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
