Haircuts: A History

Being a product of the 80s and growing up in that horrible fashion drought from about '89 to '97, there was a point in my Elementary School career where I had the "bird's nest bangs." These are the bangs that are curled and teased out not just to cover the forehead, but to create 360 degrees of hair badness. So somewhat in rebellion but mostly in ignorance, I grew out my bangs and went for the slick-straight middle part. I was blessed with very "fine" (I have a friend who refuses to say her hair is thin, but that it is "fine") hair that is always straight, no matter what I do to it, so this middle part look was really Avril Lavigne-ish. Not the greatest. I chopped off about 10 inches for the first time in my life in maybe the 7th grade. Debatable if it's been that short since. Maybe when I tried layering it for about two years of my life. Now I'm just going for the field camp look -- long, blunt, and braided.
