If you’re one of those people who like to start every new year with a fresh haircut, it’s time you finally consider getting bangs. Regardless of your face shape, there are various looks you can try out. In this article, we’ll take a look at 5 ways you can style bangs and kick-start your 2024.

Long Curtain Bangs

Curtain bangs look good on pretty much every face shape as they are quite long, and you can get them to fall on the parts of your face you want to highlight. They can reach the corners of your mouth and accentuate your lips, just like Priyanka Chopra. If your cheekbones are your favorite feature, you can cut your bangs accordingly.

The best thing about curtain bangs is that they serve as a frame for your face and highlight its shape. They will work best if your hair is on the wavier side, but you can always get that bouncy look with a round brush while blowdrying.

Loose Wispy Bangs

Loose, wispy bangs are currently super fashionable as they are easy to grow out, look effortless, and only reveal a small part of your forehead. Over the years, we’ve seen stars like Nina Dobrev, Rihanna, and Selena Gomez own the look.

The only downside of this type of style is that they can easily become greasy. What you do is spray your hair with dry shampoo right after washing it. Wispy bags are suitable for almost any hair texture and help soften your facial features.

Short Baby Bangs

The name says it all, but baby bangs are a shorter version of the wispy ones. This style will be perfect if you want your eyebrows to be visible, just like Nicola Peltz Beckham, who has embraced the look, wearing her mini bangs so short that her eyebrows are visible.

One thing you should remember is that the bangs must look soft and not harshly cut. People with smaller faces would suit this hairstyle the best.

Go Big With Full Bangs

Whenever full bangs are mentioned, there’s one particular name that pops into everyone’s heads: Taylor Swift. The singer is known for her wide and straight fringe, which has already become her trademark.

If you have a higher forehead, full bangs can help visually shorten it. However, if your face is on the smaller side, we recommend considering a different hairstyle.

Side-Swept Bangs

If you want to look as if you’re one of those commercials where your hair effortlessly blows the wind, side-swept bangs are the way to go.

Plus, they are a great option if you’re trying to grow out your bangs and don’t want them falling into your eyes all the time. Simply spray some hairspray to hold them, and they’ll stay in place all day.
