This process will take place in several stages, at each of which you need to maintain self-control.
Once the girl thought that she was missing something in her life … She went to the hairdresser and cut off her bangs. The next six months proved that the girl lacked brains.
I belong to that category of women who will smile at the hairdresser until the last moment and will never discover their true attitude to his creation until they find themselves outside the salon doors. Here everything will be there: tears, curses, and promises never again … Why not declare that you and the master did not understand each other, at the stage when it is still possible to change something? The question is rhetorical. Probably, until his last breath over my hair, I believe that a miracle will still happen. And then throwing tantrums becomes pointless.
You can read more about how I became the owner of the bangs HERE. There is a description of all the beauty breaks, and tears of despair, which were destined to dry up only a month later. It took me so much time to psychologically adapt to the inconveniences and develop a mechanism for overcoming them. In the process, it also became obvious: he will not endure and will not fall in love, which means that there is only one way out – to wait. To be honest, in the first two months it seemed that my hair was no longer growing.
The promised 1,5-2 centimeters a month did not want to come true. Having gone to a trichologist and received a version about the relationship of slower growth of bangs with stress, I realized that I had to tie it up. There was still not enough to get hooked on tranquilizers because of other people’s crooked hands. In general, I drank some vitamins and decided to leave my hair alone. Without special preparations, masks and other tricks, over the next three months, the bangs grew to that version, which, although it caused inconvenience, no longer required constant work on itself. She began to lie down with curtains on both sides without any problems, without flickering before her eyes.
For three months, the increase was about 3 centimeters. But she was still far from a better version of herself.
Then the time of testing began. If you plan to cut off the bangs, keep in mind that a moment will come when it will grow to such a length that it will not technically be a bang, but it will not want to fit into the total mass. At this point, you need to make an important decision for yourself: grow or cut. I was full of courage and armed with many tricks – from invisibility of various calibers to luxurious velvet headbands, but the breakdown happened anyway. If not for that moment of weakness, now, perhaps, I would not have bangs at all.
It happened at the very end of autumn. Either the blues, or the notorious feminine desire “to change something” … I decided to trim my hair a little, ready at the same time to defend the integrity of the regrown bangs with all its irregularities. What happened in the end was called “light thinning”. In fact, it was minus 1,5 cherished centimeters.
Nine months have passed since that fatal haircut, and now my hair, which was once a bang, is freely tucked behind my ears, does not go into my eyes and does not require a thorough separate styling. If you try to calculate the rate of their growth, you will get about 9 cm in 9 months… If you add to them those that were lost at the intermediate stage by the “light thinning” method, then you get exactly the monthly increase that trichologists promise, 1,5-2 cm. The main thing is not to panic. Hair is not teeth, it will grow back. But still, when you want something new, it is better to articulate your desire to the hairdresser more clearly. Why do you need extra stress?
