#1: Cherry Cola Long Hair

You can have long hair with a cherry cola color. Sometimes, long hair needs shaping. I suggest a light, wispy bang that you can curl up, sweep to the side, or let hang in front of your eyes. A cherry cola red adds a striking color to naturally dark hair.

#2: Light Brown Long Hair with Thin Bangs

Ask for light brown long hair with thin bangs during your next appointment. When you make bangs wispy, it creates softness around the face instead of harsh and blunt. If you care about keeping length, but your hair feels heavy, ask for de-bulking or thinning out. It will help make your hair more manageable.

Consider adding a brunette balayage to your long hair if you’re looking to take your hair up a notch. Even the wispiest pieces of balayage can elevate your color. Pulling all your hair in front of your shoulders, then adding lighter pieces, allows you to see the lightness in the way you wear your hair. If you’re needing to wear your hair a different way, have your stylist add lightness for that style too.

Wispy bangs for long hair are the thinner version of bangs that adds style to longer-length cuts. These are great when wanting to create softness around the face.

Salon owner Josh Lubin from Chicago, IL recommends a wispy fringe to frame the face. “Just choose what part of your face you want to highlight and have your bangs cut to open up that spot,” he states.

Both wispy and trendy curtain bangs are all about movement. The key is to create the correct texture to cause the bangs to open up and move off the face.

Face shape and lifestyle are vital aspects to consider when getting a fringe.

“For round faces, choose a longer, wispier fringe. For long or narrow faces, keep it a bit shorter and fuller to add some width to the face,” Lubin suggests.

If you blow-dry and heat-style your locks every morning, wear shorter and fuller curtain bangs. If you air-dry your hair, get the long and wispy kind.

A soft, wispy fringe works like magic on straight and wavy locks. It can be challenging to maintain a curly hair type, so long face-framing layers are a great option, too!
