Well, my hair has officially reached awkward stage number one. It's at that point where it looks less like a hairstyle and more like a mop on top of my head. The fact that my hair is naturally curly doesn't help the situation because it sticks up in every direction. Enter Headbands.... what I once used to hold back my bangs (which have now grown out into bangs finally) I now use to push up the unruly mess of wavy bits at the back. I'm finding it's working for me. Here's a pic...
As you can see, I flat ironed my bangs and curled them just a bit to give them flounce, then I blow dried the top half-straight (I thought pin straight would look funny, and curly looked funny too) but left the kinks in it, and then I put in a headband to push up the kinky hair at the back and leave the bangs out. Sounds complicated to describe, but it was actually rather easy to achieve with just a bit of pomade and my trusty blow drier. Took all of 5 minutes.
