What I asked for and why I got

The first 2 are the inspiration photos/ third is the process/ fourth is the outcome

I asked my friend to give me a hair cut. She was so excited to give me bangs. I wanted versatile bangs that I can use pushed to the side of over my forehead. I am so happy with how it turned out and plan on making cute hairstyles with them #haircut #bangs #feelingbeautiful

Tip: when your hair is wet, go crazy with the hair dryer and then add some texture spray. To give it texture and volume! I recently had this inspo.

😂😂😂 😭😭😭I can't even, I have no words for some of these people and the comments, I don't know if it's funny or sad
