I am yet to see the woman who looks better with bangs than without

[Doe]

I totally think it depends on the type of hair you have, face shape, etc. I have a stupid cowlick so bangs just don't fly on me (they were always uneven) and I grew out my bangs years ago. Only 1 out of my 3 daughters have bangs and I think they're right for her. One has very thick, curly, long hair without bangs and the other has thick, wavy (but she gets it thinned) hair. Her hair is layered. I guess technically she has long layered bangs but they don't start til about her jawline.

I have long sideswept bangs and I like them so there. ;]

 

[sha_lyn]

Weird, I feel the opposite way. I've yet to see a woman who looks better without bangs that with them.

I've come to this conclusion after years of comparisions.

As for proving it, how could I? It's a matter of opinion. I feel strongly that women with bangs look better, but it's just MO.

ITA... unless the hair is pulled back, I think women look better with some sort of bang

 

[Kathi OD]

Personally, I think she looks better with the bangs.

Oh, and Kath2003, I do think you look better with bangs and with your hair lighter, like in the first picture...it's a very young flattering look for you.

Thanks, I had my hair lighter for years but I couldn't afford to keep highlighting it all of the time so now it's back to brown. I liked it more when it was lighter, too. It takes 5 hours a time for highlights and a cut though

I think I'll cut the bangs back in this summer, too.

I can't do bangs. No hairstylist has EVER suggested bangs for me, not even when I was putting my hair in their hands completely. My hair is curly, especially up front, so they would just be little poodle things. And if I were to straighten them, well, I despise the "straight bang but curly rest-of-hair" look with a serious burning passion, so that's NOT going to happen.

I had short hair at one time and sort of "had", or could create, bangs for a time, and although I thought I looked cute, all my friends were VERY happy when they grew out at last. Then I looked back at my pictures and nearly cried, they looked so ridiculous! And of course 3 minutes after doing my hair, they would start to curl around the sides, and it was just silly.

 

[CathrynRose]

Prove that you have the credentials to make such a statement.

It's ignorant to think that one style fits all.

As it is silly to think you should have one style your entire life.

I was bangless for a long while, and now I have side swept choppy ones.

Gotta keep changing.... never get in a rut, is my motto.

(Although the pink guy in your sig could use a trim. )

Tyra Banks (she goes along with Christina Ricci). Some people look cute with bangs, even striagh across bangs. No one, and I repeat no one should have "done" bangs anymore- those involving a curling iron, pick, and a bottle of Bold Hold or Aqua Net!

Don't forget the measuring stick LOL

LOL. I grew my bangs out a few years ago. I hadn't seen my mother in a few months and the first thing she said to me was "Oh, you grew your bangs out. Now I can see all the wrinkles on your forehead". I wasn't laughing at the time though.

 

[tinkerbell615]

I gotta say. I have really short "choppy" bangs. I cut them myself most of the time because I can't afford the hair cut very often either.

My hair is really really fine and I have a high forehead so I need bangs. Because my hair is so fine, they have to be short or they look really yucky. When I was young, my brother used to tell me.. "You could watch a motion picture on that forehead." He is right.

What is it they say? The higher the hair the closer you are to God? Certainly didn't work for me in the 80's and I had fabulously huge bangs!

I agree! Where I hail from...they say we look 10 years younger with bangs! Isn't it funny how we see things differently!

 

[aprilvaca04]

I used to kind of have bangs but then I couldn't afford to get my hair cut very often so they grew out

With:

Without:

(Excuse the drunken look, I was on the second bottle by the time that last photo was taken!)

You are lucky...I think your hair looks nice on you both ways

 

[Liberty Belle]

Christina Ricci.....'nuff said.

Yep, that's what I was thinking.

I look better with bangs, too. Not the rigid, straight across kind, but side-swept bangs. Maybe the OP wasn't including those.

I like your hair darker. It brings out your pretty eyes more, I think.

Bangs are totally IN right now and I think they look great on a lot of women. To say that no woman looks good w/ them sounds kind of ignorant to me.

 

[becjlek]

I think I look better with bangs but I agree with almost everyone here... one hair style is not for everyone.
