Post image for Hair Tutorial: How To Create The Perfect Bang

I realized recently I’ve been holding out on my readership. I have hair and it’s long and stylish. I have so much knowledge on how to create amazing looks for your hair and for the last three years I’ve been keeping those secrets to myself. I can be selfish like that.

But I am selfish no more. A wave of humanity came over me,  and it’s time for me to start giving back. I can no longer allow you moms to look simple and bland. This hair tutorial is exactly what 99% of you need to kick yourselves into gear. In this short tutorial you will be given a total of three different, unique, and fashion forward hair styles that you can start utilizing today.

A wise man once said that you could see a woman’s soul through her hair…err…something along those lines and I fully agree. Tired, bored, busy, tired? Your hair is a window that reveals exactly what struggles are going on in your life.

Struggle no more my friends, I am here to help. From “Creating the Perfect Mullet” to “Princess Leia is my Homegirl”, I am going to share an array of hair tutorials that showcase hairstyles designed to make people fall. at. your. feet.

Today?

Now my life is complete. If you will excuse me I have some curling followed by baby making to do.

Oh, Mama–you are one brave and funny woman… And I am embarrased to admit that my bangs are quite similar to your
curly babymaking bangs with this horrid humidity. So happy to hear I’m hot and not frightening.

Cheers.

And to think I went to a stylist to have actual bangs cut into my hair. What was I thinking? If only this tutorial had come out sooner.

Damnit! Now I need long hair so that I can do this.

Wait, I have bangs. Time to make them a mile high but I am not really into the whole getting a baby out of this. Is there something I should do to protect myself?

Or you just do it my way and shave that shit all off. Of course, that works for dudes better than it does chicks. Although Michelle Ndego Ocello and Sinead O’Connor kinda pulled it off. Kinda.

Very cute vlog! I have just one thing to add for those of us who are a TAD older and who may need something to make us look a bit more youthful. Bangs are the poor woman’s Botox. Words to live by. Really.
