To cut or not to cut...

Yes I know we already visited this topic in the last post, but it's a month later and I'm still torn.  This is why I think I should NOT cut bangs:
  • If I change my mind, it takes a really long time to grow them out again.
  • It's nice to not have to deal with my bangs as a separate entity from the rest of my hair after getting out  of the shower.
  • Some celebrities, whose looks I admire, do not have bangs.
  • My forehead isn't that big, so I can do okay without bangs.
  • Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, your bangs look really stupid.  This comes from having naturally curly hair.  Sometimes they just won't straighten or hang in the direction you'd like.
 And here are reasons why I think I should cut bangs:

  • You can leave your hair down and still look like you have a hair-do going on (you know since I have to straighten my bangs as soon as I get out of the shower they at least show that some effort has been put into my hair)
  • To further expand on the above reason: when I don't have bangs I tend to think my face looks elongated and weird when framed solely by my hanging locks.  Consequently before going anywhere I feel like I need to clip the sides back in some way to prevent this horse-face thing from happening.  This can get annoying, whereas if there are bangs I think it generally looks okay to just leave the rest of my hair hanging.
  • uh...I guess that's it.
 So, here are some pics to help you, the reader, decide...and also a new belly pic thrown in for the heck of it. ;)  First, No Bangs:

I don't know why the pics are loading so screwy....and now WITH bangs;




 
 


 


Okay, so in many of these I'm either pregnant or just had a baby so don't judge my hair by my chunky, "I just had a baby" face...  I also tried to include a representative sample of "sometimes bangs look good and sometimes they don't"...what do you think?
