Being adventurous with your hair or fashion can really pay off in many ways. I recently went with my gut, and the risk was greatly rewarded! For year, I have always had the same haircut and part. It felt like it was getting old after a while.
I have a very round face. My hair has to be a certain way in order for it to ‘look good’, including the part and overall cut. That usually does NOT include a middle part. I have always wanted to try a middle part look… but, I never thought it would be a good fit for my own face.
Now, since COVID sent us all in hibernation, I did not go to get a hair cut for entire year. I needed one, badly. My layers and bangs were nonexistent!
So, I took a chance! my hair has always been cut the same, with the same exact far side part.
I had an idea to try out a different style this time, but I still had some reservations. My hairstylist gave me the confidence to pursue a middle part look.
Generally, I wanted to try to embody this hairstyle:
My stylist and I decided to try a little bit longer for the bangs, and I wanted lots of layers! So, it didn’t turn out exactly like the example.
This was the result:
This is after I styled my hair for work the next day:
I feel very confident with my new look. For me, this was a big change! Although I was very scared to try something new, I am glad that I did. Sometimes you need to push yourself and see what happens… You never know! If you don’t try it, you will never know what you missed out on, even if things don’t go the way you wanted.
It may seem cliche or surface-level, but I want to live my life without regrets. I want to go more with my gut, take chances, and pursue my desires. I can’t wait to see what else life has in store, no matter how small!
