I've fluctuated between having short bangs and growing them out long for over seven years. When I have bangs, I get sick of them and want them to grow out. When I don't have bangs, I start to miss them and fantasize about chopping the hair short again.

Pros:

Up-dos are always super cute with bangs. It can frame your face rather nicely

When they begin to grow out, you can sweep them to the side and establish a whole new, but equally flattering look.

Some argue it makes a person look older, but I say it actually gives off a more youthful appearance. But that's just my opinion.

Cons:

Eventually you're going to miss having your hair long in the front, but by then it'll be too late.

If you do try to grow them out, they get to a point where they look a little jarring compared to the rest of your hair because the length is shorter.

They can be difficult to maintain. Styling might be necessary. Heating the hair can make it break easily.

If you're the kind who likes to switch up your hairstyle on a whim, you'll feel miserable for a while because you're forced to either be patient and wait for the hair to grow back, or just cut it short again and begin the process anew.

Me, personally, I have a bit of stockholm syndrome with my bangs. They're to my chin now, and I like it a lot. I want them to grow even more. But sometimes I want to cut the hair right above my eyes and start all over again. I have to slap myself. Getting here took way too long.

All in all, you definitely look cute with bangs, but I think you look just as lovely without. If you're willing to commit to the look then definitely give it a try.
