In 2024, bangs hairstyles are again skyrocketing the trends, and there is a specific type of fringe that all celebrities and supermodels will have on the red carpet: curtain bangs.
One of the biggest perks about these bangs is that they’re low maintenance. They’re also ideal for women with long foreheads. Another type of fringe you’ll see in 2024 is long bangs covering the forehead and eyebrows.
There are so many hairstyles that work with a fringe, from short cuts like pixie hairstyles to long glossy hair that falls down your back.
Types of Bangs
Okay, so you’ve decided to try bangs, but what kind? Not all bangs are equal, there are different types, such as:
- Micro or baby bangs – roughly-chopped bangs sitting an inch or higher above your eyebrows
- Wispy bangs – long, face-trimming bangs
- Curtain bangs – long, face-trimming bangs separating in the middle
- Side bangs – long bangs, side-swept layers
- Blunt bangs – heavy, straight strands of hair grazing the eyebrows
- Curly bangs – choppy bangs, curly brow-grazing layers
- Asymmetrical bangs – hair normally comes from the top of your head and is cut so strands finish asymmetrically
- Arched bangs – similar to blunt bangs, but cut straight across the forehead; arch-shaped and follow the face curve
- Bottleneck bangs – shorter straight hair falls down on the parted center, frames the forehead
Bangs for Different Face Shape
Before you get inspired by hairstyles with bangs, it’s useful to learn what types of fringe are suitable for specific face shapes. That way, you’ll get the most out of your hairstyle. If you have a round face, go for thick, side-swept bangs cut at a strong angle. Women and girls with round faces should avoid straight bangs.
If you have an oval face, consider yourself lucky because you can rock just about any type of bangs and look fantastic. On the other hand, girls with square faces look best with long and heavy bangs pushed to the side or parted down the middle. Short bangs are a no-no.
Women with long faces and high foreheads should go for longer bangs or a choppy style. Avoid micro or baby bangs. Heart-shaped faces call for layered side bangs. If you have a heart-shaped face, you may want to avoid full-fringe bangs.

Once you’ve considered things like face shape and hair texture, there are a few other things to keep in mind before getting bangs. Perhaps the most important thing to remember is that bangs will be the shortest hair on your head.
Growing them out takes quite a while; for some, it can take several years. Make sure you’re committed to the style and have a good stylist before making the cut.
Let’s say you have bangs and are wondering when you can expect them to grow out. Generally speaking, it depends on the length and thickness of your bangs.
Of course, it also depends on the hairstyle and how long it usually takes for your hair to grow. In most cases, you can expect your bangs to grow in three to four months.
Almost any face shape can look good with bangs if they choose the right style. A stylist can determine what bangs will bring out your eyes and frame your face best. In general, bangs should help create the illusion of having an oval face.
People use these words interchangeably, which is acceptable, but bangs are usually a little longer and include more than one length. For example, bangs might be longer on one side of the face than the other, whereas fringe is usually cut straight across.
Yes, women of any age can enjoy bangs. The most important thing is to pick a style that suits her face and hair. If the hair is starting to thin, she can choose a wispy, asymmetrical style. Plus, bangs are great for covering up fine lines and wrinkles across the forehead.

No. Layered bangs are, basically, wispy bangs that melt into long, face-framing layers in a seamless manner. These bangs aren’t formed in a straight line, some strands are longer than others, and they’re usually swept to the sides.
On the flip side, choppy bangs are formed by a technique called point cutting which involves trimming the bangs at different angles to form a “V” shape. At the end of the hair, uneven points are created. While both hairstyles are a tad asymmetrical, they’re not the same.
Yes! When it comes to bangs hair, it’s a common misconception that it’s only reserved for women with straight hair. Not true! You can even try bangs with long curly hair. You can either iron them or let your curls loose for a super cute effect.
