My hair goes to my bra strap. My "bangs" are well below my chin. I am thinking about cutting my bangs again. I have very light eyebrows so I don't have a lot of definition between my eyes and my forehead.
Bangs are drastic and dramatic, but I am trying to figure out a style to give my hair shape.
So what say the peas? Bangs, no bangs, ideas???

I've recently gone back to real bangs (mine were formerly long like yours, and generally hung in my face). They're now about eyebrow length, still brushed to the side, but I'm enjoying not having that big hunk of hair hanging across my right eye all the time.

I went back to bangs a few years ago. I keep thinking I'm going to let them grow out, but as soon as they get long I cut them again. I will probably have bangs until the day I die. Besides, they hide my forehead wrinkles.

I have a bad cowlick (that does not look right) and have to keep bangs. In October I got a horrible eye infection above my eye and forehead and was never so glad to have them. While people either love them or hate them, it has been said that they make you look ten years younger. I am just going with that belief.

For myself I'm a no banger  I like the ease of not having to mess with them. I do think bangs look nice on some people...especially the side swept bang look. |

hmmm I always have bangs but a few years ago I decided I wanted something different. Always apart my hair on the side (natural part won't do anything else) I took my bangs at the part and sectioned a thin section out. they might be a 1/2 inch thick (from hair line back) and I took them across my forehead from my part to the outside of my left eyebrow and cut them at an angle shorter at the part side and longer at the eyebrow so when I wear my hair down they are not really bangs and they blend into my hair better. and when I wear my hair up I have some bangs but they are kinda long. I straighten them so they sway to the side. this gives me both no bangs and bangs.

I started growing out my bangs last summer for really the 1st time ever. They are now just passed my chin. The growing out phase has been brutal at times. I'm dealing with the no bang look pretty well. Gotta admitt that I sometimes think about cutting them again, but think I'll hold out for a while longer.

I just went back to bangs earlier this summer. My friend who is also my hairdresser told me I look much younger - nothing wrong with that! i posted a pic on Facebook and I noticed that three friends are all of a sudden sporting bangs  |

I like the way I look with a side bang. It's bit more to fuss with and as soon as they get the least bit in need of a trim they start poking my eyes, but I think it looks so much better when I pull my hair back to have something loose in the front instead of just a slicked back ponytail. Mine are always long enough that I can pin them back or to the side if I want. The only really frustrating thing about them to me is that I mess with them a lot, brush them to the side, etc so they get oily much faster than the rest of my hair.

I've never, ever, had a hairstyle without bangs. I feel weird without them. I tend to bend them a little with a round brush when I dry them and sweep most of them off to the right.

I have bangs. I have a very high forehead and don't like the way I look without bangs. I tried to grow them out once about 10 years ago. I wasn't thrilled with the look so I went to a stylist and asked for her suggestion of what I should do that would look nice. First thing she said was "you need bangs". Lol. I had just spent over a year growing them out. LOL. I guess I will always have bangs.

I have had bangs since I had hair to grow them! I have very light, redhead eyebrows, so even though I do pencil in my brows, I don't have to fuss with them too much, 'cause my bangs and glasses cover them. I would feel nekkid without my bangs!

No bangs. Can't stand to have hair in my face. And my hair is to thin to just have a few covering my forehead. I grew them out years ago and do not regret it. I much prefer to just tuck my hair behind my ear.

I grew mine out and have never gotten more compliments. I guess lots of people in my life don't care much for bangs.

I feel your pain. My eyebrows are nearly non existent.
I just started a new thread with lovely photos of myself, to figure out what to do next. I'm ready to bang again, I think.

I had bangs for most of my life but about 8 years ago I grew then out and will probably never have bangs again. It's hot where I work and they would always be sweaty and stringy at work. I hated it. Maybe if I win the lottery and can retire I'll grow then back.

Like a previous poster, I have an angled bang that kind of blends in with the rest of my hair and kind of looks like a side bang...does that make sense??? I have really fine but thick hair and real side bangs would never stay to the side because of the weight. As much as I would love to grow out my hair I know bangs look better on me.

I go back and forth...I tell people all the time that bangs are my poor man's alternative to botox.  |

I'm a bangs gal. My girlfriend that is a hair dresser says they are my security blanket.  I have wrinkles in my forehead from always raising my eyebrows, and I hate them, so they must be covered. The same girlfriend as mentioned above, just came to visit last week. I hadn't seen her in 18 years and she "fixed" my bangs for me. She added more and cut them on a slight angle so I don't have to do crap to them! It's awesome! Now if I can find a hairdresser who can keep it this way, I will be set! |

I would need to see your picture, but would probably vote no bangs. I think it's the same as men and mustaches - about 90% of men look better without them. But there is that 10% (e.g., Tom Selleck) who just look much better WITH a mustache.
ETA - I just changed my percentages, because Morellis and Neicey both look nice with bangs, so that skews my numbers already.

I tend to bend them a little with a round brush when I dry them and sweep most of them off to the right. same here! except I sweep to the left. FWIW I wish I felt comfortable without them, as then I wouldn't feel so "naked" when swimming or caught in the rain and they are all slicked back. |
