One of the biggest takeaways from 2018 is hair bangs, mid-length hair, bob cuts, and accessories to pull back your hair. Getting yourself a new set of blunt or soft eyebrow grazing bangs can dramatically change the way you look. But they’re exactly not what you call a low-maintenance change.
You may have to schedule regular trims and spend few minutes taming flyaways daily. Still, several celebrities are switching their look with these fresh new cuts. There are a handful of bang ideas you can choose from, to stand out from all the other style options. From curtain bangs, to choppy micro bangs, there is no stopping the bang trends you’ll notice on everyone this year.
Check ahead For The Top Hair Styles and Cuts That Will Rule in 2019:
1. Micro Bangs:
According to the latest celeb red carpet look, bangs that graze eyebrows seem so last year. Many of our celebs, including Emma Watson and Emma Roberts have recently debuted short, choppy, micro bangs. “I think micro-bangs are having a moment because they are chic and look edgy, without having to cut off your whole hair short.
If you are ready to take on this hairdo and experiment with the trend, then you can first test using clip-on-fringe. When you’re ready to go for the real thing, and then remember the hairdo is all about the length rather than how long the section will be. For instance, if you have a narrow forehead, then you can extend the section for creating width.
2. Curtain Bangs:
Many girls today are researching for Dakota Johnson’s or Camila Cabello bangs on Pinterest and other mediums. Since this long fringe style is extremely flattering for all face shapes, girls love it. Also, it can be experimented on any haircut or hair length. Certain bangs are more suited to split down the center as this look works on women with fine to medium hair, wanting to disguise the long forehead. Or, this hairdo works on someone with inverted triangle or square-shaped face. The curtain bangs are a low commitment look, which means you need them one day and pin them away, the next.
3. Full and Piecey Bangs:
Full, piecey bangs are the natural haircut from classic blunt finish. You can texturizer the bangs to hide the bluntness and create a sharp edgy look. This can add a lot of drama for hiding plain bangs. As seen on Chrissy Teigen, the full and piecey bangs are extremely versatile to carry and work well on fine or thick hair that is both straight and wavy.
4. Curly Bangs:
Bangs may not seem suitable and hard to style for naturally curly bangs. But you can actually work the look by taking care of your texture rather than pulling off bangs. Take cue from Rita and Zendaya. Their curly bangs highlight their best features and create dimension to their natural curls. If you are going for curly bangs, then you should make sure to keep it soft and wispy.
This can ensure the hair density dictates how deep the hair section can get so you don’t want to create a clump of heavy curls on your forehead. For this reason, we highly recommend oval, square, and triangle face shapes.
5. Baby Bangs:
Hair bangs that brushes against your eyebrows are so last year. An indication from red carpet look is enough to solidify the reason.

It’s an edgy hairstyle, but soft at the same time.

You necessarily do not have to cut off your hair to try the bangs. Emma Robert’s hairstylist Nikki Lee made use of a hair piece to fake the cut at the Critic’s Choice Awards.
