The decision to get bangs can be a major moment in a person’s life. Remember that scene in Legally Blonde when Elle is all bummed out at law school and calls
her sorority sisters to vent, but one of them interrupts and tells her, “I got bangs!” all proudly? It was kind of rude, but I get it, bangs are a big decision for some people, while for others, it’s part of their signature look. Now, if you’re someone who has also made the life-changing jump to fringe, especially after considering them for a while, you’re probably wondering how to style bangs and how to maintain them.
Bangs come in all shapes and sizes. There are Brigitte Bardot–inspired curtain bangs that have been hot for a minute, rightfully so. There are also the classic bang styles, like blunt, straight-across bangs, baby bangs, curly bangs, side bangs (Gen Z be damned), and face-framing bangs. While they all look pretty different, much of the same tips and tools can be applied.
