Dear Manda,
While my hair is not nearly as curly as yours, I have pretty wavy hair with bangs. One thing I've learned is that they can be trained! If you blowdry, you can semi-straighten them with your fingers so that they're still kind of curly, but not one big fat sausage curl. You can do this if you air dry too though- after a couple days of tugging on them the same way, they'll start to lay the way you want. I guess I think you look a little cuter with the bangs, but it's probably impossible to make you look even remotely uggo.
