Other Options for Styling Straight-across Bangs?

Cut my bangs in an eye-brow length straight across style on Monday & I'm already sick of them (why I make these stupid decisions is beyond me).

Are there any ways, aside from pinning them back, that I can style them? Any way I can fake a side swoop with them? I can add a photo if it would help. :)

I used to french braid them and I still do. I actually have a video on my YouTube channel if you want to see how I do that. Head bands are your best friend and if they're long enough you can put them in a slight bump. You can fake a side swoop but it can take a bit of effort to re-train them to fall to the side. Try doing that when your hair is wet and blow-drying them to the side. Hope this helps you and here's the link to that video I mentioned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbS9PlJWgOY&feature=plcp&context=C465860fVDvjVQa1PpcFOp2YKAG1x08xOOYdRH6HX8vKDx30I3HSg=

Try making them choppier by cutting the ends by holding the scissors vertically to the ends and making tiny snips. That way when you side sweep them, they will look a little more blended. I cut my bangs like that a few months ago. My mom's a hairdresser and that's how I've seen her cut the ends of my bangs thousands of times. :)

Awesome! Thanks; I'll try all that out! :)
