Well, since I have delved into the world of self styling I thought I would help everyone out with the process, jenallday style.

First, gather up the following supplies:
Scissors, or something sharp
Comb or brush, or fingers, whatever
Camera
Bottle of rum
Almost complete disregard for your personal appearance

Amount of time needed:  One week, and counting.

Day One:  Style hair as usual.  In a fit of typical girl angst, grab random hairs that could be bangs and cut off a few inches.  Immediately regret this decision.  No time to fix it because you of course did this ten minutes before you had to leave the house.  Scream a little, scare the neighbors.

Day Two:  Wear your sunglasses on top of your head all day, camouflaging the wispy bangs you have given yourself.

Day Three:  Wear headband to work.  Take sad looking picture in your dirty truck mirror of spiky bangs.

Day Four:  Wear many bobby pins.  Trim a tiny bit of hair. 

Day Five:  Wear hair incredibly messy to disguise bangs.  No one has said anything yet about hair disaster.  Decide these tiny bangs are not what you were after and begin research.  Find several pictures of your bangs looking decent.  Using these as a guide, cut more hair.

Pull hair into ponytail.  Pull out semi-random pieces of hair that seem like they will make bangs less wispy.

Smirk a little because you know you are being a tad bit insane.  Cut, again.  Do this on dry hair, because only people who know what they are doing are good enough to cut wet hair.

Decide to live with this arrangement for a few days before you trim them to length.

Day Six:  Wear hair so bangs actually show.  Lindsey screams when she sees them.  Call her a whore.  Start to think maybe shorter hair in the back would make the bangs look better.

Day Seven:  Now is the time to administer the rum.  Decide not to trim them to length.  Yes, they are too long and in no way even, but they will be back to normal faster if you leave them alone.  But the process of growing bangs out is not pretty.  Make no decisions.

Day Eight and on:  If you are still unsure about the outcome, or experience new symptoms (i.e. crying, refusing to leave the house) seek the assistance of a trained professional.  Unless you are lazy and hate getting your haircut, which is why you are in this mess in the first place.
 

Warnings and Precautions: Under no circumstances should you cut your own hair. Unless you are drunk, then do so and email the pictures to me.
