Hi All! Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. No surprise, but I ended up trimming my bangs and my length (sigh...), but I haven't given up the cause. It's just with about 4 inches of grey/brown roots showing and the rest a deep hennaed red, it was a little frustrating. so I opted to trim off some more henna to a blunt chin length bob and blunt bangs.

But I'm back on the no trimming wagon, especially for my bangs. The henna is completely gone from them...yeah!

Happy growing and tell me how you are doing.

Using whatever shampoo and conditioner are in the shower. Right now it's Suave Coconut poo and condish. blow-frying AND curling iron. Need to get a new routine!

sorry to hear you had to cut, but am glad the henna is gone from your bangs and that you are happy about that. I've not trimmed my bangs, and haven't measured them either, (basicaly I've been ignoring them but they are now long enough to pull into a bun which makes me very happy!! Keep up the good work/growing.

I haven't been conditioning, but do coconut oil, castor oil and olive oil in rotation.
I wash with water only and rinse about every day, then slather my hair with aloe vera. my hair loves aloe! I have naturaly dry hair, and a dry scalp

your approach of ignoring your bangs is a good one. I'm going to try that starting now, with my bangs and the rest of my hair.

Congratulations on YOUR growth! Keep on growing!

that your bangs will stay back. I still have a pesky few that will just fall forward after I pull my hair back/up. Sometimes it does look kind of pretty that way it frames my face, bending beneath my chin.

Love your curls!!

that the henna is gone from your bangs. I'm guessing that you have decided to go au nautral with the color? I would love to see a pic of your progress. I recently decided too to let it be natural after doing a henna/indigo process in June. I may be looking at cutting a little off the ends as well once the roots start getting longer.

I will try to get some photos this weekend. What would be best is a picture from the top showing my silver, then my brown/red (from natural instincts), then the dark red henna. But, yes, I'm going completely natural with the color. Congratulations to you on going natural as well! And I bet your bangs will be staying back in your updos before you know it!

It seems like it's been such a long time since I decided to grow them out!

i'm currently close to tip of my nose. yippee!!! only sometimes it's annoying that my bangs can easily fall on my face. any suggestion? (f.y.i., i'm a male college student, so please give me an idea on how i can deal with my bangs). really hope that i can get my bangs till below chin next year.

using a bobby pin. You might be able to work it to hold them back and hide it if you would be concerned about what ppl would think. Do you wear a part? Have you tried any products like gel or pomade?

hi there, thanks for your respond. that's what i been thinking. bobby pin is kinda easy to be used but at the same time kinda weird if a male is wearing it. how to hide it if i'm wearing it? my hair is parted in the middle of the head. and yes, i'm using gel but what is pomade?

I've seen some men use a small pony-tail holder (in a dark color to match your hair) and pull the bangs up and back on your head as far as you can then just wrap the band around them. Sorry, I'm having trouble describing this process. But the bangs end up lying flat across the top and back of your head (not sticking up) and then sort of blend in to the rest of your hair.

I hope that helped a little!

can you please post the photos? because i couldn't get the picture. for now if i'm doing any work at home i'd planned of just wearing hair band. but i don't think of using it outside of the house.

I got my hair trimmed (about 4inches) but didn't touch the bangs. They are about 1 to 1.5 inches from the rest of my hair. They still fall out sometimes when I pull it up.

I was wondering how you've been doing with your bangs. Your new hair pic is beautiful! You've almost got those bangs where you want them...congratulations!

Mine are half-way down my nose now. I'm still growing and trying to ignore my hair so I don't cut it. That's why I'm not on the site very often.

I have done pretty well. I actually decided to donate my hair back in August, and this made my hair all one length. Now it is down a little past my shoulders.

Forehead has been liberated, but I DID experience a weak moment a couple of weeks ago where I had a passing notion of getting bangs cut again. I immediately came to the loom for emotional / psychological support!
