What is the proper name for the hair that's infront of your forehead that goes straight across?

Those are 100% bangs.

Specifically, those are Rachel Billson’s bangs. She’s hot.

Just. Bangs.

Bangs it is.

I think “fringe” is the British word for it. Is that right?

Fringe or bangs !

Bangs is very much an American word. Here in Australia we only really use the term fringe.

I call that a disaster.

Bang fail.

It’s fringe in Australia, I’ve never heard the term “bangs” used anywhere other than on American TV/Movies/etc.

Canada. Fringe is the yarn at the edge of your shawl.

In English the term is fringe.

I speak english!

@faye….. sweet ;)

In my case, long gone.

@TheJoker I don’t understand. Was I insulting somehow?

@faye Yes I think you were.

I could have written it with more words, but it was not meant to be insulting. In Canada we say bangs, and we use fringe to describe the yarn at the edge of your shawl. Better?

@faye….. nope, not at all! You mustn’t take anything I say or do seriously :)

they call it a fashion no no

in Englad we call it a fringe the big thick ones are called donkey fringes or they were when I was little!

Straight bangs, as opposed to feathered bangs, which involve layering.

Unibrow!

I agree with those above who said those were some hideous bangs-gone-wrong.

In the US, bangs. In the UK, fringe.

Must agree with @Cruiser on this one, I was totally going to say unibrow. Glad I read further!

Fringe :)

Bangs just sounds lame.

besides I always thought bang meant something else entirely!
