangs, I grow them out. My next big move is highlights and a trim around May...ambitious huh? haha!

i love it & have never had the guts to going back to bangs since i finally grew them out in high school... but i dyed my hair a different color for the first time in 29 years [just the underneath layers so that when i flip my hair out, you can see the espresso under the blonde], and it was pretty liberating, so i think i know how you feel! you look gorgeous!

Your new 'fringe' looks fantastic! I do think if you're going to go for bangs then they should be thick. Enjoy the new do!

Alicia-
The bangs look great. I took the plunge about a year ago and cut my bangs and am so glad I did! You will love them :)

You look great Alicia, but you're so pretty that you would look good no matter what hairstyle you have :)
