ali: the big bang (part 1 of 2) - the curse of the threehead.

there are tons of things in life that i would like to be - the next edie sedgewick, an academy award winner, a martial arts expert, a reality tv star, a semi-professional juggler. the thing i really REALLY want to be though? the cool chick with the bangs. 

i will never be the cool chick with the bangs. i was cursed with the threehead

most people complain that their hairline is receding, that their forehead is too big, that there is too much space between their eyebrows and their hair. i wish that i had this problem. my eyebrows are too high, my hairline too low, and my forehead too small to have bangs. it is 100% a curse. 

when i was little, i tried to fix my threehead with a razor. i shaved off a quarter of an inch of my hairline, with the expected disastrous results. i was in like 5th grade, already awkward as HELL, and thought that this would be a brilliant idea. turned out that was false. 

when my hair grew out, i had bangs for 30 seconds, but EVERYONE had bangs in 6th and 7th grade. we thought we were sooo cool, having to "do our bangs" after gym and whatnot. what a fucking joke, we were all so lame. when those grew out, i just cut off all of my hair. 

i tried the side bangs for a while, but i kept getting hair in my eye. hair + contacts is not the best combination. also, my head is not wide enough for a major side part, and a major side part is required for the side-swept bangs. 

i've tried the under the chin layers, and those have worked out relatively well for me, but i've essentially had the same hair style for 6 years, varying only the color and (recently) the length. i can't help but long for really short front layers ala edie (my idol) or supahhh thick and long "in your eyes" bangs, jane birkin style. 

it's just not fair that my head fits into baby hats. i want to be the cool girl with bangs too. you guys know that i would look so much more legit and artsy with long, thick bangs and my super-nerdy glasses. 

the threehead is a curse. maybe i'll start a support group.
