I hate cutting my hair. I've gone to numerous salons ~ low end to high end, and I've never been thrilled with the results. But, sometimes I do want a change. Like, lately I always wonder how I would look with the Asian girl straight across bangs. So I bought some clip on-bangs on ebay (http://myworld.ebay.com/cosplaylvhui268/)!
The pros:
*holds the shape (requires no styling)
*temporary, don't have to cut own hair (duh)
*has the right "thickness" so the wind won't blow them all the the side
*cheap, like $6
The cons:
*takes time to place them in correctly
*color match. I bought black bangs, but since my black dye is fading my hair is a bit brown, so doesn't match quite right.
I literally took about 45 seconds to place these in my hair. Hence, you can see the harsh line where the bangs end. I've satisfied my curiosity. These style bangs make me look really young, so I had to thicken my eyeliner so as not to look like a high schooler. And, I felt like a character in Battle Royale (check it out), which is an AMAZING movie that you must watch if you haven't yet!
For comparison, the exact same makeup etc just no bangs:
Take the hair that would normally be your bangs, and bobby pin to the side. The clip on bangs will clip right over these.
The bangs also made me feel like an evil child killer person creature thingy (think Ringu), so I threw in this "I'm going to murder you with my evil glare" pic. I frighten myself sometimes:
I have an extra set of bangs if anyone wants. It's black colored. Hmm I guess I'll make into a little contest? If you would like these bangs, please comment and put a link to a picture of someone who makes you want to get bangs. Don't post on your blog either please.. I don't want random strangers haha. Just my blog readers :) Ends midnight, 4/8/10, California time. I'll put an obvious example:Katie Holmes. Ugh she's gorgeous! And I want colored eyes like her!!!!!! And her nose!! But I don't want her husband hahaha..
I hope this post was helpful to anyone considering buying these!

Hehe so 2 people entered for the bangs ~Serena and Erynn :) Used random.org and assigned the number 1 (Serena) and 2 (Erynn):
Serena ~ I'll be sending out the bangs some time next week! ^_^
I feel the exact same way about changing my hair style. I've always wondered how I would look like with short hair or with bangs. But I'm too chicken to do either because I'm scared it'll look bad. And also because I know my hair tends to get really frizzy when I cut it too short. {*BLAH} Takes too long to style short hair.
ReplyDelete{*LOL} @ "I'm going to murder you with my evil glare"
You make me laugh. <3s. =]
I think the bangs look REALLY cute on you though! I can see what you mean by it makes you look young. It's okay though. =P It's meant to give you a different look anyways right?
I'd love a chance to win come banging bangs! Angela Baby makes me want to hang bangs:

I love her hair and I really like her bangs. I don't think I have enough hair to have full bangs.
<3 Serena.
i like these bangs!! they look natural and cute <3
ReplyDeleteThose clip on bangs are pretty neat. I've never seen them, only clip on ponies! I don't think I can pull off any clip on hair though. My friend used to wear the pony and we could always tell where her natural hair ended.
ReplyDeletedang unnie! you look years younger seriously! not that you look any older in the first place anyways. love the asian genes hehe!
ReplyDelete*HUGSSSSS*
& ooooooooohhhhh i wanna try the bangs :) enter me hehe!

Hi sophiaa! HAHA your evil looking picture makes me laugh XD I've sent your package yesterday and it's on it way to your home! :D:D
ReplyDeleteahhmahgahdd Ringu pic! I was so scared of that movie. After I watched the American version, I couldn't sleep for a weak. I'm a freaking pussy.
ReplyDeleteDid you wear the bangs all day?
love the fringe! <3
ReplyDeleteAHH!! I was about to buy fringe bangs too!
ReplyDeleteI was debating which color to buy. They look so darn cute!
Those are pretty neat!
