Those of you following along at home (hi, hey, hello) may have noticed that I recently got bangs.
Well, technically speaking they’re more curtain bangs than a full-on fringe situation–been there, done that, lesson learned–but bangs nonetheless.
That’s right. I’ve officially traded in my signature bitchy-bob to become…. a bangs-baddie.
I also decided to grow my hair out (but that’s a story for another time).
It’s okay if you didn’t notice (it’s not); it’s summer and we’re all too busy live, laugh and lovin’ our way through the holidays.
And hey, I get it. I’ve been pretty much doing the same.
Between a Christmas here and another there, throw in an interstate baptism and some overdue birthday celebrations; I feel like I need a holiday from my actual holiday, and it’s only January!
Anyway, back to my hair.
So I cut it myself at home.
Like all good decisions, it was made on a whim with little thought about the consequences.
Namely, maintenance.
It had been a while since I’d had bangs, so I’d ~conveniently~ forgotten just how much damn work goes into keeping them looking cool and effortless à la French-girl style.
So these new Mermade Hair travel minis couldn’t have landed on my desk at a better time: in late December, just days from the Christmas break.
I popped them in my beauty bag and off I went on vacay where I put them to the ultimate travel test.
Here’s how everything went down…
