Personal Style // A New Fall ‘Do

I have a haircut appointment scheduled for Saturday, and I’m contemplating getting a new ‘do for fall. While it was fun rocking long, straight hair with thick bangs these past couple of months, my hair’s been harder to style that way since the Brazilian Blowout started fading out. Plus, I’m not really sure that that severe look was really me, ya know? I never really felt like I was hipster enough to pull off straight across bangs!

However, a friend’s son recently pointed to an advertisement of Zooey Deschanel shilling for Pantene and said, “PG? PG?” (that’s what he calls me) Seriously, I die.

I’m debating between two new hairstyles. The first is a more easy, breezy version of my current style — slightly less perfect with messy bangs. I’m kind of obsessed with the idea of wavy bangs, but I have no idea how to create them. My hair is naturally frizzy wavy, and blow drying it straight and then smoothing it with a flat iron every day is kind of a drag. This ‘do could potentially make my morning routine a lot easier.

The second look I’m really into is the wavy lob, possibly even without bangs. But… JB really likes my long hair, and I don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t throw it up in a big ol’ ballerina bun when it hasn’t been washed in three days. My hair has never in my life been as long as it is now, which is why I’m reluctant to cut. But I know, I know — hair always grows back. (Unless it doesn’t. But that’s another issue all together.)

Long hair offers versatility, but shorter hair can be chic.

So tell me, which hairstyle do you like best?
