Ladies, we’ve all been there. You look in the mirror at your tired strands and think “Damn, I need to shake up my hairstyle somehow!” Luckily for us all, there is a simple way to give yourself a new style without having to get a completely new cut.
Wispy bangs aren’t a huge commitment but they will help you with a mini makeover. And, let’s be honest, sometimes, that’s all you need!
The Best Hairstyles with Wispy Bangs
Despite what you may have heard, there are types of wispy bangs that suit pretty much any person out there. Whether you have strong, bold facial features or even an angelic appearance, you can certainly find a fringe that is complimentary. Here are some inspirational images to help you along the way.
1. Soft Wispy Fringe
Shaggy layers and wispy bangs are everything you need to look feminine and delicate. A perfect shape for finer hair, this hairstyle would draw attention to your eyes and suit most of the face shapes.
2. Long Wavy Hair and Full Wispy Bangs
We know that a full fringe can look way too heavy and overwhelming. If you fancy cutting bangs, start with a finer, wispier layer of hair. Go for a more lightweight, textured shape for a modern, sassy look.
3. Dirty Blonde Curtain Fringe
Long, outgrown-looking fringe is one of the sharpest trends of the current season. This type of bangs would require some effort to maintain, so be prepared for regular salon appointments as well as spending some time to style it every morning.
4. See Through Wispy Bangs
Subtle, see-through bangs look edgy and give you a serious 90s’ vibe. This side-swept fringe shape gives your face some framing without visually chopping off the top part of your face. If you have a round face and it puts you off from having a fringe, try out this look.
5. Light Eyebrow-Skimming Bangs
One of the major problems that many women have when they first get bangs is the fact that they can seem limp. Blowdry with a round brush to gain the volume you need and the right shape in an instant. It is a classic, office-ready hairstyle.
6. Shag with Wispy Fringe
Ask your stylist to blend your full fringe with the rest of the hair by adding some layers. As a result, you’ll get a modern textured shag cut boasting plenty of body and movement. Add some waves for a going out look.
7. Medium Length Hair with Curtain Bangs
Wispy bangs are a great way to elevate your hairstyle without making a drastic change. Stick with your regular cut leaving the rest of your hair long and add some face framing with textured curtain bangs. Use a round brush and a hairdryer to blow dry your hair. Add some waves with a wide curling tong.
8. Point Cut Arched Bangs
For a heart shaped face, you will want to go for a medium or even short haircut. Remember, you can pair the style with some cute bangs. A short, disconnected fringe with point cut ends can look simply wonderful.
