Now, before you scoff at me, you need to accept that bangs are not a style fit for just your daughters. Even though the cut has a bad rep for looking too playful, innocent and childish, lately Hollywood style icons have been flaunting their fringe, only proving that this haute look is spot-on at any age.
I think a woman with bangs looks sexy, confident and bold -- and a definite do for every face shape. Fringe is in, folks!

Wispy Bangs
Here's the trick with bangs that are wispy: they can double as side bangs or full-on bangs, depending on how you feel. But the look is best if you let 'em loose as is. Resting just at your eyelashes, they're mysterious and sexy.

Side-Swept Bangs
Side-swept bangs give the illusion that your forehead is longer than it actually is. So to all your teeny foreheaded folks, bangs can be yours, too! By tucking them to a side, it takes your hairline further back and makes your locks look thicker. Cha-ching!

Bangs are also notorious for minimizing forehead size -- and these longer frays do the job. If you've got long, straight locks, bangs help to break up the lengths and maintain your natural face shape.

Side Bangs
Ah, my fave. I love side bangs -- they go with the natural part of your hair and break up the angles and layers. Plus they're super easy to style. They're like the most non-committed version of bangs out there and pair well with straight or curly locks.
Do you have bangs? Would you get bangs?
