According to Alex, getting side bangs with long hair requires balance and proper communication with your stylist. In my interview, Carbonell shared his go-to-rule for women considering this cut, “I always consider the balance in any haircut. They are all connected and must have balance. When hair is long, therefore, add long layers and lighter or softer sides to create a balance movement.”

One of the biggest benefits of long hair and bangs is versatility. “There is versatility in having long hair and adding quirks like fringe and wisps, curtain bangs or veil bangs,” Carbonell said. He added that “anyone with any face shape can wear bangs” if they carry it well. So talk with your hairdresser about this.

However, Carbonell also shared some potential drawbacks to getting this style. These include issues with texture, cowlicks, and a lack of density in the bangs area. Carbonell recommended wearing the fringe longer or opting for veil bangs to overcome these issues. He also advised that communication with your stylist is key to avoiding maintenance issues and ensuring proper styling. It’s important to discuss with your stylist whether your desired bangs require blow-drying or styling and whether the bangs will interfere with your daily activities.
