Okay you guys are going to cyber-beat my butt...I cut a fringe the other
day. BUT DON'T WORRY!! I like it! It's not like the one that's in the picture
of the first girl, much less thick and tapered at the sides. I did it myself.
In a way, it'll make the fringe easier to grow in the end, hard to really
explain, but it parts over to the side easier now. I'll put up a pic so you
guys can tell me i'm a dumbass only kidding.
No worries at all MissMareeJane, it's your hair, do what you want with it.

I think it depends a lot on your face too. You look very nice without fringe.
I pretty much have the first pic's haircut, thick bangs and all. I think I look a lot better with fringe because I have a short forehead (and a widow's peak) and it helps disguise it.

I think those are 2 wonderful examples of why you didn't need to cut in
a fringe :)....and the third example is yourself...your hair looks
awesome as it is and definitely doesn't need a fringe.
All the best for a long haired future,
John

I'm glad I wasn't hasty, because I've decided not to cut my fringe. Altough
that first hairstyle is cute, it'll be harder to grow it long. I saw two more
examples of nice long hair this weekend, which inspired me to leave the
fringe like it is. One is Drew Barrymore in 50 first dates...I love the length
and texture! Very beachy and wild, I like that a lot. The other is Jennifer
Connelly in Requiem for a Dream, an excellent though depressing movie,
she's got beautiful long hair, and her color and texture reminds me of my
own.

I've been tempted to cut mine, but my hair is so thick that nearly any thickness looks very blunt and heavy. Also, if I know myself, I'll end up trying to grow it out after a while anyways.
I often wear my hair parted down the middle, and it's working so far....
I hear that you can get some kind of extensions that look like bangs, just to try them out.
Hair type: who knows?
Length: 23 inches as of 3/10/06
MY HAIR IS OFFICIALLY BRA STRAP LENGTH!!
Goal: Waist Length, which is only 30 inches so
ADVISE ME ON HOW TO GET JUST 7 MORE INCHES OF GROWTH!

I think that the first fringe is very nice, i think it looks thick
because her other hair is also thick, do you know what i mean?
The second one could be grown out bangs but also look nice.
I just cut my fringe again two days ago. When i have time to fix them
and they are clean I really like them. But they do get greasy faster
than my other hair..
If you want full bangs get them, they always grow out... and when they do you can have them swept to the sides...
I think you would look good in both..

I think your current look really suits you and I would suggest not
cutting a fringe into your hair...yes it can be fun to have a fringe
sometimes to play around with but you really look awesome as it is now.
Just my thoughts!
Best wishes,
John

Well the whole fringe issue for me is a biggy! That is to say, I grow it out, then cut it, grow it out, cut it....can never make up my mind. At the moment, I have settled on this style: (this pic of me taken last week - yes I know it's weird, it was for a catalog, but it shows my current fringe well)
As you can see, my fringe is quite thick and swept off to the side. The other side of my hair has some shorter bits, but not as short as the fringe section. I'm happy with this right now as it gives me something to play with when I wear my hair up (although it doesn't really need styling...just sits there nicely most of the time) and I can also blend it in a bit when I wear my hair down (which is almost never).
For me, I feel I need a fringe, as my face is just not suited to the no-fringe look. I think it softens the whole thing and helps to hide some wrinkles!! However, I do sometimes get annoyed with it, and I do agree that it always gives it away that you haven't washed your hair in 4 days. I am starting to wash it on it's own now though, which helps with the oily look. I also am not fond of always having to trim it. But I've weighed up the pros and cons and am settling on this fringe for now.
Sugaree, I think you have the face for no fringe...nice big eyes and a nice size forehead. However, I think you need to consider how it makes you feel. More confident with or without? Do you get bored without something to play with? Why not cut a longer fringe so you can wear it back and also down?
Good luck with whatever you decide to do

SK, (hi, it's Sug, I had to change my name - long story)
I think you're right, the weight of long hair will give you less fluff...but the
waves are nice...hopefully they will stay! I bet they will, they'll just be at
the bottom of your length
