I am looking for tips on how to get through growing out my bangs!  I'm 2 months into this and it is at an uncomfortable state - over my eyes but not enough to pull behind my ears!!  Anyone have suggestions?  I work in the public and wear glasses, so I have my glasses,and  mask to deal with too.  I tried a headband but that didn't stay in place when wearing a mask.

 

Any recommendations are appreciated.

 

Thanks!

I use pins and clips to keep hair off my forehead. There are some very nice ones if you look around. I mostly use this kind. These stay in my hair.

Or good old-fashioned bobby pins if you want to be more discreet.

I use the clips, as previously stated and sometimes use a faux hair braid headband.  The headband is available on Amazon was under $20.

Bobbi pins.  I grew out my bangs once and went back to bangs because my hair ended up  being all in my face but I wore a mid length bob.  I love my bangs and they take off a few years to your looks.

Can you curl them a little to take up some length until they are more grown out?

@Denise in PA   When I grew out my bangs, same time I was growing out layers and the rest of my hair, I braided the bangs. Yes, it wasn't more than a few twists to start, but I could pin the braid under the first section of hair to hide the ends and hit it with hair spray. As the bangs grew out, of course the braid was easier to do and eventually the entire bang area was long enough to tuck behind my ears. Good luck because I know first hand it's a "process".

Growing out bangs is such a P.I.T.A!  I did it years ago, and will never have bangs again.  The contant having to trim them was a bother.  Hang in there - you will get there soon!

I'm doing the same.  I'm growing all of my hair out.  I just ordered a bunch of nicer clips/barrettes from Amazon.
