When we think of bangs, we always think of the middle part bangs first. They have been so popular for decades. Some might love them, others might hate them – but they are, and always will be, a bold fashion statement. If you are among the middle part bangs lovers, you will enjoy these 30 gorgeous hairstyle ideas, as well as tips on how to cut them and style them properly.
How to Cut Middle Part Bangs
Step 1: If your hair is straight, dampening your hair could be helpful. However, if your hair is naturally curly, it is best to leave it dry.
Step 2: Part your hair in the middle. Then decide how wide you want your bangs to be and once you take the bangs section into your hand, you’ll notice that a triangular shape has formed. Make sure that the triangle is symmetrical.
Step 3: Separate the rest of the hair from the bangs by tying it into a ponytail.
Step 4: The rest depends on the style of bangs you’re going for. If you’re going for shorter bangs, try to make them as straight as possible, and if the bangs go below your eyebrows or eyes cut them diagonally.
Step 5: Blow-dry and style your bangs. Check if there are some strands that need fixing.

How to Style Middle Part Bangs for Round Face
Middle part bangs don’t always suit a round face and that is why styling them could be tricky. But if you have a round-shaped face and really want to make the middle part bangs work for you, here are a few tips:
Tip 1: Use thinning scissors: Layering your bangs is key here. They need to be a little bit messy in order to work.
Tip 2: Don’t cut them in a crescent shape, as that will only emphasize the shape of your face even more.
Tip 3: Don’t make them too thick as that won’t compliment your soft features.

Frequently Asked Questions
Curtain bangs got their name because they frame your face like an elegant curtain. Unlike blunt bangs, these bangs are a bit longer and part down the middle, starting at your scalp’s frontline.

As you blow-dry, twist the brush through your bangs to the ends. Finally, feather your bangs and style the rest of your hair.
These bangs are adaptable enough for any hair length, long, medium, or short. People with short hair can add shape and dimension with these, while long-haired people can balance the length by drawing attention to their eyes.
The oval face shape is considered to be the perfect face shape for almost any hairstyle, and middle part bangs are no exception to this rule. However, if cut and styled properly, other face shapes can look great with the middle part bangs as well.
If the parted bangs are layered or cut in a crescent shape, they can complement the square-shaped face really nicely, softening its harshness really nicely.
For heart-shaped faces, it is important to either leave the bangs a bit longer so that you can part them in the middle entirely or at least to leave them a bit longer on the sides so that the forehead would appear less wide.
This depends mostly on how short we’re talking about. It would be really hard, and it would require a lot of hair products to part in short bangs anywhere. It would also look unnatural and probably not so flattering. However, short bangs could, of course, look beautiful if the rest of the hair behind it was parted in the middle.
