After coveting the look on everyone from chic Parisians to the hipsters who work at Urban Outfitters, I decided to join the ranks of the elite girls with bangs. Having not rocked a fringe since I was seven years old and styled myself after Velma Dinkley (yep...of Scooby Doo fame), I was a little nervous about whether or not my cheekbones and jawline would be up to the challenge.
Fortunately, I'm pretty sure I'm thrilled with the results. I'm also pretty sure I just entered a monogamous relationship with my hair straightener. ~*~BeStiEs~*~

If you have the urge to update your visage and the thick, straight locks and/or time to devote to maintenance, bangs make an instant statement without sacrificing the length you spent so long cultivating (unwittingly getting a bad haircut is a pain; consciously chopping it all off and instantly regretting it is a bitch). Additionally, bangs serve as an easy camouflage for overlarge foreheads, hairline acne, and more. Just don't make the mistake of going too short - ask for something that falls between your eyes and eyebrows initially, then have your hairstylist snip and angle you into the coif if your dreams.
Basically: Take risks. Spice up your look (and then spice up your life). It's what your youth is for. After all...it's only hair.

Love them! I would've killed for bangs that good when I got mine a few months ago. Unfortch, my hair stylist gave me a look more reminiscent of getting a piece of gum cut out of my hair. Ouch.
You are rockin' those bangs! WOW, I think they look absoultely stunning and sophisticated! Wish I could have the nerve to do the same!
You go girl!
