If you want a stylish new way to style your locks without losing length, this sexy fringe haircut could be just what’s needed to bring out its best features. Perfect for all ages and face shapes alike.
Curtain Bangs
Curtain bangs have recently gained in popularity, and hairstylists report they look stunning and can be worn throughout all four seasons. Here’s how it’s done:
1. Direct your bangs using a blow dryer
2. Pull apart and pin your bangs
Wispy Fringe
Wispy fringes are soft and light bangs that create a barely-there look, perfect for fine hair that requires low maintenance. Wispy fringes make an easy, low-maintenance addition that works well with romantic braided styles, unstructured updos, and loose waves.
Side-Swept Wavy Fringe
Winona Ryder’s side-swept, wavy fringe exemplifies how side-swept wavy ruffles can add dimension and frame the face beautifully. To maintain the style, spray roots with Oribe’s Dry Texturizing Spray before blow-drying to add volume to strands and give your look its signature finish.
Choppy Fringes
Choppy fringes with uneven, side-swept layers are perfect for bold, tomboyish styles like Rihanna’s. She makes this bold style her signature look by pairing it with bold eye makeup.
Stick-Stick Straight Bangs
Bangs add an extra oomph to any style, from face-framing fringes to sleek straight cuts. Always blow dry them when wet to keep them looking their best – this helps tame cowlicks and frizz for the smoothest finish possible! For maximum ease, use TRESemme Keratin Smooth Serum for optimal smoothing results.
Shag Bangs
As its name implies, this shag haircut features soft layers and blunt bangs for an attractive yet classic style. Perfect for adding dimension without going too bold with their cut! This long shag hairstyle stands out with its front-flipping bangs and see-through fringe. Plus, its cool blonde hue creates a stunning finishing touch! Shaggy face-framing layers are currently trending thanks to celebrities such as Billie Eilish and Rihanna embracing it. This effortless yet sun-kissed long-shag hairstyle requires minimum styling effort for maximum impact!
Curly Bangs
Curly hair pairs perfectly with bangs; its full ringlets frame your face beautifully while drawing attention to your eyes. Celebrities like Solange Knowles, Insecure’s Yvonne Orji, and model Mica Arganaraz all rock this combination of straight bangs with curly locks. If you have curly or wavy hair, always cut your bangs while they are dry to get an accurate idea of how much trim is necessary. Create this style by clipping off a section of your top layer and individually snipping each curl one by one. Shea Moisture offers Coconut and Hibiscus Frizz-Free Curl Mousse as an effective curl enhancer to complete this style.
Baby Bangs
Baby bangs are smaller than regular bangs designed to frame the forehead while showing off eyes and eyebrows. Easy to grow out, baby bangs look great on all face shapes. Additionally, their natural wave can be highlighted through them. Baby bangs can be more sensitive than longer fringe styles to hair growth, necessitating more frequent trims than usual. To achieve an even and precise cut, ideally, professional service should handle this look; additionally, a thermal protectant can be applied before blow drying to prevent over-drying of tiny hairs.
Middle-Forehead Bangs
As their name implies, middle-forehead bangs typically rest above your eyebrow line and can either be long or short – perfectly complimenting any hair length. Middle-forehead charges are especially suited to round faces as they draw attention away from your forehead and towards your eyes instead. Goebel recommends this style to those with an adventurous spirit who wish to experiment with new looks without fully committing. Plus, this approach grows out quickly should something not work for them! An off-center fringe is suitable for all face shapes, but especially those with large foreheads, as it adds balance and helps symmetry of features.
