Suggestions on what to do with my hair?

If you want to put the effort into flat-ironing them every day and to have to worry about them frizzing up a lot, then go for it. I personally hate bangs for the exact same reason: they're too much of a hassle, especially since I live in a very humid place. You could try using product to make them flat and control them, but then you run the risk of your bangs looking greasy/crusty and getting breakouts on your forehead from the product rubbing on it (if you're the type to get acne).
