To Bang or Not to Bang

[sympkin]

George Clooney? I have no idea, who's hot again?

Ok, not really. I can't decide if I should give El a fringe or not. I've always hated them on myself but her hair seems to be saying yes. It just refuses to part at the front.

Bangs on toddlers, yeah or nay?

Bangs on toddlers = adorable!!!

[melohdy]

Bangs on toddlers = adorable but a giant pain in the ass if you have to trim every two to three weeks. I don't know from actual experience though.

We are side swiping as well. Use the clip things. My hairdresser told me that bangs on toddlers can be difficult because their hairline keeps growing forward and before you know it the bangs start back to far - if that makes sense?

[majwv8]

I also feel like it's easier to grow out now than when she's a bit older and can fight me more on what her hair looks like.

DD has bangs so I vote yes.

[cl8badb]

I had to read this a few times.
I thought i was voting on who id bang. Clooney isnt really my type.

I had the worst bangs as a kid. Straight across, but the woman who cut them couldn't actually make them straight. So they were these thick bangs with little random longer pieces everywhere.

So no, never bangs.

I get it! I swear her hair just grows from the back of her head and straight forward into her eyes. Deciding which hairs go where is confusing.

I had bangs as a kid, and I hated them, so I won't be giving E bangs. But that's just me, I think a lot of little girls look adorable with bangs!

I vote noooo....I had bangs until high school....never again....

[workinit]

This was not at all what I was expecting....

I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself!

We aren't doing bangs. She has natural bangs now as new hair keeps growing in, but we pull it all up on top of her head into what like to call her waterspout.

And I agree with what majwv8 said about how the hair grows.

[majwv8]

We do lots of side ponies right on the top of head to encorpaorate as many bangs as possible.

*poof*

I had these barrettes straight from 1989, but I didn't feel like they were holding the fine hair very good.



I think this style of clip works much better. We now have a billion because the packs were buy 2,get 1 free at Target.




Here's sick girl modeling her hair clip today.
*poof*

This! Maintenance though.

My thoughts as well. The main reason I have not done bangs with my E is because of maintenance. I had bangs as a toddler/kid until I decided to grow them out around grade 3.

I'm another one who was sporting the thick bangs far longer than was socially acceptable and then had to go through the awkwardness of growing them out in high school, when I was already super awkward. However, I think they look adorable on toddlers, just don't let her get to her teen years with them, unless it becomes the cool thing to do.

I hated my bangs as a kid too,but I had a cowlick in an unfortunate spot so they looked weird. I won't do bangs on Gia if I can help it and we're side swiping too. Her hair is curly but thin so I don't know if it'll hold a clip yet.

[lingeringwithcoffee]

I think bangs on toddlers are super cute, but I am not planning on DD having bangs. Too much maintenance!

[michelin82]

I think they look super cute, but I can imagine it'd be a real PITA to maintain.

[cl8badb]

I think theyre cute!
J has bangs that i sweep to the side. I cant see it being that much more difficult to do on a girl.

[michelin82]

For the record - I was totally expecting a sex poll when I opened this up!

[madlizmom]

M has bangs because that's the only way her hair grows. I can't sweep them to the side with a clip because she pulls it out after 5 seconds. So we go with it. I did manage to get her hair into pigtails the other day. Lasted about 2 hours before she pulled them out. So most of the time her hair just hangs there and goes where it wants.
