Should I get bangs?
These are clip ins

I think bangs work VERY well for you! :)

I like it both ways. I would keep the clip-ins for a change of pace. I love the side-swept look on you.  Gives you a smart and intriguing look and would work very well at the office. The bangs give your face a more innocent look. At night, you could darken the eyes up even more and go with a neutral lip color... you'll be hot hot hot! Just my opinion though. You could even do the bangs and do your hair in a loose chignon in the back -- would look very nice with your facial structure.

and before I forget... where did you buy the bangs?  I got some at ULTA but was disappointed with how cheap they looked.

Thankyou! Nice tips :) I live in Belfast, Uk so don't think the same store would be in the US but it's called 'Hair Accademy' just incase! I got it for £5 not bad tbh

I think bangs would look great on you! Just make sure you find a hairdresser you trust first. And I suggest getting them a bit shorter than you initially want, seeing as they will grow out and bug your eyes soon enough. Or at least that's what happens with me...my hair grows pretty fast :( It's up to you, though!

Either way looks great - I'm a fan of bangs, just haven't found the right wig for it yet.

I thought about it, but at the end of the day I wasn't personally down for the long term commitment to them.

I didn't realize that clip-in bangs were a thing.  Hmmm...

Either looks great!  Bangs (fringe to us English speakers) is dead handy for anyone dysphoric about hair line.  Clearly not a problem for you!

I keep thinking about getting a fringe but that's pretty much a dead giveaway for someone not full-time. Not too common on males (unless it's a mullet).

Yeah... it would be the 'prince valiant' look on a guy.

Sigh... I hope my face shifts enough to pull of bangs this year... I would love a classic bob.

I love bangs, go for it! :D

I'll be looking into bangs for a wig myself. (That and to fix my nasty receeding hairline, ick.)

Nothing wrong with the mullet business in the front, party in the back.

Grr need to wait for my hair to repair itself a bit before I can even attempt a fringe, why did I bleach my front so much why. Double grr

Alexis they look great do it

Mullets are great if your name is Bubba Joe, you wear wife beaters, drink beer, smoke Marlboro, and live in the Deep South. I'll pass on the Joe Dirt look.  ;D
