She bangs

BY ONEIKA RAYMOND

This is what happens when you get bored and scissor-happy on a Saturday morning:

Bangs! Oh yes, I so did. I now have dread-locked bangs, just like Rick James.

You may remember this post, where I lamented on how sucky trying to grow out your hair is. This “not exactly long”, but “not exactly short” stage is killing me. So, fresh out of the shower, I took my trusty pair of scissors and got to work. The result isn’t too bad, but I entirely forgot that it’s a sin to cut curly hair when wet- when my hair dried I was left with a fringe quite a bit shorter than I had intended. Thank goodness I only did minimal cutting in the back instead of going for a blunt bob I thought about doing… I probably would have turned out looking like Raggedy Ann- not a good look!

So, anyway, I’ve got bangs. No regrets (yet)!

  • they're cute!

    I have always thought about trying out dreads but I like the variety of being just plain ol' natural. I can straighten, get braids, twists, braidouts, twistouts etc 🙂 It must be different when your abroad though! Especially when your in a homogenous country!

  • Hey there, Oneika! I love your blog too! So jealous of your trip to China. I am dying to go. Your hair looks great! It's a slow and steady process, but they are going to look beautiful. 🙂 Looking forward to reading more of your adventures.

  • I think your bangs are adorable! And you don't look anything like Rick James. I promise!

  • I agree with Deidre, your bangs look GREAT and nothing at all like Rick James! =)

  • Oneika, I got waitlisted for the TAPIF Program! I'm so bummed and disappointed, I really wanted it but now, who knows?

    I gush about it on my blog 🙁

  • @liveletlive: You know what, dreads (depending on the size) are super versatile as well! That's what I love about them. I can also braid them up, do braidouts and all of that, although most of the time, I'm to lazy to do it LOL… Luckily, I found somebody here to do my hair!

    @Terri: Thanks for the encouraging words!! You are seriously rocking the locs, though! I'm soooo glad that I found your blog- I feel like we are on the same wavelength! I look forward to reading along as well!

    @Deidre: Thank you! I think I am starting to regret them a bit now, as Liebling doesn't like them 🙁 LOL… Oh well, I'm going to rock them best as I can, and they will grow out eventually. But thank goodness I don't have to worry about anyone mixing me up with Rick… 😉 lol!

    @Connie: Thank you!!! I mean, Rick James is cool… But I don't want to look like him. lol!

    @Ugomma: What?!?!?! OH NO!! Running over to your blog right now to see what's up!

  • Rick James! LOL!!!! Too funny. The bangs don't look bad at all but put away the scissors for now. Back away from the scissors or you'll be cutting more…

    Rick James…too funny!

  • Hehe @ Rick James! They look okay to me, though what happened to the back of your hair? Did you trim that too? Bangs may actually be good for your face shape and look if you have length in the back. Please don't do any more cutting!!! Anyway, I hope all is well and you're enjoying your last few months in HK.

  • Yeah, way cuter than Rick James. But hey, he had a pretty good career, anyway?

  • Your bangs are totally cute.

    And wow you are BRAVE! I'd be terrified to cut my own hair. Really just to have a scissors that close to my own head in my own hands 😛

  • @tanya- Your comment is so timely as I was JUST thinking about cutting the fringe even shorter (again)!

    @Samantha- I trimmed the back as well (it's up in a ponytail in this pic) but it wasn't too drastic of a cut.

    @Mil- He did! He was a total crackhead, but man,he could sing!

    @Mamacita- Gracias! Sometimes I'm too brave for my own good with my hair… Then I end up looking like a scalped chicken… *cue sheepish grin*

  • Lmao, why does Rick James look more haggard that Raggedy-Ann? Has he ever not looked rough???

    One a more serious note, your bangs are adorable.

  • @joycey- LOL @ your comment!! I know!! He lived life in the "fast lane", I guess! Thanks!

  • Hello colleagues, its impressive paragraph concerning cultureand fully explained,
    keep it up all the time.

  • I am really delighted to glance at this weblog posts which consists of lots of helpful facts, thanks for providing such statistics.

  • I all the time used to study article in news papers but now as I am a user of net so from now
    I am using net for content, thanks to web.

  • If you are going for finest contents like I do, simply pay a quick
    visit this web site daily as it presents feature contents, thanks

  • Hey there this is kind of of off topic but I was
    wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you
    have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting
    a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I
    wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be enormously appreciated!

  • With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism
    or copyright violation? My site has a lot of completely
    unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it
    appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my
    agreement. Do you know any methods to help reduce
    content from being ripped off? I’d really appreciate it.

  • I enjoy, lead to I discovered exactly what I was having a look for.

    you man. Have a nice day. Bye

  • I believe what you wrote made a lot of sense. But, consider this, suppose
    you added a little content? I am not suggesting your information is not good,
    but what if you added something to maybe grab people’s attention? I
    mean She bangs – Oneika the Traveller is a little boring. You might peek at Yahoo’s front
    page and watch how they create news titles to get people to
    open the links. You might add a video or a related picture or two to get
    people interested about everything’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it could make your
    posts a little bit more interesting.
