Here’s what I’m working with:  I’m obviously the one without the face cover. I have thick colored hair- burgundy that I love My hair gets wavy when wet with tights curls underneath. I generally just blow dry straight in the morning and that’s it. I’ve had side bangs many times but have never loved them. I’m also not a big fan of lobs but could be convinced. Currently my hair sits just below my shoulders. The only area I have a problem with is my forehead. It’s large so some how covering it a bit but not having full bangs has been the bane of my existence. I look cute with full bangs but my resting bitch face is bad. Then you add in harsh bangs and suddenly people are avoiding you like the plague. This is babbling now so I’ll just post some things I was looking at    I worry with the lob that my big forehead will make it be weird. ETA: I want to keep as much length as possible. |

I think you’d look great with a bob.

Also I have hair like your, thick and wavy. I was it at night and let it air dry overnight then tidy it up in the morning. Takes 5 minutes and ends up with a nice amount of texture

First, your forehead is not big.
Second, a lob will look fantastic on you. And if you're really unsure because of your worries about your forehead, get a lob with swoopy bangs like in the picture posted above.

wedding but it's not disproportionate! Like I said though, swoopy bangs would help "distract" if it's something you'll feel self conscious about.

I have similar forehead issues and have tried a variation of these with good results.   |

I LOVE the 2nd/middle pic you posted, with the shorter layers. Also that pic is basically my hair. I love a good amount of layers like that, starting around the chin & going down.

Your problem is your forehead but you don’t like side bangs or full bangs, you don’t want to lose length either...I don’t know what’s left to suggest besides putting layers in or “the Rachel” angled bangs 😄 I was going to suggest a bob before I saw your comment about length

Don't be afraid yolose a little length! I think it would really frame your face better. And I agree with brux. |

I think either of these would look fabulous on you, but I particularly like the second cut. Your hair has the body to really pull it off and it’s so summery! |

Your forehead is not big and you could totally rock a lob.
I also have thick hair but my wave is all in the under parts, the top of my hair is pretty straight. I recently got an undercut that you cannot see unless my hair is pulled all the way up. It saves me at least 10 minutes of styling time and makes me feel like a secret badass. I am now telling all people with thick hair to do it. My stylist had been trying to convince me fo a couple years and she was right.

I just used this as my pic for my haircut on Friday, I asked to make it just a little longer than the pic. I went with bangs because I can’t Botox my forehead right now. I know you don’t want bangs but if you feel like your forehead is too big (I don’t but you do), that’s your solution. Plus the texture would be good for wavy hair.  A longer version here:  |

I don't think you have a large forehead at all! I like these. The bang one if you feel like you want to cover your forehead but I don't think it's necessary. ❤   |

Lob with side bangs. Your forehead is perfectly proportioned.
