I've pretty much always had bangs. A few times I grew them out and for the shape of my face, it just doesn't work. Plus, I got tired of having hair in my face all the time. But then, I tend to keep my hair shorter, so bangs look better. It all depends on whether you want a shorter do, or longer... Lots of short, chunky layers can look good, especially if you have thicker hair... which i dont...
