need major hair help BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok, i was just going through the same problem as you. the shoulder length time is a weird time. in fact, i gave up and cut it to a little below chin length! but, it doesn't seem like you want to do that. one look that i've seen that's really cute is your length with layers added to it, and flipped. this would be perfect for you since this is what your hair likes to do anyway. just an idea. i don't know what shape your face is, but, unless you're set on growing your hair out, you could always cut it shorter, there are lots of cute shorter looks out there. as far as your bangs are concerned, i wouldn't grow them out if you look bad w/out them. i had bangs and grew them out, but i liked them that way. if you have a large forehead, you don't want to grow out your bangs. your forehead would look waaaaay too big! as far as how brittle they are, you might want to talk to a proffessional about a product you could could use to 'revitalize' (i sound like a commercial!) them. maybe some deep conditioning treatment like vo5 hot oil, something like that. And remember, a major plus to bangs is it covers up any pimples! :) so, good luck!
