Bold graphic bangs that set the trend.
Have you ever wondered why so many fashion icons gravitate toward graphic bangs? Extremely photogenic and with meticulous attention to detail, hairstyles with blunt bangs instantly make a bold fashion statement.
They definitely are a drastic change to your hairstyle. To adopt this transition, browse our compilation of the trendiest blunt fringe styles to pin your favorites.
Blunt bobs go with a corresponding fringe like mac and cheese. That’s a classic combo that will never go out of style. This look features thick, eyebrow-length bangs that are slightly textured at the ends for added airiness.

A hime cut thrives on blunt lines, multiple layers, and clear angles. An eye-grazing fringe and shorter side layers that end at the lip length beautifully complement a shoulder-length hime cut. Mind that such a haircut needs a lot of upkeep – you’ll have to frequently trim the side locks and front pieces to keep it looking its best.

Thick hair best suits straight-across bangs, giving them a fabulously solid, full appearance. The extra volume helps them to lie in place, making it easier for fantastic definition. These bangs look sleek, polished, and deliver a striking impact.

It’s more common to see a pixie cut with choppy, asymmetrical, or side-swept bangs. But the straight-across options are truly unique, lending this haircut a very independent and intellectual flair.
@ulikaucic
The contrast between the slightly tousled wispy waves and a straight fringe is what makes this hairstyle catch the eye. It’s a perfect option for wavy hair types that are straighter at the root or if you are growing out a perm.
@janni_formyhair
Long loose waves visually pull your face down. For oblong faces, this effect may be unflattering. In this case, the short, accurate bangs bring the sought-after balance to the face.
@yukistylist
The straight baby bangs with curly hair look absolutely striking! They might need a little extra maintenance, though. Get yourself a high-quality flat iron with ½” or 1” wide plates and don’t skip heat protection before styling. A good frizz-control cream and regular trims will keep your bangs smooth and even.
@galefontenele
Well-cut bangs can become your ultimate beach accessory. They look good with beachy waves worn down, in a high pony, or a messy updo. Wash your bangs separately on non-wash days to keep them from getting greasy.
@glorified.hair
A clear graphic line created by the bangs draws attention to the eyes and eyebrows. It’s a great way to add balance to small, narrow faces. The combination of the smooth frontal bangs and choppy, tousled layers creates a fun and spunky look.
@caithelle_hair
Add sugar and spice to the traditional ‘90s blowout hairstyle. The blunt fringe adds a sweet, innocent note to this dynamic layered look. It also effectively conceals a high forehead, if you are not into no-bangs haircuts that open up the face too much.
@corazonsagrado_
The thickness and fullness of the bangs in this hairstyle add volume and enhance the multi-dimensional effect of the ombre colors. The more sculpted shape of the bangs creates a contrast with the softer, more blended look of the long layered locks resulting in a very cohesive hairstyle.
@houseofjude.hair
Close your eyes and imagine this haircut without the bangs. Feels very ordinary, doesn’t it? With the bangs, a long straight bob gains a new dimension. Its deep dark shade and the lines cut with geometric precision remind us of iconic hairstylists, like Vidal Sassoon.
@hairby_rachelgriffith
Shags are typically paired with shaggy bangs. But if you want to give your long shag a fresh spin, try pairing it with a crisp, somewhat rounded fringe. This technique will give your face more definition.
@andy_doesyourhair
Blunt, boxy cuts create the illusion of thicker locks by making the ends look denser and fuller. With fewer layers, your hair will seem more uniform and substantial. Dimensional shadow roots boost this effect even further.
@jordansaab
Inverted bobs look amazing with bangs! The longer front strands paired with eyebrow-skimming bangs beautifully frame the face. A tousled finish is both charming and low-maintenance. It lends itself well to air drying. All you need to do is blow-dry the bangs for a polished feel.
@sabrayna_
Playing with the length of your bob cut and your bangs is a wonderful approach to personalizing your cut. Neck-length bobs hit the right spot between style and ease of maintenance. Overgrown bangs that caress your cheekbones add an enigmatic touch to the look.
@iam.tiffany.renee
Just like getting bangs, carving layers into your haircut can liven it up. A full, soft fringe adds definition to the eyebrows and the layers highlight the natural curl pattern of this charming hairstyle.
@celladiggshair
This short bob with light bangs reminds us of Natalie Portman’s look circa Léon: The Professional era. But it’s not only apt for cosplays. This chic haircut is polished enough for conferences or formal dinners.
@williammleite
When you’re over the layers and want a fresh start, a sleek cut with baby bangs could be just the style you are looking for. It’s clean and simple and would perfectly fit into the minimalistic aesthetic.

To recreate this dreamy texture, use a texturizing spray on damp hair, then blow-dry with a diffuser for added volume. Use a flat iron to smooth the bangs and define the shaggy layers. Finish with a bit of hair wax for a tousled look.
@joeprofita
Slicked-back updos might sometimes feel too “done” and over the edge. With bangs, they get a more balanced look. Bangs frame the face and contrast nicely with the softness of an updo.
@eloisasalonco
A bold temple undercut of this hairstyle widens the baseline of the fringe, which might come in handy for a long, narrow face. It also beautifully displays exclusive earrings. Want a more muted look? Simply untuck the face-framing strands to cover the undercut.

Bangs are nothing but a striking addition to any hairstyle, giving it a well-groomed, fashionable feel. If the time has come for you to get on board, let these stylish options inspire your next transformation.
