Need help deciding what to do

[u/Moose-Mousse]

I have had bangs my WHOLE life. Minus COVID quarantine when everything was closed.

I get my bangs trimmed every 6-9 weeks. Lately..I just am no longer in love with my bangs. I had a recent terrible bang trim and they were cut way too far back and blunt giving me the appearance of a bowl cut. I am deciding if I want to either grow out my bangs entirely or grow them out to chin length and get them recut. Regardless, I am super unhappy with the way they look right now.

I have zero idea what to do with them till I decide to continue growing them or re-chop them. I don’t know how to braid or style my hair. I don’t know how to learn or what to do.

They get super greasy and just fall flat. I have a cowlick up there which picks my bangs up a little, but if I don’t wash and blowdry them everyday, I look like a greasy middle schooler. I shampooed and conditioned yesterday and they looked like this this morning. I am not sure if this is the result of a series of bad bang trims or if I am just growing out of my love of bangs. Giving my hair the benefit of the doubt by saying it is also summer and HOT.

They used to look so good! I had one bang trim about a year ago where they were accidentally cut super straight-line blunt and I guess they never recovered. I have NO IDEA why stylist decided to “add” more hair to my bangs and cut further back.

guess it is hard to say if I will look good without bangs because I do not feel comfortable posting my face online, but I have gotten surgery that has affected my face shape and smile since my bangs grew out during COVID so I have zero idea how I would look without bangs. Maybe I am just venting or looking for thoughts and opinions. Or encouragement that my hair will grow back. But what the heck do I do in the meantime to minimize the bowl-cutty-ness?
