A little over a week ago, when I was at the salon getting my color touched up, I decided to have my stylist cut bangs. By the next day I was already regretting it!

If you're not a fan of seaming, then it's an awesome technique to have in your arsenal. I actually don't mind setting in sleeves and do that more often than not.