ReplyDeleteThey look good on you too :]
I got clip on bangs and I didn't like them...its just tooo much hassle to be dealing with all day and heats up so it breaks me out in the summer...so i said no thankyaaa lol...but it looks good on you =]]]
ReplyDeleteim ok on the bangs...lol don't enter me (: give someone a good chance to win lol
omg you look soo cute! your hair is very pretty and long! lol that haircut does remind me of Battle Royale though, I haven't seen the movie yet but I've seen pics
ReplyDeleteBtw I like your scary face too! :) but you're too pretty to be scary!
Looking good, your 'Ringu' picture made my morning. Hahaa :P
ReplyDeleteAh I always want to try clip in hair stuffs :3 It looks super cute on yoU! My mom always used to get my hair cut like that when I was little XP I'd love a chance to try :3
ReplyDeletehttp://hairbrained.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/rachel-mcadams-hair-latest-hairstyles-com.jpg
I <3 Rachel McAdams w/ a passion... aaand that's kinda what my hair looks like atm, minus the bangs.. so I wonder what I'd look like with bangs now XP
I didn't even know these existed! Thanks for being the Guinea pig and trying them out for us:)
ReplyDeleteit looks very cute onn you!
ReplyDeleteI love bangs!
ReplyDeleteThey are a great way to change up a hair style. The only thing I dont like is that they are incredibly difficult to maintain.. for me anyway.
My hair grows super fast, so Im constantly trimming my bangs as soon as they poke my eyeballs.
I think you should get bangs! You look great with them.
ooh i've always wondered how i would look with another hair style as well - but i'm really not sure how it would turn out. this is definitely a cool way :)
ReplyDeletei like the hair
ReplyDeleteyes it is really chiaki kuriyama (that crazy chick in battle royale)
Whoa! Clip-on bangs! I think they'd look better on you if they were slightly piecer but they're still very cute :D
ReplyDeleteI've only ordered from EyeCandyLens.com but I'm relatively new to colored contacts as well. I just know that Dali Extra Size are too big and irritate my eye. Yes! Review + free lenses are always the best :) Do they just send it to you or is it with your next purchase? I got my Nudy Brown ones for free like that.
I was going to do the same thing and now I think that I will buy those bangs..
ReplyDeleteI have to admit your really do look younger with those bangs XD
I like it but I have to admit I like you more without the bangs. :D it's more adult and sexier.
I mean you look great in both pics :D
The whole concept of having bangs one day and not having them the next it awesome
enjoy them
If I get mine I'll post about it
I've seen these clip on bangs a while ago on some Indonesian online shops... They don't look too hard to put on. I think you're cute with blunt bangs :)
ReplyDeleteand LOL @ the evil child killer pic!
i actually think these bangs look great on you!!! until you mentioned it made you look like an evil children. you're too funny!
ReplyDeleteoverall, you look great w/ bangs!
haha you are so good with manipulating your hair! you look good both with and without bangs :) xx
ReplyDeleteIt could just be that their hosting is down :(
ReplyDeletei get like that too i cant find any hairstylist that can fix my hair or cut it the way i want to. so i would have to say A++ on these bangs cause it really changes up a hairstyle! its pretty awesome and cheap at the same time
ReplyDeleteahhhh noooo not ringu!!! hhahaha! you know what - i've always been curious about how i would look with bangs but obvs i've been afraid to actually cut it that way! i didn't know these clip on things existed... hmmm.... anyway, you look great either way but i think i prefer your look without the bangs! :)
ReplyDeletep.s - fried rice with tabasco... reallllly?? i may just have to give it a shot! i trust you... it better be good. haha!
The edgy eye-makeup look goes really well with bangs, I think clip-on bangs are a really fun idea to change up looks :) Yours give you a cute anime character look haha but I think I would be a little scared if you gave me that evil child killer expression! aw no I'm not in a frat/sorority, sorry to disappoint! Do you enjoy working at a CPA firm even though it's not your passion? =\
ReplyDeleteI'm always thinking about changing my hair, but I'm waaay too chicken! I don't even think in brave enough to try clip-ons! Hahahaha But they do look cute on you :)
ReplyDeleteHey!♥ RYC: the Muffins come in a bent acrylic frame, so they can sit on flat surfaces. They are meant to be desk buddies! =D
ReplyDeleteI'd like to try new looks, but I'm such a chicken! I don't even think I'm brave enough to try clip-ons! Hehe But they are cute on you. Oh, and I definitely wouldn't want Katie's husband either, gross.
