As if girls didn't have enough hair problems, for some reason many of us decided to pile on extra frustration by cutting bangs. The thing about bangs, though, is that when they behave, they can change your whole look. Poof! Now you're Audrey Hepburn. Bam! Did someone ask if Zooey Deschanel has a twin? Bangs are like a great statement bag, except they're free and will go with any outfit. And therein lies the temptation to decorate our foreheads.
However, when bangs go awry, which they oft do, they can drive you nearly homicidal — or at least itching to buzz your whole head. Don't even get us started on growing them out — that might just explain why we keep cutting them, just so we can avoid having to go through that awkward, seemingly infinite in-between phase. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Take a look at the many problems us fringe-lovers deal with daily.
Even though it feels like you just trimmed them yesterday.
Or else they get all piecey and start to look like grass plastered onto your head.
Even the slightest breeze can make them clump together and resemble a hair sculpture-bird's nest hybrid.
Because one wrong cut and you're screwed.
Unless you're OK with messing up the whole world order on your forehead.
There's something about having bangs that makes you have bouts of hair insecurity every five minutes.
The first word that comes to mind when describing a girl with bangs is rarely "sultry."
But sometimes you'll cheat and just do the "bang wash," aka sticking your bangs under the faucet.
At least not without it looking superawkward and messing up our fringe.
Our bangs would get all splayed and unruly . . . sigh. Our bangs are boss.
