I've been wearing my hair in braids for the past few days as it's been driving me a bit crazy and I'm doing everything possible to keep the scissors out of my hands, lest I end up with bangs again. I was so excited to see these old Life images on Tara Lynn's blog! They've given me all sorts of new ideas for keeping my hair out of my eyes while it grows out.
Ohh this post is amazing Jennifer!! So many ideas and the photos are beautiful :) Thanks for sharing them!

Growing out bangs is certainly one of the more frustrating things related to hair. I'm a fan of wearing vintage scarves in one's hair--and you could certainly pull that off!
ReplyDeletein the past few years I have lost the ability to braid my hair, I should really start to learn again

Love the pictures! I wear a side braid pretty often. In the winter it's because my hair is so thin and get's that static-cling quality. So annoying!
ReplyDeleteaww I love these. I have done many braid with cool bangs styles. have fun with experimenting!!
ReplyDeleteI have a pixie cut that I'm thinking of growing out. This makes the process a little less scary.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are lovely. My hair is finally long enough to braid! Now I am inspired to do so.
ReplyDeletethose photos are beautiful... and, you're right, inspiring! i find myself braiding my growing-out bangs and pinning them back just to keep them out of my face. but then i want to cut bangs again sometimes. aaah! it's a vicious cycle.

ooo I like this pictures !! I like the fashion during the forties !!
ReplyDeleteThe photos are awesome. While you grow your bangs out you could just carry around bobby pins to pin your bangs if you're busy and don't want hair in your eyes.
ReplyDeleteI love the one in the third picture with the giant bow on the end. Oh love. Wishing I was more talented at braiding my thick hair by myself. Great post!
