Bangs for me. I have a lot of baby fine hair. It's much neater with a full bang, and far less work

With my curly hair, bangs are "iffy". I have them cut to below my nose length so when they dry curled up, they reach below brows. I blend them in w/ the curls on the sides leaving a few curls on my forehead. Bangs plus? They cover forehead wrinkles and accent eyes. They draw the eye upwards away from neck & jowls. IMO anyone can wear bangs if cut/styled for their face shape and hair style. It's personal preference, but besides being more youthful than hair being pulled off the the face, bangs cover up roots as they grow in....That's a big plus!!!

It depends on your face shape. I have a high forehead so I NEED bangs, and have always had them.

@Laura14... Bang-girl here too due to a scar on my forehead! All bangs are not created equal. I have spikey, piecey bangs. I don't care for that kindergarten-look type bangs.

I like bangs. I have had them for a long time.

I think it totally depends on the hair type and to lesser extent, face shape.  

I have fine thin straight hair, so whenever I have had bangs they were ALWAYS askew.  even if I do them up perfect in the morning, because my hair is so thin, they would get weighed down and limp and gross from any oil and/or makeup from my forehead.  So even though I have a long face shape (and somewhat high forehead) I have not worn bangs since I was in high school (now 37).

My sister on the other hand has lush thick hair, and her bangs always look perfect and frame her face.

Just saw Erin Newberg on ShopHQ - she cut bangs and has a new haircut - I don't think it is flattering at all.  Makes her face look very round.  I had bangs all my life, but grew them out about 5 years ago and will NEVER go back to bangs.  I think if you don't have bangs, don't do it - it takes way too long to grow them back out.

I think her new hairstyle is fabulous!

I love my bangs, they are flattering and they have the added benefit of hiding forehead lines.🌺

I believe most modern styles have the bangs off to one side.

I've done both.  Not only do I have a very high forehead, my hair is fine, and even more so around the face.  Long hair there always ends up getting beat up, and shortened due to wear.

I'm into the long bangs thing right now.  Just went from side-swept to straight down the nose in the middle (my hair needed a break - so did my head.  Now I just shake instead of flinging it to the side to right it).  Fortunately I have a proficient hair stylist who has known me for a long time and she gets the layers right.  The style is a "messy", to the shoulders, bob.  Blunt layers then feathered just a touch.

I do not blow dry.  Nothing screams dated to me like "round-brushed" bangs, or an obvious part (or even, a contrived "no part", part).  Let it flow, I say!  Natural hair is the prettiest, IMO.

This is your opinion and you are welcome to express it.However I disagree. I think a lot of what is currently trendy is very unkept looking.
