I can envision you really rocking the looks in your inspiration photos. I would not go for bangs immediately. Once you get the length you want, see how you like it for a bit and then if you still feel inclined to try bangs, you can always do so. This is from someone who is I still growing out bangs that I got tired of within several months, so you can keep that in mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-or-no-bangs#post-1446847 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 00:14:47 +0000 Anonymous 1446847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd start with no bangs for the reasons you described and also because, like Deb I prefer no bangs with glasses, too much going on. I think you'll find the shorter length really refreshing and especially suited to your very pretty hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-or-no-bangs#post-1446820 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 23:23:00 +0000 Gigi 1446820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the no-bangs look. I just recently grew mine out after having them my whole life. Sometimes I think about going back to bangs, but I am not sure, so I keep on with what I have. I think that you just want to be sure that you have the hair covering up a bit of your forehead at the part (as you show in your own pic, and like the inspiration pics show), as that helps minimize a large forehead (I have one too). Or you could go with very long bangs and sweep them to the side ("sideswept bangs"), which are supposed to be good for a large forehead (although I think that requires quite a bit of product and maybe touch-ups throughout the day; not sure).</p> <p>The problem I run into with bangs is that my hair is only wavy, not curly. I don't know how curly your hair gets, but if I have bangs, they are straight and not wavy, so they don't match the rest of my hair. I don't know if that would happen in your case. For me, that would be an argument against having bangs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-or-no-bangs#post-1446795 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 22:40:27 +0000 rachylou 1446795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't you look pretty with your curls! I like the inspiration pics and so I say no bangs. I don't feel bangs would add. But I'm no hair stylist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-or-no-bangs#post-1446729 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 21:02:23 +0000 Aziraphale 1446729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Deb: '<span>the expanse of sin on your face' -- hahahaaaaaa, awesome typo)</p> <p>I think I might have an expanse of sin on my face, too. ;-)</span> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-or-no-bangs#post-1446694 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 19:48:06 +0000 Sal 1446694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like the cuts! I say no bangs but a soft layering at the front that can merge in. I think the cut will suit you very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-or-no-bangs#post-1446669 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 19:15:01 +0000 Anonymous 1446669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another one for no bangs! If cut the right way to encourage the curl I don't think you will need the bangs since the width due to the curls will balance out your facial proportions</p> <p>Also, my DD uses rice paper (Palladio) to blot her oily skin through the day and it does not disturb her makeup. She recently bought some oil blotting sheets from NYX. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-or-no-bangs#post-1446662 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 19:04:14 +0000 deb 1446662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer no banks with glasses.&nbsp;Your forehead does not look large to me. Your glasses break up the expanse of sin on your face, IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-or-no-bangs#post-1446660 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 19:00:30 +0000 Style Fan 1446660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the looks you have chosen and I think they will work well with your hair.&nbsp; I also do not think your forehead looks like a billboard.&nbsp; I like the no bangs look on you and I would think it would be easier to deal with for you.&nbsp; This is coming from a die hard bang lover.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-or-no-bangs#post-1446597 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 17:45:33 +0000 Aziraphale 1446597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your forehead does NOT look like a billboard! :-)</p> <p>You have a very pretty face, and I think the no-bangs look is lovely on you. (Your current chin-length bangs don't really count as bangs). Why not go for a no-bangs style for a while and see how you like it? It is definitely true what you say about them picking up oil from your face. I have the same problem.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-or-no-bangs#post-1446502 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 15:22:07 +0000 Suz 1446502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have gorgeous hair and a really pretty face. How about trying with no bangs and see how it works? If it doesn't, you can always cut a fringe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-or-no-bangs#post-1446501 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 15:21:45 +0000 crutcher 1446501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look of wispy bangs...You can style up with an already finished top or you can just let it go and have a casual do..I always have bangs and loveth the look...smile... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-or-no-bangs#post-1446500 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 15:19:33 +0000 AM 1446500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another nay sayer -- no bangs. I really enjoy the two pictures and if your gut keeps calling you to no bangs -- I'd listen to that gut reaction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-or-no-bangs#post-1446455 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 13:59:05 +0000 approprio 1446455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you'd suit bangs. I wear a fringe and I also have the greasy skin and glasses&nbsp;problems. I've found that short with layers helps keep it off the face, and tucking hair into specs looks kinda cool.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-or-no-bangs#post-1446452 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 13:53:19 +0000 Mander 1446452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, the oily face thing is definitely an issue. I have annoyingly oily skin despite various attempted solutions. Still, that supposedly helps prevent wrinkles, so I guess there is some benefit... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-or-no-bangs#post-1446434 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 13:19:31 +0000 celia 1446434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can I be the nay sayer and opt for no bangs....I think that if you do a cut like #3 the cut will balance out nicely your features.<br />I also have a big forehead and although bangs cover it up and make my hair look fuller I also feel that the look than looses movement.<br />Also(and this might be just me) it &nbsp;is kind of a trade off between bangs and having a cleaner/less oily forehead.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-or-no-bangs#post-1446427 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 13:02:58 +0000 Anonymous 1446427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same forehead as yours, and prefer bangs. I think you will, too, once you get used to them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-or-no-bangs#post-1446424 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 12:48:34 +0000 trekkiegirl 1446424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bangs!!! If you do, there are lots of ways to solve the problems you've had before with them. Also check out naturallycurly.com it's a great resource </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-or-no-bangs#post-1446422 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 12:27:34 +0000 Mander 1446422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to get my hair cut so that it falls to shoulder length, perhaps some more layers. I want to encourage it to curl more (see inspiration photos). Right now my hair seems overgrown, frumpy, and unkempt. I have a hard<br /> time getting it to look like I have any kind of style and I'm just a bit<br /> bored overall.</p> <p>Almost everything I'v<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/manderw/hair/" rel="nofollow">e pinned</a> for inspiration has no bangs. I had them for a long time but they have now grown out to chin length. Bangs make my forehead look less like a billboard, but they are always getting caught in my glasses and tend to get greasy quickly.</p> <p>So, what do you think? Bangs or no bangs? </p>
