Date Posted: January 11 2000 at 10:03pm Hi, Hair Politicians. This isn't a contoversial topic, I don't think, but I'd like to improve my hair terminology.I am growing out my bangs. I don't want them to meet the bottom perimeter of my hair, though. Rather, I'd like for them to grow out into jaw-length, face-framing pieces. I see a lot of models with this cut--mostly one length with a few "pieces" (not really laters) around the face. You know, to avoid the severe Cher look.But what are these called? I've heard people refer to chin-length or even waist-length bangs. But I always thought that once they got past the eyes and blended into the hair, they were no longer bangs.Just wondering,Ally Replies:
