Hair inspiration: Anna Karina

[ source ]

I've been having such a hard time deciding whether or not I wanted to get bangs, it's kind of ridiculous. You'd think I was making some kind of life-or-death decision. But nope. It's just my hair, which, I need to remind myself, will grow out if I don't like how it looks.

At this point, I'm leaning towards having bangs, and one of the main reasons is because of this lady: Anna Karina. Anna was a Danish actress popular in the 1960's, who is most well-known for being the muse of French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard. I'm ashamed to say I've never seen a single one of her movies, but every time I come across a photo of her, I'm absolutely smitten. In addition to having a wonderful 1960's wardrobe, her hair is always enviably perfect:

Will my bangs turn out as picture-perfect as Anna's? Well, that remains to be seen...but I am excited to see how they turn out this time around. I have had bangs before, but I think this time I'll go for a different look.




This time, I'm envisioning lots of 60's-style bouffants. I can't wait to experiment!
