When i was a small kid, i do have bangs and it's nice to look to kids..But this time, i prefer not to have bangs coz i dont want that theres hair hanging on my face. But i think, it's in this time, having bangs is very in. Lots of teens are having bangs for fashion look.. Do you want have bangs or you prefer not to have?

Since the time when bangs became very in to fashion nowadays, I have always wanted to have one. Unfortunately, it won't let me look good because I have a wavy hair and bangs are kinda nice to look at if you have a straight shiny hair. I have tried putting a bangs though but I regretted it a lot because I don't look pretty on it. It seems i'm an old woman. lol :)

I never had any bangs because it would make my face rounder. Usually, my hairstyle is layered look to frame my face. Even when I was a child, I never had experience having them. One thing I forgot too is that my hair if it is short, it has a tendency to curl, so bags is out of the question.

I was forced to wear bangs as a little girl so I was so happy when I didn't have to wear them anymore, so now I don't wear them for over 40 years.

I use to when I was younger but the way my hair parts i am not sure if it would look right unless I got a lot of my hair cut.

Actually, no, i prefer not to have bangs. Your hair creates a lot of oils and if your hair is laying on your face all day, it is going to make pimples. That is why I don't want bangs, and also, I just don't like the looks of them.

I always had bangs and I'm not sure why. I think whenever my hair was cut, it was just cut with bangs. Just a thing they always did I guess. I didn't care for it much then. I'm definitely against bangs. I grew mine out, but they don't seem to want to grow any longer. Go figure.

I do not have bangs , I did when I was young and had really long hair that I could sit on , but now I am older I like my hair short , especially at the front , I have a very short fringe which is feathered , I hate my hair in my eyes , My granddaughter has a very long fringe and I don't know how she can see anything clearly lol , but it seems to be the fashion now and they all have to be fashionable she is 17 xx

In Australia we call it a fringe. Bangs sounds rather peculiar to me...no offence meant. I don't believe in fashion; I believe in style, elegance comfort and what suits a person's hair type, face shape and general body shape. I have a fringe at the moment but I'm trying to groew it out. Not sure it's such a good idea. It's just a nuisance when it gets long and I have to cut it and thin it out as well because my hair is terribly thick.

haha in New Zealand we also call it a fringe. When I heard the term "bang" i was wondering what da hell is that? Never had a fringe/bang when I was young, but wouldn't mind getting one done now. Still thinking about it cause i am not sure whether it will suit my type of face or my hair type.

I believe in haircuts that fit the face. I look better with bangs than without, but others don't. Fashion is great, I love it, but at the same time the best fashion is whatever looks best on you and feels good. Otherwise, it stops being fun - and some people who follow the latest trend blindly end up looking ridiculous.

Me too when I was a kid I used to have bangs. Now that I am grown up I have long hair but I don't look good with bangs and that's the reason why I don't want to have them. They look very good on certain type of faces.

When I was a kid I remembered crying cos I had my bangs. I hated it. But now, I want to have my haircut again and have my bangs cut cos it's long already. I think bangs hide my forehead. :) My hair line's going up up up.

Some bangs are ok to me, unless they look as if they are trying to swallow or forehaed.

As every one else has said I had bangs when I was a small child. bock in the 50s so they have beenound for some time as a fashion for small children. I don't like bangs for my self any more. I don't like any hair in my face at all. It just get on my nerves.

I have bangs. The upside is they help hide the wrinkles on my forehead. When I was younger I always wore them back. Now I pull them forward.

No bangs please. When I was also a little child, I love to have some bangs. But as I grow up, I have noticed that it does not fit my looks personality. I decided to change it for the better. Now I look much better than before. Thank's for my friends advise, I owe this tot them.

i used to have bangs when i was a kid too. i looked like i had a helmet on. haha. when i had my haircut last month, i wanted to have bangs just to have a different look. i've never had bangs as an adult and wanted to try it. the hairdresser said it wouldn't be suitable for me since i have a round face and my face will just look smaller. i just want to try it out. but i guess it won't look good on me.

Gosh no. Even as a kids I hated bangs. I don't remember how old I was, but back when I was younger I grew my bangs out to the length of my hair. For as long as I can remember I have never liked hair in my face. It bugs me. My husband complains about my hair because I always have it pulled back. He says it makes me look like a school teacher back from the old days. Yet my daughter (3 years old) has bangs and I think they look cute on her.

I prefer no bangs. I used to have bangs all the way until I was about 21. But I get irritated easily with hair getting in my eyes or hanging in my face, so now I don't have any. They are pretty cute on some people, and if someone has a big forehead, its definatly best to have bangs. But now that i'm a little older, I dont think they'd look good on me. Some teens look really nice with them though!
