Can't ride a bike to work in loli) was put my wet hair into two low ponytails and let it dry as is. I left the front soft, framing my face a bit, and let them friz out just a bit to give them some poof. Worked great for a more toned down look. I did put old fashioned ribons over top the elastics, but other than that i left it as is.<br />If you have long curly hair it works great cause drying it wet on your head prevents frizz and you can always put a bit of mousse in to help it stay in ine shape.Queen of the Flying Bumblebeeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11113906473587300241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023134183255884485.post-59550686322832584792012-07-01T08:32:54.658-07:002012-07-01T08:32:54.658-07:00I don't have bangs, but this post has finally ...I don't have bangs, but this post has finally made it clear to me why some headdresses just look terrible on me--no bangs! (I got tired of hairdressers complaining that I didn't come into the salon to get my hair coloured and of bangs growing out and into my eyes--my hair grows very fast, so bangs and/or salon colour would mean going in every 2-3 weeks and I can either do that or buy loli clothes.)<br /><br />I usually do one of the following in loli:<br /><br />1) Part my hair on the side. Wear a headband.<br /><br />2) Pull my hair straight back, put it into a high ponytail, and put a fancy bow or clip on it, either using a bow on elastic or a bow on a barrette, sliding the bar through the ponytail just above the elastic so that it doesn't slide out.<br /><br />3) Pull my hair straight back, put it into a high ponytail, braid it and wrap the braid around itself into a bun, which I secure with lots of pins, then add a bow underneath or above in front.<br /><br />4) Do 3, but cover the braided hair with a mini-hat.<br /><br />5) Pull my hair straight back, put it into a low ponytail, braid it, curl it into a bow at the nape of my neck. Add a bow or snood to the bun in back, or combs/clips in front.<br /><br />6) Part my hair in the centre, make two ponytails, put fancy bows/clips on them as in 2.<br /><br />7) Part my hair in the centre, make two ponytails, braid them, curl and pin them into odangoes, add a bow or clip on each.<br /><br />None of these styles is really friendly to the giant head-eating bow on a hair band made out of the same print as your dress or dripping with 3 kinds of lace, but I'm afraid those look much better on my Poupee than they ever did on me.Tiferethttp://tiferet.dreamwidth.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023134183255884485.post-16546992699221444022011-02-06T19:37:52.621-08:002011-02-06T19:37:52.621-08:00I remember that exact feeling when my mom cut my h...I remember that exact feeling when my mom cut my hair too.

I had curly hair, so it always took a lot of fussing to make them behave properly.<br /><br />I used to have longer hair and wore my hair in pigtails quite a bit and they were sausage curled. Now that I have short hair, I typically part my hair on the side. I sometimes pin it back on one side (the side with more hair) with a cute barrette or hairpin. Other times I wear a headband...sometimes with a bow, sometimes without, depending of the style of my outfit. I also have a hair piece that I made for a cosplay a while back (because the character required bangs/fringe and I did not want to cut my hair). I made this hairpiece from my own hair when I had cut it significantly. I had put my hair in several small ponytails and had the stylist cut just above the bands so I could save the hair. It was just long enough to make my hairpiece. I can curl the bangs/fringe just like my own hair because it IS my own hair. To cover up the messy nature of my hairpiece (it was my first try) I wear a wide headband or something.Traeonnahttp://lookbook.nu/traeonnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023134183255884485.post-17288104227524975662011-01-19T08:36:24.504-08:002011-01-19T08:36:24.504-08:00This was such an informative post.

I've been thinking of going lolita for quite some time but I'm still researching the lifestyle and clothing styles; it's a very wide field, with so many different types of loli and all that. Anyways, one of my concerns about being a lolita was my hair and your post has really cleared it up for me. I didn't really want to get front bangs because it would make my naturally round face even more chubby looking. I've had a left part and angled fringe for most of my life, and now that my fringe is growing out I can just part my hair over a little more and my hair will look perfect for lolita!

I finally got some blunt bangs about a month and a half ago because I prefer to wear hairstyles that tend to look better with bangs (large headpieces, soft curls). My forehead seemed huge without bangs, anyway. Now I think I look a bit strange, but I'm slowly getting used to the bangs. They are a bit of a pain to style, though.<br /><br />I was always afraid to get bangs because I have fairly thin hair, and the bangs took up maybe a quater of my total hair (and I can use all the hair I can get!). They are a little thin for my tastes, but I really can't go any thicker unless they started halfway back onto my head, which would be terrible. I think it's worth it, though. They seem to really compliment my heart-shaped face.<br /><br />Now if I could figure out how to make a headbow that doesn't flop over and look terrible... then my bangs will be worth it!Musiinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023134183255884485.post-13960379933276369362011-01-15T11:05:14.174-08:002011-01-15T11:05:14.174-08:00I decided to get bangs for lolita when I was about...I decided to get bangs for lolita when I was about 18, after having awful bangs as a kid - they made my puppy fat look awful! Now I love them, but keeping up with long bangs means that I'm learning to do different things such a sweep them to the sides or pin them back. AMO does a very cute pinned-up style with her bangs in a magazine I have, where she twists them on a diagonal to one side and then adds a giant hairbow - it seems super retro and I love it for when my bangs won't cooperate ;o;Victoria Suzannehttp://lolita-charm.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023134183255884485.post-30081703393970787892011-01-15T09:48:45.883-08:002011-01-15T09:48:45.883-08:00Thank you for this post.
I don't like bangs --...Thank you for this post.<br />I don't like bangs -- I think they're the girl version of a moustache, i.e. ugly as a rule and something only very few people can pull off successfully, especially with the blunt, straight, long variety that seems so popular with lolita nowadays. <br />That said, there's so much variety out in lolita -- we have lolitas with curly or kinky hair, people with cowlicks, people who have very little and/ or fine hair, oily foreheads -- any number of reasons why people wouldn't want to or <i>couldn't</i> wear bangs. Toting bangs as the +~*essential*~+ for any aspiring lolita's hairstyle is baffling to me ... but I suppose that's what the fashion is at the moment. <br /><br />Personally, I go with the side-part, though I try to keep my hair out of my face.Billienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023134183255884485.post-49387387771817400452011-01-15T06:39:32.621-08:002011-01-15T06:39:32.621-08:00I got bangs again, after long years, specifically ...I got bangs again, after long years, specifically for loli. They suit me since I have an oval and thin face but they're always ruined when I sleep. Still, headbands would never sit without them.
