I think you look better without the bangs, but, that was a lot of bangs you had in that photo. Bangs can be either really outdated or ridiculously hot on the right face and cut the right way. Bangs cut a certain way are great looking. I know what you mean about the hair in the face thing, I have a hard time not tucking mine behind my ears...I try really hard though because I know how much better it looks when I leave it alone.
