i love the looks of the bangs in the second and third photo. i’m going to be in LA in june, will see my hair stylist and also debating whether i should get bangs then. i wonder if they will bother me in the summer? tough decisions!

I love bangs! I have a long running love/hate affair with them and with short hair. I love a short bob with long bangs. Then I think; maybe I’d look good with long hair and darn these bangs are driving me crazy! So I grow it all out and just when they’re grown out I think—I would look so cute with bangs! Le sigh.

I cut mine about a year ago. I’ve been okay with them, but I want to grow them back but they drivie me nuts whenever they get long enough to get in my eyes. So they’re cute, but they make me a little crazy.

i recently cut heavy brow length bangs a month ago and love them. they make me feel a tad more stylish.
as for the wedding hair, maybe bangs that are a little longer and could be swooped to the side like the last image?

I have had bangs for a few years now, and I don’t think I’ll ever grow them out, I think they fit my face. They have gotten progressively heavier and more blunt with time, and I love them. They definitely take more time to do, but it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make.

Good luck deciding and I love the images you chose!

It’s strictly a function of geometry; this was wittingly pointed out to me by a famous stylist once.

It goes like this: if the vertical distance from the top of your forehead to the top of your eyebrows equals the vertical distance from your cheekbone to your chin, then your face is proportionate and therefore you’re good with bangs. OR if your forehead is a little longer and you need the coverage to balance out your face proportions, then you’re good with bangs.

An added bonus is if your best facial features are your mouth and nose because that’s what bangs highlight.

you guys are awesome!!! great advice. seleta- i love that quote about bangs- it makes total sense!

I am leaning towards a longer bang style. I think that would be a more functional and less risky. my hair grows fast and wedding is in october.

i’ll be taking all of your advice to my hair stylist, we’ll see what she thinks about the symmetry of my face! lol!

I’m definitely all for bangs, even if they are frustrating at times. I think it’s mostly because I’ve never found a way to pull them off with my ridiculously curly hair, so I live vicariously through people with bangs. Whenever my friends are in this dilemma I always encourage them to cut! But as always, cut bangs that suit your style/face.

YES to bangs, always!! i think everyone looks better with bangs they’re worth the extra effort — and they’re super easy to pin back with bobby pins

haha how funny i just posted the same exact question a couple of days ago!
i say go for it…i love the look.

I’m one of the few girls out there who didn’t have bangs growing up, and I finally was brave enough to try them about a year ago…and I love them! They drive me insane when I’m trying to exercise (is there a cuter way to keep them out of your face than just bobbypinning them back?), but otherwise they’re great

I recently cut bangs. I really just have a love hate thing going on though….somedays I love them so so much and other days I just hate them. But I say do it! Hair will always grow back.

What a BEAUTIFUL selection of images. So fresh and classy. I really really love this blog by the way – only just discovered it but it is a delight to ‘wander’ through.

I got bangs around a year and a half ago, when I noticed how cute one of my friends’ hair always was. My hair in comparison was always just… there. Because of this observation, I learned that your hair it an accessory and can add so much to your look without much effort. And so I clipped some pictures, went to the salon, and got my bangs. I’m so glad I did this because it always looks cute whether my hair’s down or up. I especially like the longer side bangs that frame my face when my hair is up. Bangs grow out fast though and can be annoying especially if there are parts that just won’t stay with the rest, and fall in your eyes. I’m Asian so my hair is pretty thick and not as malleable as finer Caucasian hair. So I say get the bangs. If they get annoying, then grow them out, but you probably should just get it out of your system.

After about ten years of super long hair, with no bangs, I took the plunge last year and got long-ish, side-swept bangs. I loved them instantly and have been going shorter and shorter. It definitely suits my face better, and I think I look more youthful with them.

I’d say go for it!
