Textured Bangs
 
Longer or shorter textured bangs are the most popular shapes. This is no wonder since the choppy, slightly messy look goes perfectly with modern hairstyles that have layers and the stylish done and undone look. The feathery look with little gaps in between is light and playful and does not create a harsh outline.
 
This is why textured bangs are so gentle with all face shapes and work for all ages as the extra texture in the hair, the movement that comes with it and their softness can also diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in the face.
 
Women who prefer textured bangs are free-spirited and fun-loving, taking life from a lighter perspective. They don't want to spend hours getting their hair ready and are big fans of wash-and-go looks. They love choppy bangs for their effortless chic with a natural feel.
 
In the wardrobe of a woman with textured bangs, you will find faded jeans and hiking boots, but also the little black dress and a wide, eclectic range of clothes for every mood and every occasion.
 
Center-Parted Long Bangs
 
What used to be a signature singer-songwriter look has become Hollywood hot. Check out pictures from the latest Coachella, Burning Man, and other festivals, and you will see an abundance of the neo-hippy-chic look, with or without headbands, giant earrings, and all the flower power that comes with it.

The simple, long, straight hair with long bangs falling to both sides captures every little breeze and sways along with every move. This look is attractive and carefree. It can be mixed up with little accent braids and also lends itself to loose updos with seductive long strands falling out on the sides of the face.
 
Side-Parted Bangs
 
If you want to add some stylish asymmetry to your style, you can still keep the same length of hair all around, but a side part and side-swept bangs can do the trick. Many short hairstyles that are based on masculine cuts feature this dynamic design.
 
Side bangs can be very androgynous but with a little more length they express feminine finesse. Depending on the connected cut and outfit, side-parted bangs cover a wide range between geeky and gorgeous. You can dress them up or down, make them look young or mature, and wear them with or without texture.

Asymmetrically cut bangs with a short start and a generous end belong to the same family but have a little bit more determination as the shape is set with the cut. There is no turn around with this look. These bangs are a great accent with modern, edgy, and asymmetrical cuts and speak of a bold personality with a daring soul and the desire to lift themselves out of the conventional crowd.
 
Fluffy Bangs
 
The teased and starched fluffy high bangs hover almost weightlessly in the air over the forehead, which is revealed except for some stray strands prone to gravity and the shadow of the rest. But that is about the only magic shed by these remnants of the 1980s which ask to be worn with leggings, leg warmers, and the short, shoulder-padded jacket.

Die-hard fans of the decade may still be seen with this challenging adornment, but unless you still hum the forever mall rat song "I Think We're Alone Now" and smooth your lips with a roll-on strawberry lip gloss, you should consider any of the other options.
 
The length and shape of bangs can alter one's appearance. Before making a decision on how to cut your bangs, try on different shapes by lifting and arranging your hair before the scissors of certainty will make their cut. Consult with your hairstylist and pick a style that fits your personality and lifestyle.
