to have thicker bangs so they would lay down!
I'm like you, having had bangs from early on. I looked back at some photos in my childhood albums, and it appears my mom may have been attempting to grow out my bangs when I was around age 9...but that didn't last long.
My bangs now, even though they're about to my eyes, have a natural wave to them, and I've found that my baby bangs (those along my hairline that never grow longer than about 2 inches) are trainable. So I'm sweeping my bangs off to the sides, and I think it gives me an idea of what it'll be like when they're longer. I think I'm actually becoming comfortable seeing my forehead!
I'll be looking for your pics. I'm always interested to see the change from bangs to no bangs! Someday when mine are longer I'll take another photo...
