Bangs and Summer Tan

A: Your friend raises a valid concern, but it's definitely not a deal-breaker for getting bangs. The visibility of uneven tanning depends on several factors, including how deeply tanned the rest of your skin becomes and how thick or dense your bangs are.
If you're curious about how noticeable the difference might be, here's a simple test you can try. If you already have some sort of fringe or longer hair that falls across your forehead, take a look in the mirror under good lighting and lift that hair away from your face. If there's a significant difference in skin tone where your hair typically sits, then you'll have a pretty good idea of what to expect with bangs.
But honestly, even if you don't currently have bangs, this shouldn't stop you from getting the style you want. When you visit your stylist, just mention your concerns about summer tanning. They can work with you to create a bangs style that's more wispy or textured, which allows more light to filter through to your forehead. Alternatively, you could go with whatever bangs style you love most and simply plan to pull them back with a headband, hair clips, or a bandana when you're spending time in the sun.

Your friend's argument, while thoughtful, seems to overlook the fact that there are plenty of practical solutions to this problem. You shouldn't have to choose between the hairstyle you want and enjoying summer activities. With a little planning and the right accessories, you can have both.
One more important thing to keep in mind: while we're talking about achieving an even tan, it's worth remembering that any tanning involves skin damage from UV radiation. This damage accumulates over time, and many people who spent their teens and twenties pursuing the perfect tan find themselves dealing with premature aging, sun spots, and increased skin cancer risk later in life. Whatever you decide about your bangs, please make sure you're protecting your skin with sunscreen and limiting your UV exposure. Your future self will thank you for being thoughtful about sun safety now.
