She bangs, she bangs! Feel like getting a hairstyle transformation that’s not too drastic? Add fringe! Blunt, sideswept, baby, bubble, asymmetrical or choppy – there’s a fringe that’s built for every face shape and hair texture!
Bangs can take years of your face, hide blemishes and make your cut edgier or softer. Women’s love affair with bangs dates back in the early 1900’s. This simple part of a coif has become a trademark of some of the most amazing women that walked the face of the earth. Louise Brooks’ flapper bob with blunt bangs was an eponymous cut that was copied by many women as well as Bettie Page’s V-shaped bangs that’s curled inwards. Layered mid-forehead bangs made Audrey Hepburn’s gamine cut extra sharp.
Are you ready to rock a fringe? Check out the best fringe that’s right for you from our extensive list below!

Sami Gayle shows us that super short crop can be ultra girly-girl too! Her pixie dittoes Mia Farrow’s infamous cut except for the longer fringe. It’s top-heavy; but the soft, wispy layers make it more effeminate than gamine. We love the feathered sides that sweetly hug her cheekbones.

We don’t know if this cool short shag is inspired by Gwyneth Paltrow’s ‘Sliding Doors’ pixie back in the late 90’s because the cut is far too similar. Whatever. The most important thing is that it looks great (enviable even) on Jennifer Lawrence! Upper half of the back is given a good body with subtle layering all the way to the nape. The short wispy hairs at the crown help shape the angular effect of the haircut further. Women with naturally fine hair can pull off this style with ease. Avoid this haircut if your jawline is wider than your forehead.

We’re not gonna apologize about how much we adore (as seen here, here and here) Jennifer Lawrence’s pixie. Can you blame us? JLaw opted for a sleek version of her beautiful mane when she arrived at the premiere of ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ in Paris, France. For a silky and sleek finish, go for a hairstyle product that’s lightweight, non-greasy and with a conditioning effect such as ALTERNA’s Caviar Anti-Aging Blowout Crème Ultra-Straight & Smooth.

Versatility, thy name is JLaw’s pixie! She’s been hitting us with ways on how to rock that chic crop as of late and we are paying attention. We don’t know if we love this pompadour version of her short cut better than this ferocious style. Decisions, decisions!
How-To: Apply mousse on damp hair then blow dry hair. Do a side part before blow drying bangs using a large round brush. Roll the brush away from your face as you go while lifting the roots for volume. Apply hairspray and lift the bangs some more using your fingers then sleek out the sides.
