Growing up a curly girl, I always dreamed of bangs and that Brigitte Bardot haircut. And now as a 38 year old, my curls and big hair have relaxed and I thought it was time to try the hairstyle I’ve always dreamed of after pinning dozens and dozens of photos of Matilda Djerf. Her hair is iconic and I’m still figuring out how to get mine more voluminous without too much effort, but I have dense, thick hair and working on finding the right products that give me more oomph!
Before the Haircut
You can see a before photo below and I had been asking for a lot of face framing and just getting light trims to let my hair grow, but it was feeling too long and too heavy for me and I wanted to shake it up! I asked for curtain bangs and for maybe three inches off plus more face framing.
Who Cuts and Colors My Hair
Riley at Midwest Hair Lounge in Mason is incredibly talented and I just made sure to show her a handful of photos for inspiration and she totally got the vibe and nailed it. I highly recommend her if you’re local looking for a great stylist!
For color, I see Beth at Douglas J Okemos and had asked for just a very natural highlight, closer to my natural hair color and a lot darker than where I was a year ago but I love it and how low maintenance it is.
