^i did that once, i ended up wearing a headband, though I know if it is too short, you might not be able to. or pull what you h ave to the side with a barrette.
on another note, i think bangs can work for a lot of people, you just have to get the right cut of bangs. in the case of bangs, i have to say to go to a very skilled hair person. if you are in ny, it's worth it for a stylist to set the cut, so when you go back to your hometown, they can just follow it..
mine are almost grown out, not sure whether to cut them again, i feel so boring without!
