Straight hair with bangs creates simple yet sleek and beautiful hairstyles. It’s a practical look for women who appreciate convenience. The fringe helps to frame the face and contribute shape to the hairstyle as a whole.
Keep these tips from UK-based hairstylist and color technician Kelly Townsend in mind if you’re thinking about trying this style.
Key Things to Know First
- Start with longer bangs and gradually go shorter. You can always cut more, but you can’t add it back once it’s gone.
- Avoid going too short. The ideal length is around nose length for “style-ability.”
- Consult a professional and ask questions like, “How do I style this? Will my bangs sit properly?”
- Bangs aren’t for everyone. This look may not be suitable if:
- You lead a very active lifestyle.
- You’re not prepared to do the minimum required for styling them.
- You have a hairline with “character,” such as cowlicks, widow’s peaks, etc.
