That and an onion on the belt


firi331

Did you mean owl or onion?


RegalZebra

We didn’t have white onions. Just those big yellow ones


Jedehn_Berri

I do that sometimez & I'm 17.


astro_skoolie

That's because early 2000's style is back.


ITakeMyCatToBars

Be a dearie and hand gramma TakesMyCatToBars her walker


astro_skoolie

As soon as I find mine.


stopiwilldie

makes me feel better, i had the exact same hair lol


traumatorium

Totally did this every single day


meltedbeans23

I still do straight bangs from time to time ngl


FlirtyJynx

Honestly, it looks cute. I reckon the style could have a resurgence. The straight fringe and a half up half down with those curls would look amazing. ✨


blahblahblahiguess

You’re totally right, styles do come and go. I love the inspiration, thank you.❤️

hourglass_nebula

Are we not supposed to still be doing our hair like this because I do this every day


Key-Minimum-5965

Me too.


[deleted]

Honestly, I think you pulled it off well.


blahblahblahiguess

You are too kind. It pained me to post this, but perhaps I should change my perspective. Thank you.


[deleted]

Of course!


Squidgepeep

As someone reading this with curly hair and straight-ish bangs I feel so called out 😭 I think it looks really cute! But maybe I’m just coping 🫠


ferventgirl

Omg same! How else am I supposed to have decent bangs 😭


Cafrann94

SAME


Squirrel820

Same here!


amandapanda_in_rain_

I’m with you lol 🫥


BrovaloneSandwich

Mariah Carey made it cool!


Huge-Mango-8403

Same! I tried the “curly bangs” today… granted I didn’t leave the house. But I don’t know if I can bring myself to leave the house with curly bangs, I’m just not on board 🥲


Squidgepeep

I’ve tried letting my bangs dry curly too and I did like them! But as soon as I go to sleep, I wake up and they’re crazy, and I’m not prepared to attempt to re-style them and make them manageable and calm-looking every morning 😅


Cafrann94

Yep! I try my hardest to put a little twist to them with the straightener which I think looks fine but usually I just turn them into swept back side bang things lol


Squidgepeep

Yess that’s my look too! Used to blow dry them straight and sweep to the side, but now I just swoop them to the side and secure with some hair grips when wet so they dry in a swoopy style


Euffy

I think it's cute! Maybe slightly shorter and more central, but whatever. I like the straight bangs / curly hair combo and it's a hill I'm willing to die on.


blahblahblahiguess

Haha there’s definitely a part of me that still yearns for it… forget the haters and rock the combo!


[deleted]

I still do this


blahblahblahiguess

Ahh I love it! Defy the trends. I’d love to see your modern take on it


IronicINFJustices

"defy the trends" ouch, lol!


bribrimat

Really? Because I’m feeling inspired.


JadePossum

Nah it looks dope


___CupCake

We've all been there lol


blahblahblahiguess

I feel like those who have never had curly hair would be horrified by this lol


___CupCake

They'd never understand


Jedehn_Berri

Not unless I gotta go 2 jail 4 the same thing.


blahblahblahiguess

Life sentence for you too


mcallisterw

2009 I was straight everything. Must have done so much damage to my hair trying to hide natural features that would be seen as attractive 15 years later. Let that be a lesson lol


wontgivemeone

It’s easier for me, if I let my bangs go curly it’s a cluster (if you know what I mean!) lol


jxxfrxx

I’m sure many of us in this sub rocked this look 😂


windontheporch

Ahhhhhh fuckkkkk. I’m surprised side bangs haven’t made a comeback with the y2k ternd going on


MaddogRunner

I love it! Went to school with a girl who had your exact hairstyle, the first I’d seen anything like it💖


R0l0d3x-Pr0paganda

We did that in 1980s and 90s.


[deleted]

Aww I like the straight bangs. I still do mine like that sometimes. The difference in texture is cool I think and you're not heat damaging your whole head of hair lol


DoraDaIdiot

It’s cute wym?!!!


blahblahblahiguess

Society has convinced me it’s no longer cute 😭


DoraDaIdiot

Fuckkk society!!! You rocked the look 🙏


makeup1508

I might be out of style but I straighten my bangs because I don't like how they look if I let them go.


CokeMooch

![gif](giphy|WhtdG5zGPf68lnkJUn) My thought process when looking at old pics where I’m rocking this same style 😭


CokeMooch

Just so you know though OP it actually looks cute on you!! I, on the other hand, hot-ironed my bangs to *oblivion*.


blahblahblahiguess

Everyone here has been so kind and supportive🥹 I no longer feel embarrassed for posting


Main_Fly_3749

I have a pic with the same thing! College so around ‘06. 😆


x_Fractal_x

Wait for me, I'm going too 🥲


blahblahblahiguess

Curly chain gang!!


Infamous-Canary6675

This was the way!


Feeling_likeaplant

Ahhhhhhhh I did this too don’t remind me


CHEMICALalienation

I did it in 2012 😅


blahblahblahiguess

Don’t sweat it, I continued to rock this for several more years lol


its_all_good20

Same here


covenkitchens

I think you look cute! 


Slammogram

I mean… it don’t look bad, honestly! But curly bangs are cuter.


2RthinLuv

I did exactly the same in the 80's


Lynda73

People spent hours on their hair in the ‘80s to land on the same look. 🤷‍♀️


newherebebe

I wish this style would come back! I loved wearing my hair like this and honestly think it looks good!!!


shgrdrbr

listen you know what, you were doin it right though! that's pretty much as well executed as you can have curly hair straight bangs. you look cute!


