Hair Bangs If you are looking for a quick update to your hairstyle, why not try adding bangs?  Bangs are the quickest and easiest way to update your hair style today, not to mention they are quite popular. The different types of bangs include: side swept bangs, fringe bangs, choppy bangs, short bangs, long bangs, layered bangs and the not really bangs.  See below and right for examples of these bangs and follow links to more photos of bangs.  Note, all links on this page will open in a new browser so that you can remain on this page. SIDE SWEPT BANGS Probably the most popular type of bang is the side swept bang.  These bangs are cut long enough so that they can be swept to the side, just brushing across the eyes. See photo left, the bangs swoop across the forehead from a deep side part, just covering part of one eye. You will need to use some hair care products to keep the hair in this position.

Brooke Burns, see photo left, has styled her long bangs to go under and they are also slightly side swept. She also has a few longer wispy strands off to the side of the face for soft framing.

FRINGE BANGS   The fringe or wispy bang is just a hint of bangs.  If you are uncertain about which bangs to get, this type of bangs will be the first one to start with.  If you don't like the look, you can always style the fringe pieces in with your longer hair using hair products.  They won't require a huge committment like a full bang.
