Hair "banks" for bangs

The latter part of the 19th century in the United States brought bang-tail horses, whose tails were cut short, and a few years later, bangs as a description of straight-cut hair on the forehead. The banks that line a river, with their riparian vegetation, have been so named since protogermanic times.

Salon review:
This is the worst haircut I have ever received. I wonder who hires these people. I came home to find out that the woman cut my banks not only crookedly, but my banks have long and short parts to them. I have no choice but to go somewhere else for someone to fix my hair. All I needed was a trim and instead I walked out with crooked banks.

Management advice:
Shrug the few times I cut my banks above the shoulders I just put wear a bandanna or hat until it gets long enough to tie back. After that it straitens right out. I normally keep my hair mid back to waist length. I hate short banks. They drive me nuts.

More tips:
would say cut it where it is like an inch or two below the shoulders and cut your banks at a slant where they go over one eye type deal.

Infrared disguise detection:
Also, some of the subject’s natural hair banks are exposed in the forehead area.
