Short Bangs / Fringe

[kellinaturalmom]

Anyone out there have short bangs or fringe with long hair? My hair is around BSL and I just cut my bangs pretty short. Like this...

I'll post a picture when my camera battery is charged if anyone cares to see. I would love to see pictures of anyone who would like to share their short bangs!

Hmm, yes I also have shortish bangs - not heavy like Audrey's but short nonetheless. I just don't care for the look of my forehead totally bare for some reason. It just seems to need a bit of fringe - why I don't know. Don't have a high forehead or anything.

I think it may help if the bangs aren't cut back real far into the hair, ie: not a good chunk of the front part of your head. it seems less of a line of demarcation between the long and short sections.

I don't have a pic showing my bangs - I don't think. Most pics are taken from the back. I keep the bangs texturized by razoring off small sections just about weekly. This keeps them light and not laying down flat. Rest of hair is hip / tailbone.

A friend of mine in high school did this and they looked beautiful on her! She was actually inspired by Audrey Hepburn to try it

I have fairly thick, blunt bangs and TBL length hair. I sort of rotate between sideswept and blunt. Every time I decide to grow them out, it never lasts more than a couple months. My head just feels a little too naked and plain without them.

think of the hairstyle Kiera Knightly wore in Pride and Predjudice. I loved her fringe!!!!!

I loved Kiera Knightly's bangs in that movie, too. Mine are cut further back than that now (recent mistake) but I plan to grow them out to look pretty much like hers.

Just last week I had short side bangs cut. I had been growing them out for 2 years and once they got past chin length, I decided I looked better with them. I am currently at BSL

I want to try having no bangs until it's long, and then I'll decide whether I want bangs or not. I feel like I look better with bangs, but we'll see! The plan right now is to eventually cut bangs.

I have short, kind of blunt cut bangs, that sit just above my eyebrows (when I can keep up with the trims! LOL) and the rest of my hair is very long layers, reaching my waist/hips.

This is one of the pictures that inspired me to cut my bangs short.

I used to have no bangs, just long layers, with shortest layer between shoulder & chin length maybe. The bangs are a lot cuter i think.

I think, for me, have no bangs just made my hair seem way too blah & overpowering. Like it would just hang there lifeless. LOL The bangs seem to give it more spunk & attitude. I can let the length grow out without feeling like i'm drowning in too much hair.

I wear my hair up so often... I think bangs make it look more soft, and not as plain.

I love a nice Audrey Hepburn-esque fringe. :inlove:

[jacqueline101]

Mine are pixie style bangs with the side trellis deals on the side they're just below my brow. They're sort of thick but not real thick.

I love bangs:crush: I have longer side-swept bangs, but blunt thicker bangs are adorable too.

Ok so I hate my stupid short bangs.

Aww, that's sort of a bummer. Hopefully after getting used to dealing with them for a week or two, you'll get past the learning curve and enjoy how they look on you.

oh dear, i hope you learn to love your fringe. I've always had a fringe (except for a few years in primary school where i grew it out then had it re-cut). I like it because it frames by face a bit and when i have my hair up i like to still have some hair on show (if you know what i mean). I can't stand what i look like without it now. It is annoying trying to stop it going wind with the weather though!!

Just reviving the thread! Recently I cut my bangs after growing them for a couple months. They were at the tip of my nose and now they're just above my eyebrows. I've had bangs since I was about 10? They've become part of who I am and I just love them!

I love my bangs too, but they're not exactly short though. If you look up Francoise Hardy, those are my bangs. I absolutely love what they do for updos. I dont know if i could go no bangs with long hair that is always up. If i ever cut my hair short enough to wear down then i may grow out my bangs. But then on the other hand, bangs look great with shorter hair too! Im probably bangs for life.

I was just about to make a thread about bangs and who has them. I want to cut mine back in but I'm not sure how to do it with my side growing back in shorter. I love blunt bangs. Maybe I could do side swept until the side grows longer.

Yep! Bangs for life! I always cut mine on the short side, I like them shorter. I also let them grow a little so I get some variation, but I can't stand them when they get past my eyebrows! There's nothing worse then hair in my eyes, to me.:o I do love the look you rock though!

[arr]

Thank you Auni! Honestly ive just grown used to it. To me the most annoying part is that to keep them at the perfect eyelash skimming length i have to trim them no less than every two weeks. I do it myself though and its fast; through trial and error over the years I've perfected my technique.

I absolutely love the short, blunt, "Betty Paige"-type bangs. I love they way they look, but not on me. I've had mine cut that way many times, trying to make myself like them on my face. However, I never think they look good .I have a very round face and blunt bangs make me look like a chubby 8 yr old. I usually rock the side swept bangs. Except in the warmer months, I let them grow long so they're easier to tie up and keep off my face. I overheat very easily and I don't like the look or feel of sweaty hair stuck to my forehead. I'll get them cut again once summer is over. Like others have said, bangs 4 life!
