Bangs!

When I was younger, I made sure that I always wore bangs because I wanted to not only look older and more polished but, I wanted to hide my forehead, Now as I get older, I have tossed bangs to the side. I was browsing the net the other day and came across an article that discussed how to get a more youthful look overall. The first tip suggested in the article was to cut bangs. I was really shocked reading this, especially since I'd gotten bangs to look older!

Here is an excerpt from the article:

"Bangs hide wrinkles on the forehead and make you seem more youthful. Long side-swept fringe is the most versatile. But when you asked if you should cut it short, I thought, Oooh, no! That tends to mature people—plus, wearing your hair the same way every day is aging. Instead, go for hair that just hits the collarbone, with long layers. You'll be able to pull it into a ponytail—and wearing different styles makes you look younger."

Robinson, of the Marie Robinson salon in New York City and a spokeswoman for Clairol, adds:

"If your skin has gotten pale or sallow with age, try warming things up with golden highlights and a rich base color—just don't stray too far. The most flattering base shades re-create the color and depth that you used to have."

How do you all feel about bangs?
