Is this a good hairstyle for me?

Sheila

I had my hair cut recently...I have an enormous forehead and keep trying to lessen its impact as I simultaneously try to grow out my hair.

So...I've tried a couple of styles of bangs that sweep to one side or another. But now I have full, 'fringe-y' bangs and I'm kind of digging the look. And so does my husband.

What do you think? (sorry about the grainy photo, bad lighting, etc.).

Thanks for your honest opinion.

I like the bangs. They are just the right length to work well with your glasses. And if your husband digs it...definitely a keep!

I have a high forehead too, and it can be a challenge. I had to grow my bangs out because I started wearing my hair with its natural wave, and if I have bangs, they are stick straight and don't work with the rest of my hair.

Super cute. You could go full on Cleopatra too if you like.

I like the bangs - I am a confirmed bangs-wearer myself. But I think with your face shape you could wear non-bangs looks well too.

Your hair color is lovely also!

I think you look great with your new haircut! I'm a bit jealous of people who can wear bangs. When my hair is cut like that it curls and becomes unruly!

I like the bangs too -- they seem to work really well with your hair's texture and weight, and with your face shape.

I like it a lot. It frames your face nicely and i can see through the graininess that you look pretty

NAY My opinion you have to be brave trying several haircuts without bangs to have "a new and fresh look". Your hair is thick enough to have "a short hairstyle" shorter than in your photo.
As I also have tried some trial and errors in my own haircuts too from the pixie haircut until the long hairstyle for almost six years I tried cut my own hair and played with so many hairstyles with it, you can watch my pictures in my websites as your references even though I always apply 'bangs" too

My bangs always there because I tried several times and I looked older when I ditch bangs in all my hairstyles on my short cut hairstyles or my long cut hairstyles.
However, seeing your face shape I am sure that you can ditch your bangs without worries, just try to cover your cheeks with your hair to make your face shape oval, make a short cut and pull your left and right side hair to cover your cheeks and let your back hair cut longer than the left and right sides that's all and get the fresh new look with a new hairstyle without bangs..

For your husband herewith is an additional reference you can watch http://stylemann.com/best-american-haircut-ideas/

Try with your best new hairstyles in the future and good luck for you

I like the bangs on you! I am sure you look good with a sideswept fringe as well. But this is fun.

I think the bangs are great. I think you could also experiment with a little edgier cut or shape of the rest of your hair while still keeping some length and swingyness to it with the full bangs. Maybe your stylist can help you experiment with some variations on the bob but not too extreme so you can regrow fairly easily if you prefer the softer more traditional style.

The bangs look great on you. If you and your husband both love them then I say that's a win.

Yes this thread is old but, amazingly, I am still debating this issue so don't mind the additional opinions of our wise forum members. Have let my hair grow long but don't like it so will get it cut in January to a just-above-the-shoulders length, which should help.

I like it and think you can make it even more edgy.

Sheila - I really like Angie's suggestion of having a Cleopatra cut, if you are thinking of having a change in January. I like a full fringe on you very much.
