It’s always really funny to me when I see a beauty trend forecast that bangs are in again, because I’m not really sure when they’ve ever gone away. It seems that as soon as bangs appear on a celebrity who didn’t have them before, they become “a new way to update your look,” don’t you think?

I confess that I totally had hipster-ish bangs in high school and into college. Anyone who met me within the past three years probably wouldn’t recognize me in a picture from my fringe days. When I was growing them out, I kept them long and side-swept, which was a look that I really liked. Now, I don’t have any hint of fringe at all.

Do you wear bangs? What kind do you like the best — the blunt mod look, piecey and romantic, or side-swept?
