I’d always wanted bangs, but I was too scared to take the plunge. One night, after a few glasses of wine, I decided to go for it. I grabbed a pair of scissors, pulled my hair into a ponytail, and chopped off the front section.

At first, I was horrified. The bangs were shorter than I’d intended, and they stuck straight out like a cartoon character. But after some careful trimming and styling, they actually started to look… good.

The next morning, my friends were shocked. “Did you get bangs?!” they asked. When I told them I’d done it myself, they couldn’t believe it. “You look amazing!” one of them said.

That DIY haircut was a win, and it gave me the confidence to try new things. Sometimes, all it takes is a little courage (and maybe a glass of wine) to create something beautiful.
