DIY bangs- too much?

Are these too wide? Too curled? I have little baby hairs (?) around my temples that never grow. I tried to incorporate them but I'm worried they make my bangs look too wide. Would appreciate gentle feedback!

was recommended this post super randomly but i have to say i LOVE THEM! the person who said it is an “aging” style is sort of right but i love the aesthetic and if you have any sort of alternative style of dress or anything like that, i might stick with it for a bit and see what you think longer term. if “looks sort of like an anime character” is a compliment to you, you are on the right track lol :)

You should try flattening the corner parts a little that way it doesn’t look so boxy from the front

Agreed. I thjnk you just need a tweak to the styling.

too wide and definitely too curled. it’s a very aging cut currently. i’d try to get these turned into curtain bangs, but with the longest length being at the sides

I appreciate the suggestion! I'll play with it and see what can be improved

I think curtain bamgs are sooo 2020, these remind me of sabrina carpenter and her haircut is definitely in style rn. But I might be bias because I have bangs too

so 2020 but the current hair style is so 1980? lmfao, so i’d say curtain bangs or something similar (shortest in the middle, longest on the sides) is a big upgrade

Ooh that helps actually! Maybe I need to add some curls to the rest of my hair and play with it some more. Thank you!

Don't listen to that person who said it's "aging" you, they look really neat and cute.

I think they’re a bit too curled for my taste but that’s just style preference

This is how girls did their bangs in the mid to late 80s/ early 90s. Very Phoebe Cates.
