In no reference to getting laid or AK-47’s, I’m referring to what Zooey Deschanel brought back to fashion mags and hair salons. Once dated and dorky, bangs are now deemed by many as fashion forward and edgy. Just more proof that all trends eventually cycle back through. But not all styles of bangs are flattering.
Sporting bangs all my life until my senior year of high school, to this day I still cringe at pictures of me with a big ‘ole clump of a curl across my forehead. Little girl bangs were cute and easy, thanks to mom for frequent trimmings and styling. But as I grew older, the bangs also grew increasingly high maintenance. They would stick to my forehead, especially during hot, humid Texas summers - - - a serious recipe for forehead acne. But the new bang ‘do is kind of fab. If you have the right face shape, and they run at your brow in a messy feathered row, you can look kind of cool and unpredictable like Chrissie Hynde from The Pretenders.
I currently have the side bang swept across my forehead but I often contemplate taking the risk and going for the full-on straight across bang look you see here on Ms. Deschanel.
Only a few issues lie in the way:

Only a few issues lie in the way: · My face may be too round for them.
· My hair is thin and only shoulder length. Thin will cause them to stick to my sweaty forehead and the shorter length may not be long enough to compliment the style. This could result in the terribly outdated, unflattering “Rachel” look.
· My hubby despises them.
What are your thoughts on bangs? Have you taken the plunge?
