In addition to more trips to the salon for bang trims, there’s also the additional maintenance like more cleansing (bangs tend to get greasy because they absorb the oil, sweat, make-up, and SPF from your face) and daily finessing - though many consider the latter to be far and away worth it.
“Some people find the feeling of hair on the face uncomfortable or it might be more practical to have hair fully swept back day to day,” he says.
