It is definitely time for me to change up my hairstyle. My last haircut was around April of last year. Because I will be heading off to college next year, I want to look different- ya know, start fresh, physically and mentally. Now, I have this whole idea in my head about what type of haircut I want to get, but my parents would disown me if I dared. It’s ok to share it here though- as long as I don’t actually go through with it, I’m fine. So, the style that I would LOVE to have is the Key style. It’s definitely a really short cut and kinda boyish, but I think it has pizazz.
In the picture to the right, you can kinda see how it looks from an aerial view. I’m definitely digging the slanted bangs in the front. The whole side-bang business is getting old for me, so this concept is fresh. I really like how the front will slant so that the hair won’t completely poke into my eyes. Another thing about the Key cut is the smoothness of the chop. It’s like… perfectly snipped and angled. If you think about it, the edges of his hair look so straight that they can be used as straight-edges on a math test or something. Oh and of course, I adore the neon pink hair dye. Though I wouldn’t quite agree on getting a huge chunk of my hair dyed this color, I would like strands of this color. If you look at the photo below, the dye is actually in strands- the way I like it. I’m not THAT bold to have the majority of my hair a neon color, but I think subtle hints of colors are cool.
Fortunately for you, I have also found the ideal Key cut I would love to get. It’s a combo of both of these pictures, but with slight differences. Plus, I immediately fell in love with his hair. It’s absolutely perfect- slanted bangs, a little unevenness for sass, thin streaks of neon colors, and a slight straight-edge.
I present you with…..
Obviously, my parents being… my parents, they would never let me look like this. Especially since my mom would totally be against the dying the hair thing. But you know what? I wouldn’t really dye it… if I did get this style, I’d use extensions so that I could change up the streak colors every so often. But, I’ve come to terms with what my parents think. I totally understand their perspective- this style is definitely out there for me. Knowing me, especially, this hair is wack. 😉
So, let’s move on to what I CAN do with my hair. Well, it’s quite long now. I considered having it grow out more and just getting a trim on the edges to rid my strands of split-ends. Oh, and I would get bangs again, since they grew out. What was originally my bangs… became hair that reaches my chin. If I leave the length of my hair and fix it up a little at the salon, it’d look like this:
It’s pretty, sure. But I’ve realized that long hair is a hassle. It gets tangled, caught in things, etc. AND, it tends to whip me in the face. Especially since my hair gets thick really quickly, I find it difficult to style every morning for school. If I tie it up, there are loose strands that tickle my neck and my face. I’ve also had long, straight hair for quite a few years now. In fact, the last time I did NOT have long, straight hair was back when I was 12 or 13.
After my long ramble, what I’m trying to say is that my next cut shall be different, but also acceptable and easy to deal with. I already know what I will do with my hair- you can probably figure it out pretty quickly if you really think about it. I’ll leave you to your imagination, but ya know what? I’m pumped for my new style. Hopefully, it’ll come out nice though… my hair is really going to be subject to the stylist. So… the stylist better know what he/she is doing! I’ve had horrible haircut mishaps in the past. –shivers– Until then, HWAITING!
