If you have long doubted whether to make bangs or whether it is still not worth it, it’s time to decide: stylists say that in the coming seasons bangs will become one of the main hairstyle trends. But it is not enough to cut it: it must also be styled beautifully!
Did you know that bangs as an intentional part of the hairstyle (in the sense, specially cut, not short hair growing naturally along the forehead line) was seen as a sign of suffragette protest against the patriarchy? But it was exactly like that. They were inspired by Joan of Arc (remember what she looked like?).
Yes, Jeanne’s semi-masculine haircut was completely unacceptable in a decent society, where men ruled in every way. It was in protest that the first suffragettes cut a lock at the level of the forehead: in front of it resembled the hairstyle of the Virgin of Orleans, but no one could reproach the women for not respecting the standards of decency: formally, the hair remained long.

Only then the bangs became one of the features of the hairstyle.
The starting point can be considered the twenties of the last century and the era of decadence: by the way, these hairstyles are becoming relevant again, have you seen our selection of the best?
Then secular lionesses indistinctly wore a short bob and long thick bangs up to their eyebrows. Then the bangs changed several times: from beautifully curled and laid in waves in the 50s, to (maybe you remember this yourself?) Put “on soap”, “on sugar” or even “on beer” in the 70s, and wound on curlers and laid with a roller – in the 80s … Terrible thing!
And in the 2000s, bangs suddenly fell out of favor: open faces and high foreheads were all the rage, covering up what was considered almost bad shape. However, the music didn’t last long, and in a time when individuality came to the fore rather than following the trend, it would be odd to expect no one to remember such a hair item as bangs. And here it is again among us, in all its historical variations at once. The only option, which, perhaps, is still rare (only for now, we think, to be honest) is very thick dense bangs with a geometric edge that completely hides the forehead. But let’s wait and see.
obliquely to the eyebrow
Slicked back bob and long bangs, styled with a wave across the forehead and ending just above the eyebrow – Rowan Blundchard’s style is beyond praise. Suitable for those with relatively manageable hair, because if you use gel or polish with this styling option, your hair will look like you’re sweating and the bangs are just stuck to your forehead.
With a large hairpin
A chic option to grow bangs or… imitate it. If you’re not ready for drastic measures just yet, simply cut the side strand close to your face as if trying to fix the troublesome curl. A hairpin from Prada, of course, also counts here, but not in terms of price: the main thing is that it is noticeable and massive.
Ultra short and ripped
Even the most minimalist haircuts are better to diversify with bangs, stylists are convinced of this. And as if you (or your five-year-old daughter, while you slept) shortened and thinned your bangs without regaining consciousness. The tighter – the cooler!
glamour
An impeccable light wave – against the background of endless tousled hairstyles, this style looks very unexpected. Comb the bangs down to the lowest possible parting, throwing virtually all the hair to one side. If yours are super chunky, smooth them out a bit. Just a wow effect!
Featuring
This unusual and very beautiful hairstyle actually consists of bangs: only a small number of long strands remain, and everything else is actually bangs. And how interesting!
curly toupee
An interesting option for finely curly hair: leave a few short strands in the middle of the forehead. Such ragged micro bangs, cute and touching.
Classics of the genre
One-sided style and long bangs with high highlights: a bit 90s, but it was meant to be!
Soft index
If your hair is not thick, this is not a reason to refuse the bangs, it is enough to lay it on the side so that only one lock falls on your face.
Straight bangs for curly hair
Funnily enough, this 80s trend is back! Hair – as after “chemistry” (or even after), and the bangs are elongated and well fixed. Yes, a new round of fashion has definitely begun!
Asymmetry and tail
And also a familiar look … We collect the hair in a ponytail, let out a strand near the face, and it’s all smooth, neat and sprayed with varnish.
For an eye
We’re not sure it’s that convenient for walking, but taking pictures is really cool. The main thing is to decide which side of your face “works” and cover the other with long bangs.
Upward movement
Volume along the hairline is back in style, so don’t be afraid to style your bangs on soft curlers set strictly back from your face!
Cascade
Obliquely cut bangs with “steps” will fall on their own, as it should. It will be very effective.
From under the tape
Pull back the bulk of the hair back, secure with a wide headband and release the bangs: okay, simple and sexy!
surf-style
It’s time to get a wet-look hair gel from a distant shelf or run for a new one: glossy wet locks that come out as if tousled in the wind are a real hit.
