RWS I think you look really great with the bangs down and maybe just a little less good with them up (my preferences tend towards hair down in general, so there's my bias). Maybe have them up when you're going casual and down when you're dressing up? I imagine having them down in your eyes would get annoying?
normz all of the QUIFFS are really cute so you should keep it longish, I have really no preference between the first two shots you posted, but the last two are rad.
Lunchbox, thankyou for actually answering my question seriously, I was more or less thinking of doing what you said, I might try to work something out with the hairdresser when I get there/just let them do whatever the hell they want. And yes I condition religiously, otherwise my hair knots up like a mo-fo.
EDIT: Damnit why do I always pagebreak things.
