Bangs. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Have you ever had bangs? Loved them? Hated them? No matter what your relationship with your fringe has been - here are a few glimpses into the lives of the many types of bangs.

The most daring and committed type of bang is the straight across cut. The entire bang is pushed forward over, right at, or above the eyebrows. Looks extremely sexy and dramatic. Takes the most time to grow out so make sure you have given the straight across bang some thought before taking the plunge.

Side bangs are fun and flirty and easy to maintain. Make sure hair is angled slightly so as not to look to blunt and heavy. Have the ends of side bangs point cut or thinned to help keep them soft and fresh.

The bangs that fit behind your ear are the total non-commitment bang because they can disappear in an instant. They can blend into shorter layered cuts but look cute to soften ponytails and updos.

If you were reading this to find out what to do if you hate your fringe right now -here’s a tip that surprisingly not many people know. HAIR GROWS! It may take patience and some pre-natal vitamins but sooner or later your tresses will get long enough that you’ll want to cut bangs again.
