Long Bangs
Full bangs look fabulous on many types of hair. One of our favorites is victory roll style bangs, which involves gathering and twisting bangs around your face to form an eye-catching retro aesthetic that works for any face shape and hair color.
Long layered bangs can also add volume and texture to locks while being the least-committal type of bang – they blend effortlessly into the rest of your locks and can quickly be grown out with regular salon trims.
For an elegant take on this timeless cut, take inspiration from pin-up icon Brigitte Bardot and try her signature mussed-up curtain bangs that fall just above her brow. These lash-skimming fringes also help slim down the appearance of your face!
Medium Bangs
Medium-length hair is an excellent way for those wanting to try bangs for the first time. Their easy maintenance makes them stand out and perfectly highlight the forehead, eyes, and cheekbones – this style works exceptionally well on thicker locks!
Baby bangs are another fantastic style for medium-length hair and should be slightly swept to one side and worn backward. They help conceal wide or long foreheads while flattering heart, diamond, and oblong face shape perfectly.
An easy and stylish way to add color and dimension to medium-length hair with bangs is by dying it two or more shades lighter than your natural color. This gives off an irreverent, free-spirited vibe.
Short Bangs
Micro fringes are a cute way to make the hair appear fuller, and they work exceptionally well when combined with oval faces since they frame it without covering too much forehead area. Alison Sudol’s baby bangs exemplify this; she pairs hers with a tousled A-line bob for softness. For round faces, an arching straight full fringe that finishes just beneath the eyebrows will add balance while adding framing effects and touches that give them credit and make for the ideal additions!
For a casual yet laid-back style, try wispy bangs textured with sea salt spray and scrunched with your fingers for an untidy yet straightforward manner. This style works best on medium-length hair and requires regular trims every 6-8 weeks; additionally, this look can highlight your eyes by asking your stylist for a bold color that stands out against dark locks.
Side Bangs
Side-swept bangs are timeless styles that always stay in style. They can be worn at various lengths to suit any skin tone at any age.
To achieve the ideal bangs, symmetry is critical. According to hairstylist Monae Everett, for an angular and more flattering appearance, asymmetrical bangs should be slightly longer on one side than the other for more pleasing results. She suggests adding color to your locks for increased vibrancy and dimension.
Choppy bangs are an easy, low-maintenance way to add length without much commitment – they blend more seamlessly with face-framing layers than blunt fringe and can even be changed on an as-needed basis.
Space Buns
Space buns are an adorable and daring hairstyle perfect for all hair types. To add flair, pair your buns with vibrant hues like this unique rainbow style for an unexpected touch!
Start with freshly washed and dry hair free from tangles to achieve the look. Comb or brush the strands before parting them down the center with a precision comb for an even split.
Once you’ve created the part, grab one of your ponytails and fashion a loose bun at its base for an informal space bun style or make it larger to create more volume. Repeat on both sides and secure with hairspray – then enjoy your new look! This style makes an excellent casual day look because its minimal maintenance requirements.
