#1: Soft Blunt Bob with Wispy Fringe

#2: Short Shaggy Hair with Wispy Fringe
A short shag with wispy bangs is a fun, low-maintenance cut for most hair types. Try adding curls to enhance the shaggy layers.
#3: Champagne Blonde Short Cut with Wispy Fringe
I suggest trying a champagne blonde short cut with a wispy fringe for a chic look. This hairstyle exudes elegance and playfulness to your overall appearance. The champagne blonde shade complements various skin tones. The short cut provides a low-maintenance and effortless style, perfect for those on the go. The wispy fringe frames the face and adds a soft and feminine touch.
#4: Wispy Fringe in Copper and Brown
A wispy fringe is an excellent addition to copper and brown short hair. It can soften or sharpen facial features based on the placement and length of the fringe. Wispy fringe is especially flattering for those who have a heart-shaped face. Make sure to ask about an option for women who want to add dimension to their hair, if fringe would be right for you. If you are having trouble styling your wispy fringe, spray a little bit of hairspray. Then comb and mold them into a look that lasts all day.
#5: Short Bangs with Wispy Sides
You can help elevate your traditional bob by adding short bangs with wispy sides. Opening up the face-framing of any bob can completely transform the shape. To keep your hair looking youthful, this may be a perfect way to do so. One of my favorite ways of incorporating texture is using a razor. Ask your stylist to use a razor in the bangs to create a wispy effect. Avoid too heavy of fringe. This can throw off the balance of the haircut.
#6: Long Wispy Fringe
Why not try long, wispy fringe? One of the best ways to soften your face shape is with a wispy fringe. Ask for a small section of your fringe to be over-directed to create a side-swept bang. This is easy to wear to the side or part in the middle if you want a different look.
#7 Stunning Naturally-Colored Curls
Consider the elegance of maturity with these stunning naturally-colored curls. Perfect for women sporting a natural salt-and-pepper look, this cut offers a charming mix of wavy textures that’s both low-maintenance and stylish. The delicate, feathered wispy bangs frame the face beautifully, accentuating the eyes. It’s an ideal choice for those looking to enhance their grey without harsh dyes, using a toner to maintain that gorgeous silvery hue. While this style radiates confidence, keep in mind that it may require regular toning to keep the grey vibrant and to minimize any yellowing.
#8: Very Short Bob Cut with Wispy Fringe
If you’re looking for a short cut that texturizes your thick hair, a long pixie hairstyle is the way to go. Make sure you let your stylist know if you are self conscious about your ears. That way, they can modify the length around that area. The tapered nape helps your hair hug your neckline. This helps your bulging hairline.
#9: Layered Bixie Cut with See-Through Bangs
Is your hair lacking volume? A layered pixie cut with see-through bangs may help your traditional bob look better. Avoid any smoothing products while styling. They may assist in weighing your hair down even more. Opt for a volume shampoo and conditioner set. Style by blow drying a mousse into your hair and finishing with matte clay at the root.
#10: Thin Bangs on Short, Wavy Hair
New to fringe? Try thin bangs on short, wavy hair! These brow-length bangs are great for first-timers because they don’t require as much of the hair to be cut, as a full bang. Thin bangs, or wispy bangs, are also easier to grow out of if you decide they’re not for you.
#11: Light Brown Wispy Choppy Fringe
A light brown wispy choppy fringe will accent your face shape and give it style. If you can, have your hairstylist cut your fringe once it’s dry. This will help give you the perfect shape and allow for any cowlicks in your hairline. I suggest blowdrying downwards, holding the nozzle of your dryer close to your bang. This will help you achieve a straight fringe that is not curled under. Round face shapes will love the balance a wispy fringe gives your features.
#12: Soft Rounded Blonde Bob
The epitome of a classic look would be the soft rounded blonde bob. Ask your stylist for help deciding what length you’d like your bob to sit when dry. Your stylist will tell you whether or not to avoid bangs or harsh blunt lines. One of the best ways to wear the bob is to keep it soft and layered. Ask your stylist for soft layering to help the length cup under when blow-dried.
#13: Extra Short French Bob with Wispy Fringe
Don’t be afraid to go extra short with a French bob with a wispy fringe. The short bob adds shape to your hair and will become more manageable. Wispy bangs will add softness to your face for a playful touch. Use some sea salt spray to get some tousled texture.
#14: Textured Bob with Bangs for Small Forehead
A textured bob with bangs is perfect for women with a small forehead. This short bob with wispy bangs helps hide the forehead, elongates the top of the face, and makes the area appear larger.
#15: Short Layered Cut with Curtain Bangs

#20: Piece-y Bangs on Textured Layered Hair
Piece-y bangs look beautiful on textured layered hair. For ladies with thicker locks, a short cut will help remove weight, thus creating more volume at the crown and more body through your lengths.
#21: Soft Shag with Side Bangs for Women Over 50
A soft shag with side bangs is a flattering cut for women over 50. Wispy side bangs on short hair are a great match for aging locks. This is because bangs will help hide any sign of a thinning hairline, and a shorter length will make the rest of your crop appear thicker and fuller.
#22: Wavy Lob with Short Bangs
A wavy lob with short bangs is a universally flattering cut, especially with short feather bangs. A feathered fringe creates a much softer line along the forehead, making this style of bangs more approachable and wearable.
#23: Short Messy Hair with a Fringe

Wispy bangs on short hair are light, thin fringe that gives bobs and pixies a softer look. These bangs are a great addition to spice up your style without committing to a whole new chop.
Haircut expert Marybeth Moran in Conshohocken, PA recommends the look to women with a prominent forehead.
According to Moran, the fringe serves as a face frame while hiding any forehead lines. It softens any haircut and draws attention to women’s eyes.
When cutting thinner bangs, use light tension using a razor. Carve the fringe longer than your preferred length while it’s wet. “You can always take more off after it’s dry,” Moran assures.
Hair texture is a factor to consider. For wavy and curly hair, this chop will require daily blow-drying. Cowlicks can also be a hindrance as you’ll have to smooth them out every day using a heat tool.
Moran loves the wispy fringe on straighter hair for easier maintenance and styling.
Surprisingly, climate can affect the style, too! “Short hair and bangs aren’t ideal during the humid days or if you’re someone who perspires a lot,” Moran states.
