The Truth About My Bangs

Sooo ... I have a little secret. Remember when I posted my new haircut with bangs on Instagram? Well, they were faux bangs! *insert big gasp here* haha 

Here's how I feel about bangs: been there, done that! I just can't deal with the mess of bangs honestly. I think they are so flipping cute and always want to rock them, but I literally just can't. lol They actually really bother me (I hate the feeling of them on my face),  I was constantly having to straighten them when I had bangs in college and nobody wants to put that much heat on their hair on a consistent basis. I also throw my hair up a lot and I can't do that with bangs without looking like I'm back in high school with the little puff in the front of my head. Remember when that was in? So glad it's out! 

So here's the skinny: the bangs are clip-in and super convenient. I got them from The Hair Shop in LA (but you can shop their inventory online or check for other locations around the US). I got mine during their "Fringe Sale" and I just checked for you guys and the deal is still going on! They are on sale right now for $79. It sounds a little steep, but if you're anything like me and are always changing up your hairstyle, it's totally worth it. I would probably never cut bangs again, but these clip-ins allow me to still rock that chic, fun look without any committment. I mean let's be real -- I can barely commit to one lipstick in a day.

There are three different styles of bangs on their site (and in store). The ones I have are called THE BANG (Boho Chic) and it comes in every color imaginable. If they have my color, they'll have yours! :) I was going to make a video showing you how I clip in mine, but The Hair Shop had one that was so helpful for me and showed the three different styles so beautifully, I wanted you guys to see it too. 

If you end up trying out these bangs, tag me on your insta so I can see! xx
