To fringe, or not to fringe

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:

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.

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 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.

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.

awww, thanks!!!
Your waves in your new sig are quite lovely, SpecialKit

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

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

Hi

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

MissMareeJane, I beg to differ.  You look good without a fringe, I'm sure as good as with.

MissRini, Wow, that's a great picture!  And I am amazed by how much hair growth you've had lately!
