Are bangs "in"?

mom and I saw the devil loves prada (loved it, BTW). but what I really, really loved was Anne Hathaway's bangs!!!!

I am STILL thinking about her hair!!! Are bangs in???

Re: Are bangs "in"?

I think it depends on the persons face. I dont think it was ever "out of style"

I like long sweeping bang layer, not bangs itself...

Re: Are bangs "in"?

IMO - No.
And even when they are they go out of style before you even get a chance to grow them out ( which is a huge annoying PITA )

But if you really love it go for it - who cares what is in style.

Re: Are bangs "in"?

I liked her hair too-- I think you definitely need the right face for it though--

Re: Are bangs "in"?

maybe but I am once again growing mine out. I do this everytime I cut them

Re: Are bangs "in"?

I wouldnt do it now for the summer, cause if you suffer from frizzy hair, short hair tends to frizz faster, so your bangs will curl. I would wait till the fall if you really want to do it.

Re: Are bangs "in"?

there are various styles of bangs

from what i have seen the sweeping bang is in

but regular curled straight bang...no

Re: Are bangs "in"?

I've had them my whole life. There is no way I can grow them out, it's just the way my hair grows and my forhead is huge anyway. They do take a lot of upkeep and constant trimming (which I don't recommend doing yourself). It really is one thing I hate about my hair because they are so easy to look bad and that can just make everything else look bad too.

Re: Are bangs "in"?

thanks ladies! frizz isn't an issue, my hair is pin straight - it takes a major effort to make a wave in it even.

I asked hubby about it - and he was useless. here's a pic!!

Im not crazy about the way the bangs sit in the first pic. But I like how they look in the 2nd pic.

I like longer side swept bangs, not bangs cut short that rest on your forehead.

Re: Are bangs "in"?

BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH i actually hate those bangs

Re: Are bangs "in"?

Re: Are bangs "in"?

I like the second picture, not the first. I think it depends on your face if you can pull it off or not.

Re: Are bangs "in"?

I have never paid attention to trends where bangs/no bangs are concerned. I don't look good without them. I love the no-bangs look but can't pull it off.

I think if you want them, go for it.

When I look at people I tend to notice their overall hairstyle and whether or not it works for them, as opposed to whether or not they're up on whatever the new hair trend is.

Of course, the Cindy Brady bangs are DEFINITELY out.

Re: Are bangs "in"?

I think they look cute -- they are versatile which is nice. Mine are a little longer then that so I can't wear them straight any more but I do wear them swept over to the side like the 2nd pic or loosely parted so I can see but not sprayed into place.

ETA -- I think you could pull off the look!

The bonus of longer bangs is that if you don't like them, it's not that bad to grow out since they are already longer.

i think she looks cute, but its not a look i could pull off. i like the long side swept bang look. it all depends on the persons face

Re: Are bangs "in"?

i've been cutting bangs for a year or so and i love them!i say go for it!

Re: Are bangs "in"?

it's so funny - DH went with me to see The Devil Wears Prada and I asked him if he thought Anne Hathaway was pretty and he said, "I like her smile, but I hated the bangs."

Re: Are bangs "in"?

In that first pic, ugh too much hair on the face!
