should I get bangs?

Hi! I'm really bored with my current hairstyle, which I've had for about 3 years..I want to get bangs, but I don't know if they would look good on me.

I have long oval face, kind of big nose and I wear semi-rimless glasses. My hair is naturally straight, thin, doesn't get very wavy.
I look like this with glasses:

I've read that bangs look good on people with long faces, but i'm still scared it will turn out bad some of my friends told me I would look great with bangs but it takes ages to grow them out...but I also want a new look.
As for the style I want: I have very long hair now, down to my waist but the ends are damaged, so I want to shorten them a bit, but not much.
And I'd like to get blunt or slightly wispy bangs with long hair.

like these:

Some help would be appreciated

 

First my sister, than my manager, and now you want bangs?!??!?!?!
jk
I say go for them if you want em

 

haha sry
well that's the problem, that I don't know if I want them or not. One moment I'm all like yess! im gonna do it! Then the next moment I chicken out...

 

yea i see what youre saying. And you cant just cut bangs right?

 

well, I guess life is long, hair grows, so there's nothing wrong with trying it.
I never had bangs, except when I was maybe 5, so I don't know

 

i'm in favor of bangs ! =)
When i had mine cut for the first time i was afraid it would look terrible and then it'd take ages to grow out, like u said. But that's a myth : 10 days later u have to cut them again, they grow really fast. Besides, if u're not too sure, u can always get "long" bangs, that way the change isn't too brutal.

there's one great thing about bangs, as opposed to long random hair : bangs make u look like u have a sophisticated haircut, with zero hairdo effort.
proof. me without bangs :

^ normal hair.

and with bangs :

^ actual hairdo, even if those pics were taken while i was on holiday by the sea, after a walk on the very windy beach.

another plus side is that when your bangs grow (after 10-15 days like i said), u can push them on the side and it still looks acceptable :


About the glasses, well i don't wear them but if i did i'd go for thicker frames to go with the bangs, kinda like Kate Moss here :


Hope that helped ! =)

 

id bang you..

 

your face shape is very similar to mine, i also have a long face .
most of my life i had bangs (like in first 3 of your pictures of bangs) because they looked great on me, i guess they are going to look great on you too. i am growing them out now because i need a change... and they do grow slowly.. that's the only problem with them.
but they will probably suit you

 

my hair is similar to yours too

 

Crayola: thanks! your bangs look stylish my hair doesn't grow very fast.. but I guess I'll have to trim bangs every 3-4 weeks. plus styling needs high maintenance, but whatever
yes, I also like the better hairdo options.
well, I think thin framed glasses are good with this hairstyle. I don't like thick framed glasses very much, and with bangs it would be a bit um overcrowded

pipgirl: thanks! that gives me hope i have more confidence now (maybe)
it seems like we're switching hairstyles

 

orison: sorry, but I'm taken

Bangs...

 

I like your hair the way it is. Its up to u alll the way. What about gettign layers in your hair thats what i want to do cause i cant have bags. Ive tried so many hairstyles.

 

Did u cut your hair in the end?

 

Wowie, almost makes me want to get bangs :2thumbsup:

 

hairdos are fun
i like "messy" looking bangs, like these :

cute !

 

I like especially 'messy' hairdo's too but too be honest I rarely do something special with my long hair. I blame it especially on my hair itself though. It's too light, I would have to use some conditioning stuff (have no clue I know) to make it stay in such a way.

 

mm, yeah but hairsprays and such get sticky and ugly in the end, so i wouldn't use it either.
Long hair allows u to have so many different styles... Like, "messy" braids, buns, etc.

:2thumbsup:

 

Not for me when I go outside and it's windy. I rather just let it hang loose or pull it in a ponytail Of course I'm a man and avoid all these hairsprays instinctively :biggrin:
