Grow them out or get them trimmed and keep 'em?

    *checks calendar* It's not 1991 anymore, so I vote grow them out.

    I think you have a bit too much bang right now.... I suggest grow them out then get the whispy bang going!

    Grow them out a bit and get a side swept bang. :drinker:

    You have great skin and a nice face. Grow them out.

    Hrm. So 6 votes for growing them out so far and 3 for keeping them (all from men). Interesting.

    I've been keeping them for a long time mainly because I feel like they are the only element that really gives my hair "style". I don't really "do" my hair nor do I wear make-up often (as you can see) so without the bangs there's nothing there. Also my husband has an irrational hatred for barrettes which I wear constantly when I grow them out. Still considering it thought, obviously.

    Why not grow them out but do more of a sideswept look? I think the straight bang is more of a young girl look, but a side swept bang or even just some layering/face framing when you grow them out adds style pretty easily. I'm all about low maintenance hair and like the natural styling my hair does just blow drying it when I have some layers in.

    Grow them out. You have no reason to hide.

    i would grow them out, maybe try to a side swept bang to start? Maybe a little layers around your face? I think that would like really nice!

    Grow them out. You look a lot younger and show your pretty face without them

    pfffft my bangs look HOT.

    OP: I'd say grow them out for now...I think it would open your face up a lot. And if you hate them long, just cut them back off!

    Can I pet you? Your hair looks soft.


    And do whatever you think makes you look best. I don't have bangs, but it's because the last time I grew them out, it was so annoying I swore I'd never have them again. When I'm older I may try though, as they do seem to make people look younger.

    Grow them out - makes for easy ponytails.

    Ugh. The stage where they're long enough to be in your eyes all the time, but too short to pull back is a killer.

    I used to have bangs but now I'm growing them out. When I first got my bangs trimmed I felt super Asian and kawaii desu, but then they got really annoying. It does look good on many people, but I feel that it hides my face too much.

    Trim them.

    I have similar hair to your banged state, just a couple inches shorter and blonde.

    Grow them out and go for a sideswept look. If you don't like it you can always cut them again :)
