Hopefully that title makes sense lol. I just got my hair cut, and I feel like my bangs don’t look how they did the last time I got this cut. They seem much more, like, pointy? Less flowy…

I’m guessing people will say it has to do with how I’m styling them, but last time I got this cut, it seemed like even when they dried naturally, they didn’t look so flat and pointy. There was just more movement and flowy-ness. Is it because they are more layered / not all one length?

The first pic is of my bangs now and the second pic is what they looked like last time I got this cut / what I want them to look like.

Any advice is appreciated!

Looking for help identifying this piece. It’s marked on the bottom: “Handcrafted in China — Mesa International — Warner, New Hampshire” (oval stamp).

Unlike most Mesa International pieces I can find online, this one has no hand-painted design…just a solid ivory/cream crackle glaze all over with the little swirls on top. Amphora/vase shape, pinched spout, roughly 9–10” tall. Wondering if anyone recognizes this as a specific pattern or shape name, or has seen an undecorated piece from their China-made line before. Any info on age, series name, or where to find a match would be great. Photos of the piece and the bottom mark attached.

I’ve tried tightening all of the screws and cleaned the blades, but the noise remains. It makes a similar noise when I spin it manually too. Is this a balance issue or something like a wire rubbing against something as it spins?
