| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/17/2006 3:43:13 PM | I've noticed a LOT of women with long straight hair lately have been flipping their bangs back. At college, around the city, and quite a few amount of girls on PoF who live in Ontario. It's JUST the bangs as well, making it look like some sort of lump sitting above their forehead.
Quite frankly, I think it looks damned retarded ( Along with dozens of other people I've mentioned it to. High school, college, and bar buddies alike ).
So, what, was there some sort of famous woman who put her hair up like that by accident and now the women around here are all conforming ( Like when thousands of girls bought Home Hardware shirts because Avril Lavigne wore one on Saturday Night Live, augh )?
It's one thing to follow silly trends like girls wearing tank tops over long sleeved shirts or guys popping up their collars, but this? It's... just hideously laughable that any woman could think or feel attractive while doing it. | |

|
| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/17/2006 4:04:42 PM | Are you referring to the barrette thing? Where it looks as if the chick has an ass crowning her forehead?
Man, girls did that when I went to high school. That was 15 years ago. It was retarded then, and it's retarded now. | |

| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/17/2006 5:11:09 PM | C-note, your profile had me rolling with laughter. Especially your interests.
"head-butting my cats" Any cat lover knows this move but I never even thought of it like that.
Rock on.
As for the original question, I gotta aggree that it looks wonky. | |

| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/17/2006 8:18:21 PM | | I don't flip my bangs because I have to hide the huge goiter on my forehead...it's hot..it's like a nipple but on my head...mmm nubbin'licious | |
|
| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/17/2006 8:42:22 PM | Um hello, have you looked in the mirror lately? What's with that part down the middle anyways? Take your hand and scruff it up a little for a better look, and it could use a little trim also. Take a look at net bugs hair, he has style!  | |
|
| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/17/2006 8:58:15 PM | That makes two women in this topic who can't read...
Glad to see that everyone else agrees that it looks terrible. | |
|
| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/17/2006 10:40:35 PM | Hmmm... guilty... I like the look... call me crazy. Maybe I just want to feel even taller so I can intimidate even more guys.
Definately have no idea where it came from... but it's everywhere now. | |
|
| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/18/2006 11:46:08 AM | Take pics of yourself doing it so everyone can see.  | |
|
| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/18/2006 1:43:44 PM | So what? My bangs suit me and I'll flip them. My body, my wish......whose father....what measures.  | |
|
| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/19/2006 6:29:21 PM | God, I swear, today there was a boom and twice as many girls were doing it. It's like some sort of flat bun or something, it's awful.  | |
|
| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/27/2006 12:36:07 PM | Maybe they found out that you didn't like it so they all put their hair that way and I don't blame them. Like I stated previously, Take a look at your own hair. OMG! What is that? Looks like your mama gave you a the famous spit on her hand and rubbed it down on the top, seems she needs more spit. And get rid of that part in the middle, maybe try to flip yours back. LMAO  | |
|
| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/27/2006 1:23:54 PM | | That is the fun thing about hair...just be happy the "beehive" has not come back! | |
|
| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/27/2006 3:26:47 PM | | I think someone hit a nerve with migirlhere! Maybe she does it too and thought it was attractive! | |
|
| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/27/2006 4:45:41 PM | It gives your hair more volume I find. I normally have straight hair and when it's straight, IT'S STRAIGHT. So if i flip my bangs up i look like i have more hair than i already do. So therefore I'm glad it came back in style  | |

| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/27/2006 5:09:15 PM | | Ya Cookinginthesoo I think so also. Hair is a big deal to me for some unknown reason I don’t mind any flipping, but my ideal hair is... Oh never mind just look at Cookinginthesoo ;P Oh wait you're form Ontario gee go figure. What is with Ontario women, I swear there is something in lake superior. Does the fountain of youth really exists.. and is it in Ontario. | |

My dog and I have nuzzle wars. Sort of like fencing with our heads, only it feels good and nobody gets hurt. | |
|
| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/27/2006 7:16:13 PM | Good post Bendilin.. Gave me a laugh
That is a god awful hair style. Mostly women with no sense of fasion are wearing it just because they saw someone else wear it. Followers... they aren't cool enough to be different because they are fraid they won't fit in so they follow what someone else is doing even if it looks ridiculous. | |

Man, girls did that when I went to high school. That was 15 years ago. It was retarded then, and it's retarded now.
I think you're referring to the "wall of bangs" that were popular in the late 80s/early 90s. (Jesus that sucked. I wasn't even interested in girls then and knew it was retarded.)
I blame Gwen Stefani for the atrocity now.
I still see profiles on this site, mostly from the midwest, that have the forward combed forward bangs.
Next thing you know, 80s fashion will be revived and will be wearing a thick belt on the outside of their dress. Oh, wait.... Oh well, at least that doesn't look as bad. | |

| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/27/2006 7:33:36 PM | I'm in university... UWO... if there is a fountain of youth in ontario, anyone who drinks from it seems to lose intellegence simultaneously...
I personally could care less about hair styles that aren't sitting on top of my head... and even then, I only care minimally.
and honestly, people shouldn't need to have "stylish" hair... a bit of personality is all it takes... be independant, do what looks best for you... not what's "in"... | |
|
| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/27/2006 7:34:57 PM | Ah...no. You cannot blame Gwen for this blight on humanity.
Hilary Duff is the root of all that is evil. Next to Tom Cruise of course. | |

I blame Gwen for ALL sorts of atrocities.  | |
|
| Flipping The Bangs Posted: 10/27/2006 10:59:20 PM | Yes, Stefani is one celeb who I've seen sporting the dog sh*t on her forehead. I think she stopped doing her hair like that now, though.
The only thing more hilarious than the women doing their hair like this are the ones in this thread getting all offended by it. I've had four girls who have the hair style in their PoF profiles **** me out for knocking it! | |
