View Full Version : Show me your bangs!

I have bangs that have grown out and I either need to cut them so they don't drive me nuts (they are just long enough to reach the bottom of my eyes) or commit to growing them out. Only my face isn't really good for no bangs, so I am really leaning towards cutting them to eyebrow length. So show me pictures of your bangs to motivate me! :)

Oh, yay!! I started this thread when I first became active on LHC, before I realized a lot of regulars won't post in threads like this if they don't know the poster isn't a creeper. Well, I'm not a creeper, and so I was a little embarrassed? that I'd done such an apparent faux pas... and I cut my bangs in shame anyhow. :laugh You both have such lovely, thick hair, that's not what my bangs look like at all! I like the eyebrow length, too, I'm thinking I should stop cutting my short short short. I'm also thinking I should try to get a picture of my bangs to post in my own thread! ;)

Bettie Page Bangs!! They're a bit longer now. I haven't decided if I need a new change. I'll be keeping my eye on this thread for inspiration!

This is what my bangs looked like when I had them. Now I've grown them all the way down to my shoulders. I'm planning on cutting them back some time in the next few weeks though. Personally I think no bangs suit my face better than bangs do, but since I wear my hair up just about everyday I really think I need something to frame my face. Once I get them I'll post a new pic. :)

Mine are in my avatar, and a larger version of my avatar on my profile page.

I have been having serious inner turmoil over growing them back out because they need to be cut every 3 weeks. I love them, but they are certainly not easy to maintain.

Dovetail, I heart your hair!! I like the longer bangs, and the wisps of hair around your face, that is just so cute!

Tambalina, THOSE are my favorite bangs EVER!!! I had mine like that for awhile last year, they are the reason I can't seem to do away with bangs altogether.

Freckled.Thing, your bangs are cute, I love how they are wavy and stay out of your eyes! Mine seem to curve directly into mine! :laugh

I think I need to maybe cut mine a little thicker? I have a narrow fringe, and every picture in this thread has way thicker fringe than me... I need to post pics so you can all tell me how to fix mine. :laugh I'll try to take some this afternoon. :)

Okay, I finally took a pic! My bangs are longish again and starting to drive me a little crazy. If they get any longer, they just get in my eyes all the time. I'm wondering if part of my not liking my bangs much is because they are thin? I hate cutting more length to add more bangs.

Elanadi honestly I do like your bang as it is a bit side swept, imo I would trim, I also would not cut more length to make it thicker, instead I would let it grow a bit more and have a real side swept bang, I think you would look very pretty with it :-)

Elanadi
September 17th, 2012, 05:44 PM
How do I make them stay sideswept? I feel like I'm forever pushing them out of my eyes, and I hate hate hate when they hang straight down. And I'd rather not rely on clips if I don't have to (my, aren't I demanding? :laugh)

There are so many stunning bangs in this thread!

Here's a current pic of my bangs:
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q233/clairebowman/snapshot.jpg

I got them cut half an inch above my eyebrows over a month ago and now I'm just letting them go down to my eyelashes. I like riding through various lengths of blunt bangs before going back in for a trim.

^-^ thanks everyone for the compliments. I love looking at all the different styles.
To get your bangs to stay to the side when you get out of the shower (preferably before bed) pin them to what ever side with a bobby pin and leave them there. After a few weeks they'll get the hint (and by then you'll want to have them on the other side!) switching sides does add volume though. I had mine kind of thin at first, but I hated seeing my forehead through them and since I have thicker hair I didn't mind the extra cut.

Do they really get trained? I thought that was wishful thinking! :laugh: I might try that! I can always cut them again anyhow, that is one of the benefits of bangs! :) Thank you!

Hehe yes! I've always had long bits in front, never bangs, and when I got my first side swept style it would split right down the middle @.@ my auntie is a stylist (and also the one who cut my hair) and she said to do it when hair was wet, until it dried. She also said a flat iron could help, but we don't use such torture devices here :p it took mine a good week to behave itself.

Here's mine! They look kinda flat and wonky here because I bathed and they got wet and then dried funny. They'll be washed and blown dry in the morning, but here they are. Also, photo bombing cat haha

Here are mine! These were taken very soon after I first cut them.

I like how I can wear them as a straight across fringe...

But I can also push them off to the side for a side swept bang look. :)

Kina- your bangs look lovely!! I get frustrated with mine because they sometimes part in the middle if I don't comb them into place while they're still wet. Otherwise, they hang kinda funny...

spidermom- you and your bangs are ADORABLE! I like them both ways!

BrendaLoan, Wow...! Your hair thickness is awesome--even though you have a quite thick fringe your hair still has lots of volume. *thud* ...And that is your natural wave? *thud #2* Very, very beautiful.

I don't have a fringe, so I have nothing to show, but still very nice to check out this thread and remember days gone by~ :o I've had a fringe on and off, and I do miss it at times!
