BANG! BANG!
YOU'RE GORGEOUS

You may not be able to fill concert stadiums, line your shelves with Grammys or walk the red carpet with a Super Bowl-winning tight end, but you can share something in common with Taylor Swift — amazing bangs! If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the most famous fringe in any era, it’s that curly or straight, bangs are a sign of the times and a force to be reckoned with.

Different bang styles can frame your face or even give the illusion of changing your face shape with a few strategic snips. Whether you’re seeking a subtle enhancement or a bold transformation, here’s some inspiration to take the plunge.

• Curtain bangs. This iconic 70s look is back and widely popular with celebs like J.Lo and Anne Hathaway for its relaxed feel and easy versatility. Curtain bangs gracefully frame your face and can be feathered and blended with long layers, or cut to precise lengths that emphasize your baby blues or high cheekbones. An added benefit — they’re easier to maintain and faster to grow out.
• Side-swept. These bangs feature longer and angled cuts that sweep gracefully across the forehead. Emma Stone has stunningly incorporated this look across a number of hair colors over the years. They’re flattering across a wide range of face shapes but particularly fabulous on rounder faces. Side-swept bangs offer lots of styling options including the “ear tuck” – that magic, sexy strand you can just slip behind your ear for a bit of careless come-hither.
• Baby bangs. Sitting high on the forehead, they can read vintage or modern depending on the length and style. Perfect for oval-shaped faces, baby bangs bring dramatic emphasis to the eyes and make a gorgeous, grown-up statement. Baby bangs require regular maintenance, but when you can achieve a look like Michelle Williams, you’ll know they’re worth the effort.
• Blunt. Want to give it all you’ve got with a bold, fringe-forward style? Try a blunt bang cut straight across for classic, chic sophistication and gobs of attitude. Singer and X-Factor judge Kelly Rowland has stepped out hard into this rock star look, which is the perfect counterpoint for an oblong or oval face. And Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour has turned her iconic blunt bangs into a personal brand.
• Wispy. Sported by the likes of film star Reese Witherspoon, the ethereal quality of this light, feathery fringe enhances delicate features without overpowering. This is also a better style for those with fine hair, as it doesn’t take much volume away from other areas.
• Textured or Piecey. A fresh take on 80s mall bangs, choppy ends give this style a casual chic, effortless vibe. They’re perfectly paired with an updated shag or trendy wolf cut. Style icon Kristen Stewart has successfully rocked this edgy look. Hair products like a little leave-in conditioner or a pomade adds separation, definition and volume.
