morostheos Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I had bangs as a child, but I hated how I always had to get them trimmed, so I've never had them since. As it is I only cut my hair about once a year. Hairdressers always scold me for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franciscanheart Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 [quote name='Saint Therese' post='1948778' date='Aug 14 2009, 11:38 AM']I was thinking more of the former. Why are the horizontal ones so terrible? [/quote] Then yeah, do it. The horizontal ones are just too block-y and hardly anyone looks good with them. I've lied before and told people I liked the way they looked in them. In general, people do not look good with straight bangs. Most people actually just look like idiots. The Kardashian girl is my first thought. I don't think she's hideous. But I think she's MUCH cuter when her bangs are pinned back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 [quote name='hugheyforlife' post='1948749' date='Aug 14 2009, 01:03 PM']if by bangs you mean anything relatively horizontal and/or above or at the eyebrow, NO NO NO NO NO NO.[/quote] They should never be a blunt, straight across cut. Even if they have the appearance of being straight across there should be subtleties to the cut that make it less drastic, harsh, and nerdy. I've seen my sister in law do this (she's a pro hairdresser) and it looks good, but I can't really describe her technique. I don't wear bangs because of curls (not since the 90's when big curled bangs were hugely popular ), and since I don't want to worry about trimming them every few weeks my girls don't have them either.

rizz_loves_jesus Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) I think fringe bangs look really adorable on oval faces. But that's just me Edited August 14, 2009 by rizz_loves_jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyP89 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I've never quite gotten over having bangs; trims were annoying and my face got greasy quicker, I found. But maybe someday I'll get slanted wispy ones. I have a high forehead, so it would look nice. Bet it would for you, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn't look like an idiot. She wears the rest of it in a ponytail (most of the time). It's pretty much the way I wore my hair in high school, too (though she's only in middle school). It's cute. If it's not your cup of tea, no problem. Not everyone looks good with it, but I think she looks adorable.

Thomist-in-Training Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 [quote name='Brigid' post='1950841' date='Aug 16 2009, 09:53 PM']+3 I wore bangs when I was little, because my hair was straight and it looked cute. but when my hair started getting curly my bangs freaked out and didn't know what to do and looked super awkward for a while. but now I just have long, curly, same-length hair that I part on the side when I'm bored.[/quote] I have a high forehead too, and I used to have bangs, the long kind that I often pushed to the side. But then I got tired of having them trimmed and wanted a more "classic" look, and also, I almost never blowdry my hair and you have to do that or curl them if you want them to look good. Conversation about this with my friend Kat: "Thomist, why don't you get bangs?" "I used to have them. They were OK. They looked pretty good, but they take effort, and I'm not trying to impress anybody." "You could impress [i]me[/i] !" "Heh. Nope." No more bangs. Anyways, my summary is, if you're willing to spend 10 minutes or whatever to blowdry them, go for it. If you don't like it, they'll grow back. Just don't get 'em too short, you can always cut them shorter later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
