So, I was watching a hair tutorial video on youtube and the guy in it said that if your bangs curve to the right you're manly and if they curve to the left you're feminine/gay (no hating please, his words not mine).
Well, my bangs curve to the left naturally (even if I straighten them, go figure), so in defense of my masculinity let's compare Chinese / Taiwanese male celebrities and come to a conclusion.
So here we have Wu Chun of Fahrenheit fame. His bangs curve to the left. He owns a gym in Brunei and fitness is his thing... so is that manly or womanly? Apparently gyms and working out were made popular by gay men that were concerned with their image. He's also like 30 years old and a member of a Taiwanese boy band... hmm... and I was watching Romantic Princess (公主小妹) and my sister looked over and said "that guy looks so gay." I guess Wu Chun supports the argument then.
And here's Jiro Wang, another Fahrenheit member. His bangs... also curve to the left. He also played a gay character in Hana-Kimi. Maybe I should analyze some guys not in Fahrenheit.
Okay, here's Show Luo. His bangs curve to the right! But I wouldn't necessarily define him as
masculine, so Show is support for the argument that bangs have no indication of masculinity!
Here's Leehom Wang. He's pretty manly, don't you think? Hm, bangs to the right... Bah. Well those are barely even bangs, and Leehom's hairstyles are pretty mild in terms of Asian styles, so I think he can be disregarded.
Ah, Jay Chou. He is such a man. Have you seen him in Dragon Rider? Whew. Hm, bangs to the right. Well you know, Jay
Chou is such a man that he defies all rules and constraints. In fact, I bet the whole idea that bangs to the right is manly came from the fact that Jay Chou's bangs go to the right. Yup.
Gary Cao. Well, his vocal range allows him to sing incredibly high, and in one song he sang both the guy's and the girl's parts (I think the song is Girlfriend). Anyway, only someone very confident in his masculinity (or flamboyantly gay) would sing so high, and I'm gonna go with masculine. And hey, his bangs go to the left! Yay for Gary!
Conclusion:
So clearly the directions that your bangs curve in has nothing to do with your personality. Unless they're perfectly straight, in which case you most likely straighten them every morning and that speaks volumes. But left or right, pay no attention. Just let them fall naturally, because of course looking natural is the most important thing to having fantastic hair.
