Thank you for asking this question, I have been wondering the same thing for a long time!
I had bangs when I was a little kid and since my hair is so thick it was like a blonde shelf on my head - typical 80's poofy bangs. But now that my hair is long and everything, I've been wondering that if I got side bangs would they get poofy again? And do I need a side part, or can I keep my middle part? I've tried to change my part numerous times, but it always settles back in the middle.
