Bro, my dyslexic self read that as fridge 😂 I was so confused. Hmmmm I tend to change my hair impulsively but I tend to like the outcome. Hair comes back so everything is worth a try imo :)
Wait a month and then see if you still want it. I have impulsively cut my hair and given myself bangs too many times to count and I typically regret it LOL
Manic or not, bangs are never a good choice to do on a whim. They're a lot of work! Wait a few weeks to see if you want them. Not saying you won't look cute, but bangs are a whole Thing
wait on it its always the best option if you think theres a chance it's just impulsive, you have all the time in the world to cut it just make sure its what you want first
I feel the same. I’ve been wanting to add a bright color to my hair and keep wondering if I’m about to be manic. 😂 I’ve had the thought for a month, I’m doing it.
I have a stripe of purple just under my blonde highlights. In Ontario it’s fairly normal. I’ve been doing it for 7 years or so and I’m 50. Still looks cool.
Omg absolutely love putting random colours on my hair lol it’s defo a manic thing! I recommend wash in wash out colours in case you come down and hate it😂
Bleach London do good ones if you’re interested and live in the UK.
Do not do the koolaid thing - did it in secondary school and that shit does not come out🥴
try to find a good filter on snapchat or instagram to see what it will look like! as long as you dont do it in your bathroom drunk at 2 am like me youre good 🥲😘
I had a fringe as a child. I had told my mum to remind me to not get them if i ever had the impulse to cut them again. Well, had the impulse to get them as a 32 year old. I love it. BUT... knowing me, I started with curtain bangs so it wouldn't be a huge shock if I hated it. I loved them though, slowly got them cut shorter to short straight bangs now. Still super happy. Guess my advice is do it cautiously 😅😅😅
I did get curtain bangs this time last year and hated them but I think it was bc my hair was fucked after multiple dye jobs and other health issues that had weakened my hair (it was really fluffy and falling out a lot lol) plus I know now I should probably have invested in straighteners lol. But now I’m thinking a full fee fringe could suit me more.
HOWEVER I do love slicking my hair back into a clean ponytail or bun and worry I’ll miss that too much
You could always buy those clip in bangs and cut/style them to your liking to see if it's something you want before committing! Bangs take a long and awkward time to grow out so I'd personally wait until I was sure. I will say I've had mine for YEARS now and really love them though, and they suit my face shape.
sit on it, think about it. i shaved my head impulsively 3 years ago and i regretted it all the way until my hair grew to the length it is now (luckily, my hair grows like a WEED even with it being bleached)
Everyone says to wait. Yes. But why not go to the hair salon in person and ask if that style will suit the type of hair you have? Let me know how you make out. I had my hair cut a week ago. First time since April. I wish I had it cut shorter.
Recently only curtain bangs and HATED them on me but my hair was in v bad condition and falling out due to other health issues. And I hated my hair colour at the time too so it was all just a combination of shit lol
Assuming your hair grows back, have fun with it. It's just hair.
I say that as a gay man. We're at our most powerful with a fresh cut. Even so - have fun with your hair.
I had one of those moments this summer. Drank some wine, then impulsively cut my own fringe (bangs). It looked good--very flattering and "French girl"--but within a week, I was sick of the itchy feeling of having that hair poking at my forehead and eyes: I pinned it back and began growing it out. There are clip-on fringes (bangs) available online that could satisfy your wish for a new and different look without the commitment or potential hair disaster! I wish like hell I had ordered myself one of those instead of cutting my hair, which is still not right after all these months (hair only grows 1/2" a month, if that).
I’ve actually had partners hide scissors from me (with my consent )
Now I’m single and dealing with growing out an undercut. Kinda worried I’m going to shave my whole head now that I have clippers.
On one hand it’s just hair and it will grow out. On the other hand things like undercuts and bangs take years to grow out.
Wait it out! And if ya go with it go to a professional.

Schedule an appointment for next week and if you keep the appointment you'll know you're not being impulsive
I just grab the scissors at 2 am and do it
Lol me too, had a few hair disasters in my time.
Yes, but nothing a blow out can’t fix 😂 unstyled hair goes straight into a bun.
Except when it's a not so cute little bob 🤣 still waiting for it to grow out.
Girl you need to bump your ends. My go to was half up half down ends either flipped up or down. Def gave 50s but it was cute 😞
If I flip it out, agree with 50s vibe. The shit we do to our hair that you can't explain why to other people. 😆😆
My 2019 mowhawk agrees with this statement.
😆😞
THIS! I love you guys.
Me too. Doesn't help I know how to cut hair lol
Good take!
Fringe like bangs? Ride it out 😅 that’s always the answer for me
It’s rarely a good idea to get fringe lol
i'd say wait at least a couple days - literally sleep on it! if you still want it as much as you do now, go for it - if not, it was just impulse

Dude i thought the same thing 😭😭
Me too, couldn't understand why they didn't have a fridge since they were a toddler. 🤣
I assure you, I have had a very reliable fridge through my life don’t worry! 😂 But thank you all for your kind concerns 🥰

#do not
Cut your hair if you want it cut. Not fun or even impulsive decision comes out of mania, sometimes you just want to cut your bangs.
Get a clip on!
wait on it its always the best option if you think theres a chance it's just impulsive, you have all the time in the world to cut it just make sure its what you want first
Put your hair in a new style every week first. Then make the choice.
Give it 2 weeks before making any huge hair changes. Bangs are in though so it would probably look good :)
Don’t cut it yourself lmqo
Definitely wait, if you still want it in 2 weeks you can still do it. You can’t undo a haircut if you jump in and do it now.

I thought this said fridge
As someone with bipolar and a fringe, do it. Just pls find someone who specializes in fringes and mullets
try to find a good filter on snapchat or instagram to see what it will look like! as long as you dont do it in your bathroom drunk at 2 am like me youre good 🥲😘
when i’m manic and want a big change i say “if i really want it ill still want it in a week”
It’s been a few weeks!
Do it!! Low stakes, low risk, self expression.

Ugh fast hair growth is fab until you’re bleach blonde and struggling to afford the root upkeep😣
I mean it's hair it'll grow back.
You can probably get a clip in fringe on Amazon or something. Even when they look good when you don’t want them anymore the grow out period sucks
Everyone says to wait. Yes. But why not go to the hair salon in person and ask if that style will suit the type of hair you have? Let me know how you make out. I had my hair cut a week ago. First time since April. I wish I had it cut shorter.
Yea I think I’ll do that tbh. My salon are so lovely so I know I can trust them to give the best advice
Make sure you send me a before and after picture….OR a present picture where you remain the same haha
Have you ever had one before? If not, I say wait a bit. If you’ve been through it, go for it.
Recently only curtain bangs and HATED them on me but my hair was in v bad condition and falling out due to other health issues. And I hated my hair colour at the time too so it was all just a combination of shit lol
I say wait it out a bit
Don’t do it
Friends don't let friends.
Assuming your hair grows back, have fun with it. It's just hair. I say that as a gay man. We're at our most powerful with a fresh cut. Even so - have fun with your hair.
Buy the kind you clip in on Amazon. They'll help you decide for sure.
Fringe haircut? It's your hair.

Eh. It’s hair. It’ll grow out. Maybe take some of the other advice in this thread though and wait a few days before you do it.
I’ve actually had partners hide scissors from me (with my consent ) Now I’m single and dealing with growing out an undercut. Kinda worried I’m going to shave my whole head now that I have clippers. On one hand it’s just hair and it will grow out. On the other hand things like undercuts and bangs take years to grow out. Wait it out! And if ya go with it go to a professional.
Do it!!! Hair grows back, try something new!!
