A Girl Named PJ

The curly hairstyle I’m dying to try

January 17, 2017

Alia Shawkat in Search Party

After finishing “The Crown” over winter break (I love British historical dramas!), I needed something new to binge watch. “Search Party,” a 30-minute dark comedy on TBS, had made a couple of year-end “Best Of” lists, so I decided to give it a shot. Although I’m only a few episodes in, I’m obsessed with both the plot (a group of 20-something friends in New York City are trying to solve the mystery of a college acquaintance’s disappearance) and actress Alia Shawkat’s curly bangs.

Every couple of months I start revisiting the idea of bangs, usually after I catch myself staring at my ever-deepening forehead wrinkles for too long. However, my hair is naturally wavy/curly — the more defined curls are underneath a top layer of wavy frizz — so whenever I wanted bangs in the past, I coordinated them with a Brazilian blowout. I never considered not wearing them straight, but Alia’s imperfect fringe has got me thinking. Her short shag is definitely too hipster for me, but those curly bangs…

Despite my life-long desire to have sleek strands, I’m beginning to realize in my (*cough*) old age that voluminous, textured hair is more flattering for my long, heart-shaped face, so I’ve been diffusing my hair more frequently than straightening it. Bangs are equally flattering, but am I brave enough to wear them curly?

Later today I’m heading to PR at Partners for a cut and color with my amazing hairstylist, Nadine Matar. I thought I’d bring along some inspiration photos of hairstyles with curly bangs just in case I’m feeling particularly bold when I sit down in her chair. Granted, it’s hard for models and hairdressers to have a bad hair day, but these beauties make curly bangs look so cool and, more importantly, wearable.

What do you of this new hair trend? Would you wear (or have you ever worn) your bangs curly or wavy?

Day 12 | No photos from today (well none worth sharing) because I sat in front of my laptop from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. working on deadline. My busy work day also meant that my kids didnt get very much of my attention. My husband kept them occupied for some of the day but I dont think they got any schoolwork done. Oh well we all deserve a lazy day every once in a while. I know I do! | So whats this photo? Just some of the amazing birthday presents I received from my friends this weekend! (Dont worrDay 11 | Emotions have been running high the past two days and everyone has a short fuse. Asa had a full-on temper tantrum because he didnt want to color his drawing of a rainbow and nearly lost his cool while practicing Typing Club. I wish I could do more educational activities with them like taking alphabet walks and tallying up different items around the house but Im totally overwhelmed with a huge deadline this week. In fact I had to keep working after the kids went to bed and now its nearlyC-Quarantine Day 8 | Ive felt anxious many days this past week but today was the first day I had the blues. Not sad about anything specific. Just ... sad. Cabin fever? Exhaustion? We decided to get out of the house to look at the cherry blossoms in Bethesda. The Kenwood neighborhood was quiet so we parked and walked down a side street keeping our distance from the few other people out and about. But with cars parked on one side of the road and moving cars to trying to pass them & the pedestriansOn the first day of #socialdistancing my true love made for me Nutella-filled croissantsyummy!  On the second day of social distancing my true love made for me banana muffins with a crumb topping.  On the third day... Nope. Tomorrow we work from home/homeschool our kids so its cereal for everyone!  #onedaycv #covidquarantine
