Bangs, bangs, bangs! A classic look that never goes out of style, we love this old standby for adding a new facet to your look or creating a whole new vibe with one simple change. Today, we’re talking about 3 different types of bangs and our favorite ways to style them. Whether you like to keep it classic or go for a trendier vibe, we’ve got you covered – let’s get into it!
Classic Bangs
The Look
Timeless, simple, and often quite elegant, classic bangs are exactly what you picture when you think of the term “bangs.” Classic Bangs typically go straight across the forehead and fall just above the brow line. Working nicely with a wide range of hairstyles and textures, classic bangs will truly never go out of style. This style works well with a range of hair textures and face shapes, offering a fresh, flattering touch that’s versatile and easy to wear.
How to Style
If you like a cleaner look, style your bangs with a smooth and straight look that gives a completely polished aesthetic. Use a straightening brush like our GoGo Mini Detail Brush or Triangl Pro to really take the look to the next level. If you like a more lived-in feel, take your bangs to a messy yet elegant place with a bit of piecey texture. Use our O2 Texturizer Spray and some finger combing to add that effortless, playful look.
Curly Bangs
The Look
You might think that bangs only work on straight hair, but that’s just not true! We love a moment when someone wants to embrace their natural curls and live out their BeautyBrave truth, and curly bangs are an amazing way to do just that! Totally playful and fun, curly bangs can be short and bouncy or longer and wispy – it all depends on the look you prefer.
How to Style
The best thing about curly bangs? They’re super low maintenance. If you’re looking for an easy way to embrace your texture and put your natural curl out there for all to see, use a curl-enhancing styling product (we love Embellish Texturizing Foam or Jousse Styling Elixir) to really set the look in place without losing any of those bouncy, beautiful ringlets.
Curtain Bangs
The Look
If you’re someone who pays attention to hairstyle trends, you’ll know that curtain bangs had a big moment a few years back. The trend started because it’s a versatile choice that flatters many different face shapes and gives people who don’t want to go full-bang an option to play around with face-framing and create an exciting new look. Typically cut to part down the middle, curtain bangs sweep away from the face to offer chic framing and a lovely, effortless look. They tend to be a little longer and fall just below the cheekbones. Your favorite 70s icons? They knew how to rock a curtain bang!
How to Style
The perfect way to add a little structure to your look without committing to a full fringe! We love to style curtain bangs away from the face for a soft, face-framing look. Try using your Perfecter Pro to gently curl the hair away from the face and add a dimensional element to your long look.
