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.

I think I know what you're talking about, and yeah I think that 'do looks dumb too. If it's what I think you mean, a lot of actresses and pop stars do their hair like that.

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.

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.

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!

That makes two women in this topic who can't read...

Glad to see that everyone else agrees that it looks terrible.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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"...

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.

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!
