We are drawn to the stunning texture and movement this shaggy cut gives to long hair, either straight or wavy! As stylists commonly pair shag with choppy bangs, we reckon combining it with short blunt bangs instead will be a good move worthy of a true fashionista.
This dreamy, undone bob hairstyle exudes Parisian chic along with some daring edginess that spices up your appearance. Style it with a texturizing spray to accentuate those choppy layers. Additionally, define the front pieces with a pea-sized amount of hair cream or pomade for a nice face-framing effect.

Your long, thick locks can definitely benefit from subtle layers and long curtain bangs. Without risking your hair length and thickness, you’ll get a significant transformation that makes your chic tresses the focal point of your look.

Curly bangs may not be the most easy-to-maintain fringe style, but if you know how to manage your curls, you’ll get the desired look easily. The secret is in regular hair moisturizing that allows you to get rid of any frizz. Then, the case for small — blow-dry your curls with a diffuser, applying the curl defining creme to shape the bangs to your liking.
@garbanuklinika
This combination of a short bob and long bangs is absolutely stunning! Make the fringe and overall hair extra smooth by straightening them with a flat iron and fixing the result with a hairspray for added staying power.

If you enjoy the sleekness of your hair but wish to add some texture and movement, we suggest trying this pretty style. Long curtain bangs will help you enhance the body around the face; trimmed and curled ends bring the dynamics that straight hair types often lack.

Here’s another gorgeous bob you can try to restyle your hair and reinvent yourself. Inspired by the 90s, this haircut features gradual layers, narrowing to the chin, and trendy curtain bangs that create a face-framing effect.

Thicker side-swept bangs are a desired fringe style for both heart- and oval-shaped faces. But you can ask for a versatile fringe that can be both swept to the side and parted in the middle.
@colourandlashprof
A long, wispy fringe that smoothly transitions into the face-framing layers is key to making your longer hair more manageable without compromising its length. Another advantage of this haircut is that you can easily collect your locks in an updo, leaving the bangs to accentuate your features.
@hairnbee
This neck-length blunt cut with slightly flipped ends wouldn’t look as cute and unique without the short, feathered bangs. A shorter fringe adds Parisian flair to the bob, making it look extremely stylish and captivating.