ReplyDeleteI think I posted the same comment like 5 times! I thought it was messing up! I swear I'm not psycho haha I'm just new to blogging :)
ReplyDeleteEdited post to add the winner hehe ~ Serena got the bangs!
ReplyDeletePony as in...clip on ponytails : )
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute pair of bangs~! :) My hair is actually more on the brown side but I have always wanted beautiful thick bangs.
ReplyDeleteI like your pics with the hair to the side! It has an element of allure to it :D
aww, those bangs look great on you, Sophia! :) It's amazing how straight across bangs really make people look younger xD I think wondering what we look like with those heavy straight-cut bangs is a curiosity that almost every girl has :p Did you see my comment on you FaceShop post? Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Beautiful!

This was really insightful!
ReplyDeletelovely blog! your gorgeous :)
Cheers, Jesa
with or without short bangs u look just the same, AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteHey Sophia!!
ReplyDeleteYayy! I'm so happy you stopped by my blog again! hehe xD don't worry about the long comment! I love reading it! lovess it! I was so happy to see a comment from you :)
Lol Berkeley isn't really my style either...I miss home(OC)! But if I had to choose between Berks & SF, I like SF better! But if only mother nature didn't screw around with the weather so much!! GOSH! seriously, what is up with this bipolar BS?! ugh...this is what gets people sick! That's so sad that it was empty! =/ Last year around this time, the weather was sunny all the way through summer! No bs rain like right now...Sigh...I really don't know why we're still getting rain. I didn't go to the festival this weekend, but thinking of next weekend if the weather is nice! hehe
CBS is actually in SF! haha I don't think any of the news stations would want to be in Berkeley, just because it's better to be in a larger metropolitan city :P Although there is a lot of news that does get reported from the Berk campus. lol :P I'm interning in the newsroom, so just cold hard news :P Yes, yes! I sure am going home to SoCal after I graduate! :)
Poo, that sucks how they gave you just a half bar of soap! haha I lovee it when beauty shops give you tons of samples...it's so awesome! lol xD Yeah definitely! I've been craving for good Korean food! hehe >:P
I'm actually not wearing any circle lens in my photos! hehe they're just plain old, regular Acuvue Color contacts in honey xD I can't wait to see pics of you with your circle lens whenever they arrive! I notice that your eye color is pretty light in your pics, so do you wear color contacts for now?
Hope you had a good weekend! :)
<3 caroline
Hey Sophia, I would love to know more about this farm sanctuary!! :)
ReplyDeleteyour posts are always so entertaining =D lol @ the evil face hahah. I think you look great with the bangs.. maybe because i really like straight bangs to begin with. there were a few times when i was about to cut my bangs straight and chickened out so i just kept my side swept bangs. maybe during my next visit!!
ReplyDeleteLOL ur post cracks me up the "ring girl" for the record u look nothing like her well maybe the hott-undead-not trying to kill u version hahah those clip on bangs are ridiculously cute! u look very edgy with bangs loves it<33
ReplyDeleteHehe :D
ReplyDeleteaaa bangs are sort of strange. When I dye my hair naturally my bangs grow and I keep trimming them .. so pretty soon my hair's all one colour and I have dark bangs xD
I want to try weird anime wigs - like pink long hair! Dress up is always fun :3
Oooo egg custard like that "pudding" stuff, right? When I go to bubble tea I usually give up on counting calories or anything. It's too delicious xD Haha I went on the anti-diet when I was at the convention this weekend and ate so muchhhh.
Ooh I've been wanting to buy clip-on bangs forever but never took the leap because I didn't want to buy bad quality stuff online and was too lazy to go to the store where I usually get my extensions (parking and traffic is a bitch!). Thanks for the link babe!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's so cool! I've never seen clip-on bangs before!
ReplyDeleteYou look really nice with them on! ^_^
