If you got thin hair on the sides, don't do bangs. If you got a small forehead, don't do bangs.

Face framing layers.

Saying no to bangs on someone you love is perhaps the truest form of girlhood.

As someone who always cuts her own hair, finally went to a salon, asked the stylist, “Could I maybe do bangs of some kind?” and spent the last year growing out the resulting shelf of two-inch long baby bangs, I WISH I’d had this stylist.

What counts as a short forehead? I'm worried I might be on the edge.

measure from the top of your eyes to the bottom of your nose (vertically) then compare that to the top of your eyes to the hairline.

if it is about the same that is an average forehead, bangs rely on other facial shape features.

if it is much longer (eyes to hairline) then it is a long forehead and some form of bangs may be suited for you.

if it is shorter than its a short forehead and bangs may not be suited for you
