Hairstyles with bangs have been popular for many decades. From movie stars and high profile models, to the girl next door, bangs provide a simple yet sophisticated look for any girl.

Hairstylists have become very skilled at creating just the right bang to suit each individual face shape and fashion, and can slice and shape a bang to bring out the best look.

For instance, it’s not only short hair that suits having side swept bangs. Long hair with bangs is equally suitable. However, there are a variety of different hairstyles with bangs, to choose from.

Straight bangs speak for themselves. This is when all the hair is straight and it will sit just above the eyebrows. It can look very dramatic on girls who have long hair with bangs like this.

A wispy bang is a style suited to longer hair. It enhances the volume of hair elsewhere by giving a slight amount of hair over the forehead area, giving it a wispy look.

For even more contrast giving a really adventurous creative hairstyle with bangs, there is the choppy bang. As this name suggests, the bang is cut very unevenly and has almost a zigzag look. This works well on short or long hair with the bangs cut this stylish way.

Some girls love the look of side swept bangs. Side swept bangs have the key feature of taking the straightness and sleekness of the hair as it is brushed to one side of the forehead. This hairstyle can experimented with to determine whether this would look better swept to the left or to the right.

Another popular style is the wavy bang. As one might expect, this is a bang that is curled or waved, and then gently swept across the forehead.

It can be fun experimenting with each of these different styles, and finding the one that suits you best.

Bangs don’t have to be short!  There are lots of women who want long hair with bangs.  Long hair with bangs can make shorter, round faces seem much longer and thinner.  Long bangs can be layered at different levels and textures to create great new styles without much effort.

Fringe, or blunt bangs, are the most common and traditional form of bangs hairstyles.  This hairstyle is popular among women worldwide. This is the easiest choice for those that want long hair with bangs.  Typical fringe bangs, or blunt bangs, are cut straight across in a level line, usually just below the eyebrow.   Blunt bangs are great for minimizing large foreheads, or masking pesky cowlicks or hairlines.

Bangs can be textured and cut to taper in length from short to tall to give a ‘sweeping’ appearance.  Usually parted, the bangs are brushed to sweep along the side of the face.

Choppy bangs are also a popular variation of your typical fringe bangs.  Rather than a level cut, the bangs are trimmed and textured at different levels to give a ‘choppy’ look.  This style is also known as a pixie cut.  Pixie cut bangs are very good for girls with narrow faces.  Choppy bangs give a sense of increased depth for facial features.