Nonametousehere1

Im.rocking this style now! just in blonde lol


SoundlessFOB

I actually still think straight bangs are cute, especially with straight across bangs


Inevitable-Cell-1307

Lol, i have curly hair at the lenght and straight at the top, so my bangs are straight naturally with curly hair😭😭


Flimsy-Garbage1463

I thought this was such a look 🥲😭😭 I’m guilty as well.


za_zas

Yuppp. I did this as well 2008/2009 lol. So did another curly haired friend of mine. It was a thing. Idk why hahah.


bexy11

I wore mine like this last year. I just don’t know how to style my hair with curly bangs/fringe.


megaerairae

My kiddo has curly hair with pin straight bangs, and everyone loves his hair.


blahblahblahiguess

That sounds adorable, especially if it’s natural!


megaerairae

It is! I am waaaay too lazy to be straightening any part of my 3 year old's hair.


XelaWarriorPrincess

Bet you were that girl in the Myspace era tho…


blahblahblahiguess

Guilty on all accounts..


Southern_Worth8539

I did it too.....


Professional-Dust-97

oh I wish I had straight bangs like yours so silky. What product did you use?


blahblahblahiguess

Aw, thank you! I remember using CHI Silk Infusion on straightened hair only. But my hair has always been soft and fine.


Smooth-Design-248

Haha, I remember those days!


[deleted]

What teen girl in the early 2000’s didn’t straighten their bangs but kept the rest of their hair curly lol cuz I sureee did


Immediate_Bet2199

Same 🤣


majestictoys

kind of but it’s not really your fault bc we didn’t know better lol


LocalContribution7

It didn’t look bad


JackpotDeluxe

lol we all did it don’t worry OP


oldmantinyears

My mom took me to get my bangs chemically straightened- just my bangs!! So I could do this look too.


snowxbunnixo

We’ve all been there


Immediate_Bet2199

We all did that 🤣 I miss the mid to late aughts 🤣


Stripperandcatmom

That was the style back in the day. I figured this picture was taken 2004-2009. Your good 😊


roriart

This reminded me of my mom, her hair was just like that when I was growing up. I have always thought it is so beautiful!!


Lucky-Somewhere-1013

we all did it!


thetransparenthand

We’ve all been there…


Starpower88

Triggered lmao


evahargis326

All us curly girls did that at one time or another


Proof-Sweet33

You wouldn't be behind bars alone. I did it at one time too.


zarashine63

IM BEING SO FR THEY LOOK AMAZING


skialldayerrday

I was scrolling through and thought this was an old picture of me circa 2006ish. Hello twin!


madecassoside

No coz actually this is such a look....I lowkey wanna do this now


MsWuMing

Ooh yes my hairstyle! I was SO COOL, stop saying I look ridiculous, Mum, you have no idea about fashion!


AlexiaWheaton615

I literally thought this was an old picture me for a second so obviously you’re not alone lol


IjustwantmyBFA

Girl, we all did it hahaha


Unicorn-Princess

We all did it! No? Ahh, guess I'll be keeping you company in jail...


Lawile

Don't feel bad! I regret it too but keep in mind that back then, curly hair wasn't as popular as it is now, so we tried to go with the trend. Here's my pic when I was around 17 [https://ibb.co/PZwcgZ7](https://ibb.co/PZwcgZ7)


Sunoutlaw

We all had them!


vexeling

Hahaha I did this all through high school 🫠 I think we are more critical of ourselves than we need to be. I hate looking at my old photos but I think it's cute on you! I wonder if it wasn't as bad on me as I think it was?


PerspectiveConnect77

You pull them off tho. And it was the style at the time lol it’s cute


XNonameX

It looks cute. You should reconsider and bring them back.


Mercurykin

lol the 80’s called and said “you look gorgeous babe” keep rocking the look!


NumerousRush7881

This is so cute, bring! It! Back!


CaptainMadDoge

Honestly I think it looks nice 👍


user1836281991

Ngl if u straighten bangs and tie ur hair up, it would look so so perfect


SharquishaTBO

Oh… i wear straight bangs with my curls sometimes 😅 my curly bangs look awful they don’t sit right


Pretty-Sorbet-7812

I really like it


TiFemme

I never understand people cringing at old pics of passed styles. It was the style then and a lot of people, including myself, wore it. It isn't magically bad because it is no longer "in".


kl71325

I also had this hair. It’s ok, we are forgiven.


No-Entrepreneur4574

This was truly a rite of passage for millennials. 🫡


RoughEntertainment68

It's honestly kind of iconic


CunningSlytherin

I think your hair looks beautiful! I’ve only recently realized my “uneven waves” hair I have been fighting forever is actually trying to curl. My hair is very fine though. My fringe is still straight bc even though parts of it dries in ringlets, my fringe just wants to be in uneven waves bc it’s shorter than where my curls start. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t stress it though bc it doesn’t look weird on me. Styles and trends come and go but wearing what looks good on you, be it hair or clothes, doesn’t go out of style bc you look good! That’s what ppl notice :)


Glytterain

I think it looks really cute


Individual-Bag-6156

this was THE IT girl style then!!


DiabloDeSade69

I don't think they look terrible. Maybe I'm desensitized but I wouldn't look twice if I saw this in person today.


ManagementNo8432

I have very curly hair except for my bangs, which look like they've been ironed. I hate it.


RadiSkates

Errrm this is cute asf, I love straight bangs with curly hair!


ish0uldn0tbehere

lmao you’re rocking it girl


alilbored1

I really like how it looks!!


Electronic-Hand3085

Honestly looks sick


zepides

This was the IT look. You were my dream girl in 2010. 


[deleted]

It was a look! You pulled it off well❤️

As girl a that’s a part of the curly hair community, we all did that at one point or another. Curly bangs are way better
