But, when executed properly, bangs can make a beautiful statement.

Perhaps the hardest throw in of bangs to grow accustomed to, though, is blunt bangs.

The extra-long fringe is a nice change-up from her usual go-to look.

In conclusion, the woman simply looks amazing with bangs.

But when left out in an updo, they help soften the dissonance.

“This style can be universal, and has a bit more playfulness and versatility to it.”

Short bangs are essentially a frame for killer brows, so why not draw all the attention to them?

To style, Williams suggests using a smoothing cream such as Oribe’s Straightaway Smoothing Blowout Cream before blow-drying.

Then, go in with a flat iron.

“This style can be recreated by using Oribe’s Supershine Cream in damp hair,” says Vidov.

Then, finish off with a spritz of lightweight hairspray, like Oribe’s Superfine Hairspray.

Those with oval or longer faces can cut their bangs to hit right at the eyebrow or slightly lower.

Blunt bangs are often cut right at your eyebrows, while blunt curtain bangs can be cut slightly longer.
