The Short Bang Theory My theory is actually more of a conspiracy. Last weekend I went for my long overdue haircut. I know better than to distract my hairdresser with too much conversation during the crucial bang cutting portion of the process. Suddenly as we chattered away I caught a glance in the mirror of my bangs and realized that she'd cut them about an inch and a half too short. She must have heard my little gasp because she said "Oh no did I cut them too short?" "It's o.k." I said "They grow quickly". Sigh. Clearly the other hairdressers heard me and sensed my anguish. After the blow drying process my hairdresser stepped away while I gathered my purse and headed to the cash register. 2 different stylists commented to me how much they liked my bangs. "Did you cut them a little shorter this time? They look very flattering" one of them said. At the register the receptionist also commented on my attractive short bangs. Ha! I guess bad news travels fast in a very small hair salon. Yes, I could sense a conspiracy underway and who was I to deny them their fun. "Aren't they just beautiful?" I replied. I was actually saying a little prayer to myself...Please God let these bangs grow out quickly.
