If there was any question that bangs are all the rage, Lena Dunham has sent the final sign. She woke up before all of us this morning and got her face framed, and it’s the best thing she could have done for herself, and for us.

“Got bangs BEFORE 7 a.m. That’s gotta be illegal, right?” she captioned her Instagram pic, and, being as influential as she is, we can already feel the legislation changing, as everyone’s calling up their salons to get their fringe on for fall.

With all the celebs who’ve gone for bangs lately (see Jessica Biel’s new ‘do, Karly Kloss’s banged tranformation, Lucy Hale’s fake bangs), Lena’s look has us most inspired. It just looks so good on her!

In Vogue this week, Lena Dunham wrote poetically about her first time cutting her own bangs.

“I will never forget the first time I cut my own bangs: the power, the adrenaline. I was twelve years old, standing in the fluorescent light of my parents’ bathroom with a pair of orange-handled craft scissors, unaware that I was standing on the precipice of self-definition,” she writes. “The sound of the first chop, thick and harsh, was thrilling. I watched my hair pile up in the sink, then looked into the mirror: I had given myself blunt, successive layers that resembled a staircase headed to nowhere. Nothing about the haircut could have been perceived as skilled, fetching, or even sane. But I had never felt more alive.”

Her bangs today are sophisticated, glamorous, and incredibly chic. She’s come a long way since that coming-of-age moment with scissors and sink, paving the way for all of us to fully embrace our authentic selves. To the salon!
