Bangs/Fringe or no Bangs/Fringe?

**DreamWalker** · February 10th, 2014, 09:45 PM

I do not have bangs, I don't think they work with my face. I had them when I was younger, and kind of liked them, but my hair was totally different then (baby fine, with a terminal length at just below shoulder...it's very strange...) I think having bangs or not is a very personal choice, and there isn't one answer that will work for everyone. For myself, I'm quite happy without bangs

I have usually had bangs. When I grow them out, just when they get to about collarbone length and really out of the way, I decide I want bangs again! I have done this several times. I am now growing them out and want to keep them grown out this time!

I've just started growing my fringe out. Again. I love fringes, and mine suited me, but the way my hair waves at the front made it hard work. I had to straighten it regularly to keep it looking ok, and one day I noticed all these really short hairs sticking up from where my fringe started. They were at most a quarter of the length of the fringe. I have no idea how long they'd been there but it freaked me out and got me worrying that the hair was breaking off because of the straightening. So, like my fringe though I did, I thought it better to stop damaging the hair and grow it out.

I have a side fringe that I'm growing out, it's so frustrating pinning it into updos! I definitely regret cutting this!
That said, I think they can look nice on most people. Blunt bangs are harder to pull off, but still, not necessarily bad!

I have had a blunt fringe since I was a little girl. I started growing my bangs out in the spring and they are almost chin length now.

I think bangs/fringe look good on people who do have them (just depending on the style, really, some do look atrocious, I'll admit, but I think bangs/fringe can look nice on anyone), though I do not have either. My hair is wavy/curly (goes into a full ringlet at the very ends) and I just can't be bothered to style bangs/fringe everyday to make it look nice or to maintain the shape of them with regular trims. Not to mention my fine hair just cannot hold a style, at all. I also don't like hair hanging in my face all that much either or having it plastered to my forehead when it rains (it rains here a lot). I used to have bangs when I was younger, when my hair was pin straight and I think they would look nice on me, just too lazy.

I am currently growing out my bangs, but I love straight bangs so much and really would love to keep them because they're so cute and look good on my face. But it always seems like they never lay right on my face and they are usually see through and not thick-looking how I'd like them to be.

I have just managed to grow out my fringe to past chin level, took me little over a year. I did like the look of it, but it got oily immediately and looked messy, I had to retouch it with a comb all day. Looks great on other though...

I have blunt Bette Paige bangs and love them. I think most everyone looks good with them.

I think they're great, almost everyone suits one style or another. They can make such a difference to the way people look, without losing length (ideal for me, even an inch and I feel sad lol). I had a fringe last year. I spent the whole summer with a sweaty fringe glued to my forehead. Oh yeah and every night out I looked grim after 3 seconds dancing, which was also great. Not.

I've grown it out now, but I miss it, especially for how it looked in updos.
