So what do you think of my new ‘do? Please keep in mind that I couldn't wash it due to the color, and I styled it differently from my stylist. She did kinda straight sideswept bangs and the rest wavy/curly. I woke up to a Joan Jett song and a terrible case of bedhead so I straightened it with a round brush and ionic dryer on dry hair, then hit the back that got especially bedheaded with my ceramic straightener. Then I hit it with a bit of Sexy Hair Spray Wax. I can't wait until I wash it and can really play with it, because I think the edgy layers and thicker bangs will do a multitude of fun things, both straight and wavy. The color was changed as well, red highlights, chocolate and dark brown lowlights. Fun and a bit funky without being so weird as to scare away my work clients.

There’s just something about a wrap dress. For many, it does wonders for the figure. It creates an hourglass shape, flatters the bust, and makes the most of curves. And many of them are made from wrinkle-resisting, stretchy, washable fabric. But not all wrap dresses are created equal. Dress: Adrianna Papell via Gwynnie Bee…

Your hair always looks good – it seems like you can do so many different things with it. The new, darker color is very rich looking – excellent choice for the winter season! The extra layering should be fun to play with. Looks good!
LOVE the cut! I wish my hair had the potential to look that cool!
It is totally Joan Jett! I was thinking that before I read your post. So cute and I love the color change. 🙂 Great once again!
Thanks! I got caught int he rain today so it looked a bit mullet, but gee, it sure looks cute in a ponytail with the new bangs!
