You also have to adjust to the concept that you may have to deal with shorter than desired bangs every time you go in for a trim as hair grows a quarter to a half inch per month. There is a new line of hair care products that you will also need to buy to tame these bangs and keep them in shape.

Also, you have to prepare for others not to necessarily appreciate your new look. It's not that other opinions matter, but bangs are a drastic change and your partner, friends, or children may have a negative reaction to your new hairstyle. Of course, this is common with any drastic change that you make to your hair, so prepare for that.

Once you decide that you are no longer a fan of bangs, the growing out process is much like growing out short hair. You reach an awkward length and suddenly you want to give up and call your stylist for a trim and you may never end up growing them back out. Patience is key, and you will want to remember that growing out the super blunt bangs will not be an easy feat.

Growing out blunt bangs will be downright stressful, so maybe start with some wispy side bangs. See how you handle them and the reactions and if you feel inclined and confident enough, go for blunt.
