Three Gorgeous Ways to Wear Bangs

Bangs are the hottest new old trend in hairstyles - even I recently added some fringe to my ‘do! Here’s are a few different basic styles of bangs. Check them out, pick one you like best and bravely march into your hair salon demanding a new style. Don’t be scared - it’s just hair!

Blunt Bangs

A perennial favorite of models, these bangs are cut to just below the eyebrow, straight across the forehead. Blunt cut bangs give the illusion of thickness, making them a great choice for those with fine hair.

To make this hairstyle look modern and sleek, curl your bangs from underneath for added fullness, then style with a shine cream like L’Oreal Studio Line Smoothness Glossing Cream.

Wispy, Piecey Bangs

A feathery style cut below the brow that’s universally flattering, these bangs work especially well for thick hair. Tip: to keep the look modern, don’t have your stylist blend the bangs into the layers around your face - it looks too much like the “Rachel”, which is oh so very 1996.

To style, blow dry hair, leaving bangs slightly damp. Separate them with your fingers and use a styling spray like Biolage Bodifying Spray Gel to make them piecey.

Sideswept Pseudo-Bangs

Don’t want the commitment of full-on bangs? Young starlets like Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan are opting for long layered bangs cut so that they taper into the hair on one side. These bangs flatter long face shapes.

To style, brush out the bangs into a long side part, then blend them into your hair with a flat iron. A little shine serum won’t hurt, either.
