Why You Should Get Bangs

Hey guys,

I was recently going through some old photos from my childhood, organizing and such, when I noticed that I have literally had some form of bangs my entire life. When I was four, I had a blunt bangs to go along with my blunt bob; as I got older and my hair got longer and more wavy, I started wearing my hair in beach waves, with wispier bangs. Even when I tried growing out my bangs, they were never longer than side bangs. They're pretty much a part of my identity. I LOVE having bangs. I think that they can radically change your look in an awesome way, so if you've been thinking about taking the plunge, here are some reasons as to why you should give bangs a shot.

1. They're super chic - Having bangs can instantly make you look effortlessly stylish. They're modern, they make a bold statement, and can add the perfect touch to your look.

2. They make you look younger - Yup. It's true. Having bangs can instantly give you a more youthful appearance. The right bangs for your face can naturally enhance your features, and can soften your look, thus making you appear younger.

3. They can hide an imperfect hair line - If you're hairline is a little wonky, bangs will hide it.

4. For Gals with large foreheads - If you have a larger or wider forehead than you would like, give bangs a go. They can completely cover your forehead if you decide to get blunt bangs, or can make it appear much smaller with a side fringe.

5. They're slimming - Bangs are amazing for making a face appear slimmer than it actually is, because it  will help to give your face more balance. My face is quite round, and it always looks much slimmer when I wear my bangs down as opposed to wearing them back.

6. They're pretty easy to style - Especially if you go with bangs cut straight across. All you need is a blow dryer, a round brush, and two minutes. Plus I find that you can get away with leaving the rest of your hair more natural and messy if you fix just your bangs. You'll look pretty and effortless while still having the right amount of polish.

As you can see, there are many reasons why bangs rock. I believe that they are truly universally flattering, so don't be afraid to take a risk and maybe give your hair a nice change. Who knows? You may never want to go back.
