I learned that bangs were called “the devil’s haircut” by Christians during my medieval research and am pleased to stick with the devil’s haircut and grow them occasionally into their longer “curtain bangs” version until I get sick of brushing them off my eyes and cut them back again. I like that my bangs are a warning to men (and some women) that Im not gonna be what they think of as “normal.” They’re my red flag, my douchebag filter, my superhero costume.

I love this, Carolita, especially "They’re my red flag, my douchebag filter, my superhero costume." Maybe I'm afraid to let go of them because they are an outward symbol that I'm not big on conforming...

Now I know where that Beck lyric came from! ("Got a devil's haircut / In my mind")
