I think it can work but it depends on how you style it. I straighten mine and I think it looks okay.

This is what mine basically looks like:


It's kinda messy here. I got it cut recently so, now it's eyebrow level.

Thank you! Next time i go to get my haircut I'll definitely ask my hairdresser what she thinks! Compared to your hair mines not as
curly but it looks quite similar thank you!

My hair isn't curly but it's not straight. It's more wavy so it's at that awkward "is it straight or wavy?" question.

This is what it looks like when I don't do anything to it.

Spoiler

I usually straighten it but I get so freaking lazy. I've always thought that I shouldn't fight my natural hair but instead work with it. I'm not that good with curling yet though.

I have strange wavy hair like that too. If I'm going anywhere, I'll definitely straighten it. I hate how my hair looks naturally.

No problem. Glad I could help.
I find my fringe looks better when it's about eyebrow level but the length is up to you.
I hope your hair turns out nice.

Bangs are big maintenance. Curly ones require even more maintenance. It's alsoweord getting used to them. But overall I like having bangs.

You have to be prepared to have to straighten them. The bangs are short so they don't curly so much as try and wave out into different directions. A widow's peak makes this worse. How you wear your hair should affect your bangs. If you leave your curls don't fully straighten the bangs and bump them a bit, but if you straighten your hair straighten the bangs.

It also heavily depends on the type of bangs you want. Full or thin? Side or no? Straight or jaged? Layered?

I'm a guy with curly hair, I hate it and never know what to do with it. Most sites are aimed ate female hair as well so I never know how well it'll translate to my own hair

I have full bangs but I've parted them to the side for now until I can get them cut. It took me a year to get used to them but I definitely prefer them. It's best to straighten them, especially if they're curly. Eyebrow level is nice so it gives them room to grow.

My hair is as curly as the person's hair in my avatar is.

i have really tick hair and it gets curly like crazy after I go swimming, but the cloe really makes it dull so I use cream and dax daily, but I have trained my hair so it doesn't get as curly, as for products I don't really use any ( I use frutissse, and cr?me of nature products if that helps ) yep that's abut all I can say.

No more cheap shampoo. Curly and thick hair can't take it. It's sad, but true. And most of our shampoos don't smell as pretty. But our hair looks nicer so there's that.

And like Pally said, don't be embarrassed. It's actually really common. More so with girls with weaves and in the black hair community. But it's still common. People just like to try and hide it, but hairdressers have definitely dealt with the problem more than once. Hairdressers prefer to say to cut it because it's less work and less expensive, but you can find ones that are willing to waste bottles of conditioner detangling for you. They'll charge you a lot for it, though.

So I recently went blonde and I was in the process of going purple. So every few weeks I went to bleach my hair. And my aunt, who is my hairdresser, commented on how my hair must be really healthy to have survived all these bleachings and not fallen out. It pays to take good care of your hair. Also, remember your diet has a lot to do with your hair. A bad diet makes hair fall out.

100% agree on the diet thing!
When I was vegetarian (for about three years), my iron was at an all time low.
I've been anemic most of my life, but I've never dipped that low before.
The amount of hair I would lose was insane! tyjesus4mythickhair

I find that most men with curly hair, seem to cut their hair quite short.
But I've seen some grown it out and it looks really nice!
What are you looking to find information about though, exactly?
