[edit] =Bangs and shaved heads

Growing out a shaved head will always result in bangs...should we add this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.36.219.144 (talk) 20:01, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eyes

Why can a fringe not be over the eyes?! This is one of the most common styles of fringe/bangs... 82.29.77.158 19:07, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bangs?!?

Why is the article called "bangs" when only Americans call them "bangs"... call it a fringe dammit >_< 222.153.147.13 09:16, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

You mean Americans and Canadians. And the simple fact of the matter is that Americans and Canadians are more Common than people from the UK, so it makes more sense to call it bangs.--71.36.43.16 18:06, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] blah

that dude with red hair has really luscious lips... MMM!! :P

[edit] Francesca Dani image - not fair use

I've removed the image of the model Francesca Dani from the Bangs (hair) page, as it is certainly not fair use of a copyright image. It'd be fine on a page about the model herself, but not about the hairstyle she happens to be sporting. Also, I note from the edit history that this removal had been done before, by User:MattKingston, so I'm not entirely sure why I have to do it again. Unless people are feeling anarchistic about licensing law - I know I do sometimes. -- (James McNally)  (talkpage)  02:06, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hmmm

I'll have to see if I have any pictures I can use. Someone should also put this in a section about style or something, since it seems to be a "growing" fashion trend.

A boy in my chorus class a few years ago had fifteen inch bangs, long enough to make that kid's hair look short. Our class made up a song for him that I have always found exceptionally funny, though it may be that you "had to be there." In any case, here are the lyrics:

To be sung to the tune of "Do Your Ears Hang Low"

Do your bangs hang low, can you touch them to your nose?

If I tied them in a knot, would you cry and clutch them close?

Have they grown and grown and grown and grown and grown and grown and grown?

Do your bangs hang low?

Do your bangs hang low, do you comb them down for show?

And if someone cut them off, would you ever be consoled?

Can you touch them to your shoulder, if you bend your head real low?

Do your bangs hang low?

I'm almost certain that this song applies here.

[edit] Be Bold

As per the first entry, why is this listed as bands and not fringe? Thus, I moved it to what the entire world (minus one country) knows it as. No disrespect intended by this, I just figured that the majority of viewers would be stumped trying to work out what's going on when looking for this article. Jachin 09:23, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Jesus effing christ what an argument to have! I am from the UK, hence would prefer fringe, but how can you presume to speak for the Chinese, Brazilians, Indians and Polynesians of this world? You are sure they use "fringe"

I would have thought there were better things to worry about. Such as this sentence "In the late 1980s and early 1990s, poofy, curly, teased fringes were in fashion." What's with the word "poofy"? 164.143.244.34 14:40, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disagree, Bangs are not Fringe

I disagree, fringe and bangs are clearly not the same thing, as far as popular culture in the United States is concerned. The article here clearly states "except that it does not cover the eyes." In the US, when referring to bangs, it absolutely can cover the eyes (and is quite acceptable and I hung out with a girl who had this style last night). In fact, in the broadest sense I'd say bangs in the United States are loosely defined as curled or straight hair which covers some part of the forehead using hair across the full width of the forehead. It can include the eyes. The most typical definition being "hair with the ends pointed generally downward and when viewing a profile of a person curls outward over the forehead."

It seems to be a case where loosely translated fringe and bangs are the same but within their own culture usage there is a subtle but important difference and I think they should be separate articles. 216.253.200.145 18:04, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

IMO fringe can cover the eyes. It's called a long fringe. :P --pfctdayelise (talk) 12:42, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Huh?

How come this page is called "Fringe"? Why shouldn't it be called "Bang"?

I thought fringe was the correct term and bang was more of a slang term. *shrug* I don't really mind where it is. Liam Markham 12:03, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
