Everyone who has ever tried to grow out their bangs ends up in this same perdicament. It's the place where some people get so aggravated that they end up cutting their bangs again...BTDT!
Rather than have a true bang that you curl under, you might try curling them back or over/sideways Curling them back, they will not cover your forehead anymore, but you might get a little lift at the hairline/scalp and then the rest of the bang will go back and fall off to the side. If you take your bangs and roll them sideways and blowdry them that way, you'll be making a side part on one side and rolling away from it. The bangs will get some lift and you can spray them to help keep the hair from falling forward. If neither option is satisfactory to you, then you have to resort to what a gazillion other women do and that's to use bobby pins, barrettes, and or headbands to keep the hair out of your eyes and off your face while your bangs grow out. If you can just hang in there a few more weeks, they'll get long enough to where you can get them over and behind your ear.

Find a gel that you like and use it. I have thin, fine hair and use Joico firm hold gel. I don't need a lot but it helps keep my bangs where they belong without looking like helmet-head.

I am growing mine out and I grab about 2/3 of the bangs on one side, twist the hair like wringing out a rag and hold them back with an itsy bitsy clip. I leave a portion of one side of my bangs to give it a softer look. I don't pull the part in the clip back tightly, but lift it a little to give it a tiny bit of height. I had an outpatient procedure yesterday and the nurses kept going on about how pretty my hair is.

On 1/1/2015 twopeas said:I totally understand the whole bang issue as have very similar problems.....and end up getting frustrated and having them cut off! Have tried everything, too: I think I expect too much too soon--my patience just flies away somewhere. I have also taken some of my bangs that are growing out, twisted them, and held them back/up with a very small "grippy" claw clip. It actually has helped alot and increased my patience as the growth process continues! Good luck to all with this never-ending dilemma!I am growing mine out and I grab about 2/3 of the bangs on one side, twist the hair like wringing out a rag and hold them back with an itsy bitsy clip.

I don't know if this would be an option for you but I have found using a headband during the ""awkward"" stage prevented me from chopping them off again.

The only thing that ever works for me is using a root lifter or mousse, then blowing dry my bangs to the side. I then clip them there with a small hair clip for a few minutes, and use a light hair spray to set them off to the side.
