I have my bangs like this (straight, they were short, now in the middle of my forehead..I have dark hair a bit past my shoulders). I think it looks cool, and even though its getting kinda trendy near where I live (la area), every time I read a women's magazine or something like that they always say shorter bangs are always a total "don't". Why is this? I think they look really cool and open up the face...if they are too short they look silly but in the middle of the forehead they do open up my face a lot. WHat are any of you opinions on this hairstyle?
