Your bangs are fantastic! I was picturing something really separate-looking from your hair, blunt and square. Instead, you look fresh and modern. Just give it time ... I hope you end up loving it as much as the rest of us!

Maybe you just need to get used to the fringe if you did not have one before? It looks great and flattering to me!

I have straight across blunt bangs (see my sunglasses post). I once tried sideswept bangs but because I have a significant cowlick it never worked.

Karen,

Really? Truly? I must say that I like it very much. Can you give it a week of styling to really see how you feel about it? Regardless of the fringe issue, can I just say that I absolutely LOVE the colour! It is incredibly flattering on you.

You are all such sweeties for the positive comments. I was feeling a bit down about it on my original post because I went from longer to shorter it was a bit of shell shock. I am learning how to style it and I actually liked the way it looked on the weekend so we're learning to live together. I've also discovered that I should try to shove it too much to the side because I have a funny cowlick in the middle that forces the hair to part funny so I'm just going with the flow on it otherwise it will stick out at all funny angles. Also I was a little norti and gave it a little trim myself to thin it out a bit and it is sitting much better. Now if only I can find a product that will last in my hair all day

I have a cowlick too, so going with the flow is a good idea. Self-trimming IS allowed! Glad to hear you're felling better about your fringe.

I could swear that I commented on this thread earlier this weekend after you uploaded your photo, but don't see the response here. It must have been during one of the computer/internet outages I had while on the road.

I wanted to say that your bangs are actually just what I was going to ask my hairdresser to do next time I go in for a bang trim. I like the medium length sideswept fringe!

Like you, I have a funny cowlick near my part. What I do is just let the part fall where it will - it tends to part even with the center of my right eye - and then I run over my fringe a couple times with a flatiron so that it won't flip out in an odd direction. This also helps "set" the part a bit better.

I'll sometimes spray a bit of this spray wax or rub some of this pomade into my hands and lightly run it over my fringe & the rest of my hair. A tiny bit of product keeps the frizzies/baby fine hairs around my face from sticking straight out in dry weather, helps keep my part/shape a bit more set, and yet both products (when used sparingly) are light enough that they don't cause me to get greasy and sticky throughout the day.

Not sure if those ideas will help, but I wanted to throw them out there just in case!
