Thought you could never commit to fringe because of your curly locks? You’re in luck! Curly bangs are a huge trend at the moment—minimal maintenance required. To achieve the playful look, simply style your natural curls or waves just as you normally would, then apply a small amount of mousse or curl cream to your bangs and gently scrunch the ends to achieve maximum volume and lift.

Dread the inevitable growing-out phase that comes with bangs? We’ve got good news for you: Curtain bangs, aka the effect you create when you have to part your bangs down the center because they are too long, is a top trend this season. That’s right, people are sporting the peekaboo look on purpose, meaning you get to test-drive a cute set of bangs, then embrace the trendy style as you wait for them to grow out.

Baby Bangs

Perfect for playing up a bob or pixie cut, baby bangs add a cool, modern edge to any cut or hair color. But don’t be fooled—baby bangs are anything but low-maintenance. If you have natural texture, you’ll have to whip out the flat-iron on a daily basis to maintain that sleek and smooth look. Plus, regular trims every 2-3 weeks are required to maintain the blunt edges.
