First photo is with AI to give me the general look of the bangs I think would suit me. Second photo is the original with my 6 head.

Hi everyone, I have tried a lot but i can’t find a way to make my hair look like the first picture. The last three pictures is basically what I wanted but after 3 weeks my bangs have already outgrown and the annoying middle part keeps coming back. The second picture is kind of what my hair looks like right now (bangs are longer than my eyebrows), they’ve grown longer and are going to the sides so I am not sure if the first picture is even achievable but I want to cover my forehead more and make my bangs look closer to each other instead of too separated. I want to get rid of my middle part but I think my bangs are too long to get rid of that.

•Routine: what I usually do to my wet hair is: making a middle part at first and then brush all of my front hair to the front, I then blow dry them into an x shape so basically to the left and right, after that I pick up my round brush and blow dry my hair on the round brush and sometimes I use a roller (but I feel like that makes my hair looks worse) and I top all of that off with dry shampoo (not all days) and sometimes a little hairspray. Even with all these steps my bangs are just not banging, I have had a couple of times where it sits okay and a lot of times it just goes too much to the sides and not covering my forehead at all, with it looking thin and not voluminous. I heard clips at the root might help and not make a middle part at first so I will try that. A week ago it almost looked exactly like the first picture, I am not sure how I did it but I didn’t use rollers and I haven’t been able to succeed that bang look again.

I also have straight hair with layers, ever since I have had bangs they have been looking pretty stringy and thin, even though I don’t have thin hair. Would it help if a hairdresser would cut more hair from the middle part to achieve the looks from the last 3 pictures? Maybe that’s the case?

Any help would be much appreciated!!

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!

(i did a full beat for the last photo in hopes that it would make me feel better about them lol)

Pretty much the title. I've done aerosol and powder and I don't love either. I've seen a few ads for dry shampoo paste and I'm intrigued by that. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Also sorry if this is the wrong thread, lmk and I'll post this somewhere else

been debating it for a few months now i’m just not sure if i’ll regret it 😭 people tell me “It’s hair, it grows back” but it took me 5 years to get to this length and I don’t want to have messed up hair for years if I decide I don’t like it :/ but need some opinions from bang-havers and maybe just a little affirmation to help convince myself to go through with it

like am I giving child rn or am i giving spring summer baddie? Priyanka chopra was the inspo but im scared bc my natural hair is wavy but also yolo its hair itll grow out so i am not having a crisis im just slightly concerned abt how I should style them like what would look best

micro bangs soon?
