Sugaree, you are very pretty. I think the wispy longer bangs you have suit you nicely. I envy your hair color and thickness - it's also looking very long.

To me the bangs on the first girl are way too thick... I would never cut
that much if I was growing my hair very long. The contrast would be too
much as well, I think. - Lemmecount123

I agree, LMC(on the last part) about her bangs being too thick, and how
the contrast would be to much with long hair...this is my canundrum. My
hair is not that long now where the contrast would bother me...but
thinking for the future I want to grow my hair to my waist, and I wouldn't
want bangs when my hair is that long. Although, like you, "I look
ridiculous with my hair pulled back without something to frame my white
face." so I'll always have some kind of fringe, all be it a longer one.

the fringe was sassy, having no fringe feels very plain. I think I'm going to
wait a few days and sleep on it before I go for the sissors.

I only wish I had a pic of me when I had that style... it did look really cute.
but i'm making such good progress! As you can see from the pic below,
I'm just getting to the point where I can part them to the side, aside from
a few straglers that hang out in the middle.

I agree with letmecount about the thick bangs in the first photo.  My fringe was a bit thick too (not quite that thick), and as my hair got longer it started to look a little strange (I guess because the hair lays flatter on top of and around the head), so now I'm growing out the back  portion of the fringe to make it thinner.  Its all up to you though, I think it can look good that way on some people (just not me).

I guess it would depend on your face shape and whether you don't mind some of your length getting shorter. I'm growing my fringe/bangs out right now because I have fine hair and I want my circumference to be thicker for a bigger plait/braid! (I have quite a ways to go - they are at the tip of my nose).

I cut chin length bangs into my hair in December. I look ridiculous with my hair pulled back without something to frame my white face.

I usually tuck them behind my ear, but they're a huge pain in the rear right now because they wrap around my ear and you can see them from the front now (they used to stop behind my ear).

So I guess that means I should cut them again.

I know having long hair sometimes makes you want to have it ALL long, but I dunno...I look stupid without them.

To me the bangs on the first girl are way too thick... I would never cut that much if I was growing my hair very long. The contrast would be too much as well, I think.

I love the first pic.the second one is great too.I'm partial to side swept myself.Plus they grow out a little better when you bore of them.I understand about it being annoying.I hate having bangs in my eyes.  Plus bangs are harder to make look nice than a longer grown out length IMO.They seem to highlight when your hair is dirty.Plus I know for myself,I can  wear second day hair out.But If I have bangs I have to at least restyle those,since they get kinda crazy after sleeping on them.Maybe someone else can offer some good reasons on why to get bangs,I remember now why i have sworn them off.

when do you guys think I should start growing the fringe out? Should I
keep it for a while? My hair is only to my shoulder blades. A fringe can be
fun and annoying at the same time... I'm up for suggestions.

I had that style last year, and I really liked it. I'm very tempted to cut my
fringe again, which is just to the tip of my nose now. In the future, I'd like
my hair to be somewhat like this:

That is the question. I've been trying to grow out my fringe, but I was just
tempted by this picture...
