Curtain Bangs
Curtain bangs are a current popular trend that adds some fun style to your look. Curtain bangs are generally paired with a middle part and longer than other bang styles. They are parted in the middle, allowing them to frame the side of your forehead, like curtains, hence the name. This bang style requires little maintenance, is easy to grow out, and doesn’t require too much upkeep. If you are looking for bangs that don’t require constant attention or styling, but give you a new look, this is a great option!
Blunt Bangs
Blunt bangs, or classic bangs, are what most people picture when they think of bangs. These are the straight-across forehead bangs that can look amazing. While some people absolutely love these bangs, they do require more upkeep than other styles, meaning you will have to get them trimmed more often so they don’t grow too long. If you don’t mind going into the salon every few weeks for a quick trim, this could be a fun style to try!
Micro Bangs
Micro bangs have become another popular trend that we love! Some people can rock these tiny bangs like they were born to do it. Micro bangs offer a look that is a mix of retro and modern, giving you a completely unique look. Micro bangs stop in the middle of your forehead, about an inch above your eyebrows. If you are looking for a truly bold look, micro bangs are for you!
Layered Bangs
Layered bangs are a great middle-ground for those who are a little nervous about jumping straight into other bang styles. Layered bangs, as the name suggests, use a lot of different layers and lengths to help blend your bangs into the rest of your hair. Think face-framing layers and bangs mixed together! These bangs are a great option for those who like to change up their style. These bangs can be parted in the middle, worn flat, or brushed to one side, making them versatile and perfect for creating different looks!
Birkin Bangs
Named after Jane Birkin, and also known as eye-skimming bangs, these bangs are longer than others, ending right above your lashes. While these bangs definitely require more upkeep and maintenance than other bang styles, they are absolutely gorgeous and almost everyone can pull them off. These bangs are effortless, sassy, and can completely transform your look. If you go for Birkin bangs, be sure to invest in some texturizing spray!
Side-Swept Bangs
Side-swept bangs were extremely popular in the early 2000s but they will never go out of style! These are another great bang to try out if you are ready to take the plunge with a more dramatic bang style. Long, layered, side-swept bangs can give your hair more texture and style. They are simple to style, can provide an elegance to your look, and are easy to grow out if you hate them!
Feathered Bangs
Feathered bangs are very similar to curtain bangs but they don’t have to be parted in the middle. This bang style can be worn in a variety of ways, allowing you to have some fun with them. Unlike layered bangs, feathered bangs get their texture at the ends, rather than having layers cut directly into the hair. These bangs can blend well with the rest of your hair, offering a more subtle look.
There are many other different bang styles, including wispy bangs, baby bangs (which are slightly longer than micro bangs), shaggy bangs, arch bangs, face-framing bangs, and more. While most people picture the classic, straight-across forehead style when they think of bangs, there are so many more options! This makes it easy to find a bang style that fits with your hair type, face shape, and how much effort you want to put into your bangs. Bangs can be a fun way to give your hair a new and refreshed look, but it’s best to let the professionals take care of it!
