Bangs in North America and Fringe in Europe. BUT.....
originated with the practice of cutting horses' tails straight across, a style known to this day as a "bang-tails.
Bangs has been around a long time and when I think of bangs I think of the little dutch boy look. YIKES!
Fringe is always a bit lighter and not as thick as bangs.

I've experienced mine both ways too... but our husband prefers it short... he never ever complains when I grow it long, but is always all over themself w/the complements when I cut it off

Simple. When they grow too long and you can't see very well, you tend to "bang" into alot of things when you're walking.
A better name would be camouflage, because it lets some people hide their huge foreheads (or fiveheads if they're really big)

Well Mr. Lennon, no one ever told me. I 'imagine' it is because the hair bangs you in the forehead...like whoops up side your head...the GAP Band.

Medium length hair because it is easy to handle and you can still carry out most of the hairstyles

its more of an american phrase.
until yahoo answers id never heard anyone in here in England saying it.
at the hair dressers i go to they always say fringe.
i think its just just different countries use different words.
like most americans call spaying/castrating your dog "fixing" whereas in the uk ive only ever heard it called neutering or spaying/neutering
