It’s no secret that I like changing things up, especially when it comes to my hairstyles. Long… short… dark… light… curly… straight… you name it, I’ve done it. Several times. In the past year.
However, if there’s one look I’ve yet to master, it’s bangs. You see, I’ve been told I have “the face” for bangs; I just normally make the same mistake over and over again… cutting my bangs in the summer. When there’s humidity.
Hint: humidity + bangs = no bueno.
Therefore, I decided that for once, I was going to make a smart decision about when to chop my locks. Ah, cold, dry winter air – you’re horrible for skin, but heavenly for bangs!
Straight, well-behaved bangs are literally all I want in life, besides fresh air, clean water and chocolate bars. And thick, long bangs are a bold statement! They say: “I’m so confident in my appearance you only need to see 66% percent of my face to get the gist of how amazing I am.”
Of course, they also say: “Cheaper than Botox.”
Oh heyy here I am getting ready to go outside in -25°C temperatures. Bangs look fab, though!
I’m a realist; it’s the middle of February, and I have no doubt that by the middle of oh, say April or May, I’ll likely abandon my fringed look for my classic clean cut. Until then, however, I’m having fun playing with my new ‘do.
And now, as my husband says, “That’s enough of your face.” (He hasn’t quite accepted my selfie ways.) But a girl’s gotta show off her new hairstyle!
Is it time for a change? Have you recently switched up your look?

LOVE the bangs. I want to try bangs but have not had them since I was a kid. Scared I will hate them.

My hairdresser was off one day and her highly recommended replacement asked me what I wanted done. I said anything goes except no bangs. Of course, I got bangs and I cried and cried when I went home as they drove me crazy. You, on the other hand, look absolutely fabulous!
Darlene Schuller

Stephanie LaPlante

Love your bangs! I am now deciding that I want my bangs back. This made me realize I hadn’t had them in a while and miss them too.
Brenda Lacourciere

Eldon
Looks lovely!
Lee Pearson
Yup, I changed to bangs about a year ago (to cover up forehead wrinkles) and I love them. I hate the fact that I have to get them trimmed often, but I do not regret them..they’re fun! You look gorgeous with or without bangs! I love your colour too!
caryn salageanu
I love the bangs Lena but totally get what you mean about humidity and its not pretty as i have been there too!
Jenn Erin
You can seriously rock any haircut and any hair colour! Gorgeous.
Charlene A.
I’d love to try that but in reality I get my hair cut every six months. But, I do like mixing it up. Bangs look great on you.
Alayne Langford
Lena, with this new bang fringe look, may I call you J-Lena, because you remind me of J-Lo now I can’t get it out of my head!! You go girl, show us how its done!! :) xo
Suzanne Giroux
Your bangs look great on you and I totally agree a lot cheaper than botox. I have worn bangs for years as I find they bring attention to the eyes plus hide whatever sins are on my forehead(occasional pimple).
kathy downey
Love your bangs Lena,you have beautiful bold eyes
Tosha curnew
Bangs look great on you!.. Wish I was brave enough to cut my hair lol. I’ve wanted bangs for so long but I’m afraid it wont suit me. My hairs straight & waist length such a bore.
Lindsay O
The bangs look great! I know what you mean about getting them now instead of in humid weather. I had bangs in the summer a few years ago and they were such a pain.
Doris Calvert
They look great! When your beautiful you can pull off anything!
Melinda L.
You look even more stunning with bangs. I don’t have the cheekbones to pull off the bangs look… unlike what the hairdresser claimed many years ago.
Victoria Ess
You look stunning as usual! Great change!
Margaret Imecs

BobbiJO Pentney
Love the new look and your right I never thought of it but bangs are cheaper than botox.
Susan T.
Bangs look great on you! I would love to try them but with my wavy hair I’m sure it would be a constant struggle to tame them. :(
kathy downey
