To Bang or Not to Bang?

The decision to get bangs shouldn't be taken lightly.

On the one hand, it is only hair and it will grow back...but on the other hand, being stuck with a hairstyle you hate is the worst.

Bangs are an easy way to update your look and make a statement — but are they right for you? Here, four things you should consider before getting bangs.

Bangs Are Not for Lazy Girls

Sure, you've got your three-minute beauty routine on lock — but adding bangs into the mix changes everything.

With bangs, there's no #IWokeUpLikeThis.

Bangs need to be styled pretty much every day, so make sure you're willing to add a few extra minutes to your a.m. routine.

Plan to Get Them Trimmed Every Three Weeks

Your hair grows approximately half an inch each month — so the eyelash-grazing fringe you were rocking at the beginning of March will look completely different by the end of the month.

Hairstylists recommend going in every three weeks for a bang trim, and most offer them for free (just don't forget to tip!).

Or, learn how to trim bangs at home.

Try a Starter Bang

Side-swept bangs are super versatile and easy to wear (bonus: basically everyone looks good with them).

This type of bang will give you a good sense if you're able to handle the maintenance of bangs.

From there, you can decide to try a bolder style — or let your bangs grow out if you decide they're not for you.

Invest in Dry Shampoo

It's a fact: The oils from your face and your fingertips are going to make your bangs limp and greasy — and they'll get greasier faster than the rest of your hair.

A good dry shampoo can work wonders. Another option: Try pulling back the rest of your hair, and just quickly shampooing your bangs.

Blow-dry and you're ready to head out the door.
