Bangs add a stunning, feminine flair to any hairstyle, from updos and buns to bobs and beyond. Many different bang styles require minimal upkeep while perfectly matching virtually every length and face shape.
Soft choppy pieces are great for longer hair and can be worn straight or tousled for a trendy shaggy fringe look. Meanwhile, messy bangs offer an effortless style to soften angular features and round off facial structures.
Messy Bangs:
When most of us think of bangs, the straight across-the-forehead style may come to mind. But numerous other types available: face-framing fringe, wispy strands, or complete, flowing waves may all work to your advantage! There’s sure to be one perfect for you.
Try a messy side fishtail braid with bangs for an adorable and chic look. This hairstyle makes an elegant yet playful statement that works for any occasion – the combination of wavy hair and bangs creates an eye-catching sexy, youthful appearance, enhanced even further by using rose gold hair dye for an additional elegant touch.
One simple hairstyle to rock bangs is a side ponytail. Perfect for women growing out their charges, this look allows the rest of your locks to remain hidden behind your ears while still showing off this style. Use a decorative barrette or clip pins to secure it into place before pulling it up into a ponytail or updo, and you are good to go.
Side-Swept Bangs:
Try opting for a soft side-swept bang for an elegant and feminine style. This style frames your face nicely while working well with all hair lengths – plus, it makes styling messy hair easy or adds extra texture with texturizing spray or styling cream!
Dark auburn mid-length shags look beautiful when styled with sleek side bangs, making this cut the ideal solution for those not ready to commit to a bob but wanting an eye-catching fringe.
Long-side bangs pair perfectly with a medium-length bob. Backcomb them gently and spray a few sprays of hairspray onto them for a stylish yet professional look that can easily transition from work to evening events. Finish this style with loose waves for romantic beachy appeal; Kylie Jenner wears this hairstyle flawlessly with wispy fringe and texturized waves in her half-up knot hairstyle!
Long Bangs:
Bangs can make an immediate style statement without cutting your locks drastically. From subtle changes like blunt fringes or bolder ones, there is sure to be an ideal bang hairstyle that fits your personality and facial structure.
Long wispy bangs with side parts add an edge for an edgier look. Or try styling long wavy hair texture in layers by styling side-swept fringes and deep side parts to give extra dimension and create depth in style.
An attractive look for long hair with bangs is to style a layered fringe with a dramatic side-swept style that can be styled backward for an eye-catching topknot or worn loose for a chic topknot look. This looks especially striking against golden blonde hues and can help soften the features on your face for a more flattering appearance.
Short Bangs:
Short hair with bangs is easy to style and provides a modern touch to any cut. To add flair, dye your bangs a vibrant hue for added self-expression and make a statement!
If you prefer something more subdued, opt for a side-parted bob with short, choppy bangs to frame and soften angular features. If your locks have waves, use a leave-in conditioner like those recommended by Beauty Lab’s experts to keep strands smooth while increasing natural bend.
If you have a thin and straight bob, add a center part to your fringe to give it structure without looking bulky or dull. Or opt for a smoky bob with blunt bangs as an updated take on the classic pageboy haircut. Or ask your stylist to blend short, layered bangs into face-framing layers for an effortless and versatile style; once complete, tousle or add texturizing spray for that just-out-of-bed feel!
