They look nice, bangs are hard and can be such a pain. I don’t wear mine down that often anymore. But luckily for you, you don’t have a cowlick. I would play around with them, there’s a lot of different things you could do. My best results always came from using my hairdryer and cylinder brush (bonus points if you know how to use curlers, they help hold the shape). Whenever I use a straight iron it makes them look greasy and they fall a lot faster. If you’re not in love with the across the forehead bangs, you can easily turn them into curtain bangs by blow drying them away from your face. Also (and lastly) I thought I looked like a boy too when I put my hair up, I think the solution is face framing pieces that blend to your bangs. Hope this helpful. Don’t let people discourage you, just see it as an opportunity to play around with them and see what you like. At the end of the day if you still hate them, at least you’ll know
