That's Fit

Once again, I have entered the exciting world of bangs. And, 22 hours out of the day, I'm thrilled. However, when it comes time to work up a sweat, my hair happiness begins to wane. I cannot stand having hair in my eyes when I work out. Not a chunk, not a strand -- it's distracting and it just won't do.

My hair has been a variety of lengths throughout the years, and with each style I find a new way to keep it out of my eyes and off my neck. This gallery will give you some tips on doing the same!

I have been thinking about getting bangs cut into my hair for ages. I believe I first got the notion after watching the Devil Wears Prada and admiring Anne Hathaway's super cool fringe. Granted she seems to have great hair all the time but something about those bangs made me wonder if I could attempt something similar.

After that I found myself noticing women on the street who had a fringe. Whether the bangs swooped to the side, were ultra-short or cut straight across their eye line, I thought they all looked pretty great. So after weeks of careful deliberation I took the plunge and headed to the hairdresser.

Before I the cutting began, we had a chat about which of the various fringe styles would best suit me. I didn't think I could pull off the cute but really short look and didn't think the swoop would be a dramatic enough change. So we agreed to try that straight across the forehead, just above the eyes style. I was nervous to begin with because if the look didn't work for me I had no idea how I'd hide it while my hair grew back out.
