Last month, I got bangs. I’ve always had side bangs, but haven’t had a front fringe since I was 17.

Bangs can look great on anybody, whether blunt, wispy, or asymmetrical.
For example:

• If you have a long face, you can handle a blunt fringe.
• If you’ve got a somewhat square face, you should go wispy.
• If you have a bigger forehead, straight bangs will camouflage and soften.
• An oval face (like mine) can wear any style of bangs. Side, frontal part, fringe, etc.

Let’s look at the different types of bangs:

• Straight: exactly what it sounds like, around the eyebrows.
• Choppy: uneven bangs add flair to your hairstyle.
• Side Swept Bangs: exactly what it sounds like, creates a sleeker look.
• Wispy: soft bangs along the forehead
• Blunt: come down over the forehead and are cut very bluntly to create an edgier look

So..why should you have bangs?

1. It makes you look younger. Come on ladies, who doesn’t want to look younger? I’m getting carded again and it feels damn good!
2. You’ll save foundation (and, in turn, save money). How, you ask? Because you don’t have to put any on your forehead, your bangs completely cover it!
3. When your brows are unruly, you don’t have to rush to get a wax/thread job. YOUR BANGS (could) COVER THEM!
4. You’ll look like a Rock Star. I especially love my bangs when I’m wearing big sunglasses and a leather jacket.
5. Do you have an oily t-zone? No more hassle for you! Why? Because YOUR BANGS COVER IT.
6. Are you catching my drift yet? No? How about one more?
7. Do you have a large forehead? Your bangs wills make it look smaller. Do you have a long face? Your bangs will make your face appear shorter.
8. You should be convinced by now

and in case you still aren’t convinced (though I’m sure you are. I made some pretty awesome points), here are a few pictures to prove my argument further:
