LADIES OF FEDI (all uhhhhh three of you (OH maybe some spinsterfriends?)): I have a VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION. TLDR: about hair


STORYTIME - I used to think I had straight hair because my mother has very straight hair and I always kept it as long as it would grow (never "cut," only trimmed). HOWEVER, in recent years I have cut it to the shortest it's ever been (which is still long for some people.... maybe bottom of my shoulderblades?) and I have BANGS again, and I have learned that I actually inherited my father's wavy hair. BECAUSE MY BANGS KEEP FLIPPING ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE OTHER DAY IT LOOKED LIKE A GIANT MUSTACHE ON MY HEAD But the rest of my hair is still long enough that it doesn't show the "wave"

SO

The question I pose to you: do I cut my hair more to see the wave? I LOVE long hair and I didn't even cut it to this (still "long" ish) length for... look I'm not telling you my age, you can guess but the point is I'm nervous and WHAT IF IT LOOKS HORRIBLE Maybe I should cut it in increments? I just want to see if it would look nice with the waaaave (and maybe make my bangs look not as silly) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Help me ladies, I never thought I had wavy hair and have no idea how to make it look even more rad (or at least not silly) on me

Thank you for reading my TED talk, pls send help

Longer hair definitely weighs down any wave in your hair. If you want to enjoy more bounce in your hair, cut it shoulder length and let it scrunch up to half way between your chin and shoulders. I typically have long hair (nothing crazy long), but every now and then I like to cut it short to see more of the curls. I’ve never done bangs though. The last time I cut my hair I put framing layers in, and I was pretty pleased with how it turned out. I cut my hair myself. The best advice is cut a very small amount and see how you like it. You can always cut more, and it will always grow back.
