This decision has been weighing on me. I had thick straight bangs for about 3 years and I adored them but over the summer I was feeling carefree and stopped cutting them and have now grown them out. I hardly recognize myself without bangs and my life is so much easier but I LOVE BANGS. here is my current pro/con list of having bangs Pros: - look cool and cute - people would always stop me and say I look like Dakota Johnson bc I have brown hair bangs and blue eyes but I ate it up Cons: - so much goddamn maintenance - I literally think about them so much when I have them. Any time anything happens my first thought is “are my bangs okay? Did they get moved out of their perfect formation?” Thus leading to me adjusting them maniacally . Even if I’m just sitting doing nothing, the reminder of my bangs will hit me like a truck and I have to immediately drop everything to ensure they are in correct placement For context I have brown pretty short hair IT USED TO BE A CUTE BOB and I’m gonna cut it back short for the summer but for now I’m enjoying being able to pull it up in ponytail Your input is valued
