It's already been some odd weeks, but I cut my own hair, as it was in some terrible state of neglect after about a year of wild growth.
Then, caught up in the moment, I decided to actually change up my hairstyle (of >7 years) by cutting myself a fringe.
What could have been a bad life decision turned out pretty well, in fact, for my first try!
It's quite easy, actually! The trick is to seperate the future fringe hair properly (like a triangle shape), not cutting the fringe too wide (because then it gets super blocky and would probably look like that one time in 6th grade when a classmate cut a fringe for me...........)
AND NEVER EVER CUT IT TOO SHORT.
I actually re-cut it over the following days as it was a bit too long,
but that's the better alternative to having to grow it out.
For comparison purposes, I'll add photos.
I actually liked my fringe-free haircut, too, but it just got SO BORING after all these years. And most of the time it just looked flat.

Bonus points for fringes:
No stressing out over bushy eyebrows and the scar on my forehead! :D
Have a wonderful summer! And cut your hair if you're bored!
Your fringe looks so cute! Great job with the snip and it makes you look younger :). I always end up cutting a fringe every 2 years or so and every time I do I regret it haha. I don't know why I do it to myself!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! (haha I'm still nervous) And it actually does make me look younger. How will I ever buy alcohol without my passport... :')
DeleteBut a fringe suits you, too! :D And it's actually quite easy to 'hide' it on bad hair days. ;)
You're cute with this new hairstyle! I like your draw so much! It's so pretty and funny >w< <3
ReplyDeleteI'm new here!
Can we follow ech other? :3

thank you! <3 Looking cute is the best hehe (...as if I'd ever manage to look elegant...) ^^
DeleteI'll follow you! I'm still quite new myself! :)
You're brave and it turned out well! haha I think I cut my own fringe but it didn't look very good.
ReplyDeleteI'd substitute 'brave' with 'stupid' haha. I already have to re-cut it, my hair grows too fast?!
DeleteMaybe the first time would be safer with a professional ;)
Your poor husband indeed, HAH!
ReplyDeleteBack in highschool, I used to cut my own fringe, which almost always ended in disaster because I have straight thick Asian hair and the fringe I was cutting/maintaining at the time was a front and straight fringe WHICH REQUIRES THE FRINGE TO BE COMPLETELY EVEN/STRAIGHT. EASIER SAID THAN DONE!!! Anyways, my imperfect fringe is forever immortalized in my high school graduation photo, and it looks /so/ obvious that I had trimmed it at home LOL T_T (crooked lines)
ANYWAYS, you're so lucky that your fringe is quite wispy. The fringe is quite cute on you! ;)
Haha, at least I tried on myself first ;)) *labrat*
DeleteAaaah, highschool DIY haircuts. Everyone has to have suffered at least once through that, right? Straight fringes are like the worst offenders, though! A friend of mine wanted to 'help' me cut it back then and I think at the end I had a fringe about 3 centimeters long MAX. Still having nightmares about that... if you ever want to try again, got with the wispy-uneven thing! No matter how badly you cut, it kind of looks intentional. (AT LEAST I HOPE SO)
