OK....I was helping Cherry-cola on a color question and started looking through my pics. I'm trying to grow my hair out and have some long layers in the length. I've been battling my bangs issue. I've gone a little darker than in these pics (more light/med golden blonde), but I'm considering going back to the blonde in the pics with the bangs. I've ALWAYS had bangs. This is the first time in my life I've tried to grow them out.

This was taken earlier this year.

This was late July. My bangs are an inch or so longer now, but I wear them the same way.

Opinions please?

I think you look a lot nicer without bangs. Perhaps if you want to keep bangs go with side swept bangs. But hey, that's just me.

Thanks. I think the tan has something to do with it. I always think I look better with a tan.

I'm not a big fan of just short stright bangs.  I love your second picture but I love the look of long swept bangs, maybe covering one eye..  Very sexy and mysterious

No bangs; plus, I think you ought to go for something chin length or shorter.

Yeah, I liked it when it was shorter than my avatar and had long layers.....I had more volume since I have fine/thin hair.

I think I may find a happy medium like suggested.....maybe a sweeping/slant side bang.

Yeah, those might be a little short for me. I was always fond of this cut.....but maybe with longer bangs.

Your face can definately go without bangs. Your features are in very
nice proportion! I have a very tiny mouth so I cannot get away with the
no bang look. I think it looks more glamorous and updated without the
bangs.......So much more you can do with it....Sometimes bangs make
us look TOO young! I think just touching the shoulder (after flipping it
up just a little) would give you the most body, and keep the layers! As
you know, the more "damage" you do to your hair (blond..) the thicker
it will appear!

I'd go with either no bangs, or maybe just some long, wispy ones.  The short, full ones aren't very flattering, I'm afraid.
More awesome than a manatee!

You're 38?  I had no idea from your avatar!  The pic with the bangs makes you look 35 (and I wasn't sure that was you at first!) and the pic below with no bangs makes you look 18 - congrats!  I don't think I'll ever look 18 again!

I vote for the longer side swept ones...long enough to either wear them as long or blended in with the rest.  Do you have a picture with your new darker color?

No, I don't. I'm not as happy with the darker color as I thought I was going to be.  Plus, since it's color and not bleach, my hair's not as thick. I need all the help I can get in the 'thickness' department. I can't wait for another 3 1/2 weeks....I'm going back lighter!
