To Bang or Not to Bang?
 

That is the question.

Ladies, do you wear your hair with bangs or without? I'm thinking I need a change and I wanted to know what everyone's doing out there hair-wise.

(and, guys, before you snicker, keep in mind that bangs are a major commitment because it takes at least a year and a half to grow them out if you don't like them once they're cut. So there :p

I have slanted bangs that I push to the side. I like them, they make my short cut look more polished.

obviously i know a lot about hair b/c my name is mullet - so i can tell you that full on bangs are a no no. But those fun side swept bangs are hot right now

She's gotta be a leper for me not to bang.

No bangs here.

I was traumatized as a child when my mother took me to a hairdresser who sold her on a bowl cut for me. I think the hairdresser did this because short hair needs to be cut more often. :rolleyes: I hated the look, and I was the ONLY girl with short hair in my kindergarten class, if not my entire school. (This was in the late '70s.)

When I was finally allowed to pick my own hairstyle, the first thing I did was grow out the bangs from the bowl cut. Haven't had bangs since. (well, not that sort of bangs... ;) )

William Hung bangs... and thats all of the justification you could ever need to bang ;)

I cant have bangs, my hair is wavy so bangs are never even.

Go for it!

I wore bangs for years, but about a year ago, started to grow them out. They're almost chin-length now, but I'm still taking that extra time to work around them.

FWIW, I once read in a book on anti-aging that women who tend to get a wrinkled forehead would do well to develop a hair style that does include bangs!

I have bangs, but not a whole lot.. I can do the whole side sweep thing, or regular bangs (that cover your forehead) or I can part them and have them on the sides (it sounds odd.. but it isn't, I Promise!) I love 'em :)

So, yes for bangs. I have a roung face, so I tend to look a bit odd without bangs.

oh wow....wrong thread...

Damn, KR, I thought this was a Lifesaver like thread. :p Bangin' like a screen door in a strong wind.

Such a good thread title. Such a bad thread topic.

Even I was hoping this wasn't a hair-related thread, but alas it is :(

I have short short hair and side-swept bangs. I have a big forehead and need to cover that puppy up! Nobody laugh at me. I cry easily...

What are bangs? And why would we want them? What do they do for us?
