If you’re looking for a change but already love your hairstyle, fringe is a quick and easy way to transform your entire look. Fringe, a.k.a bangs, has come a long way from the straight-across version most of us remember as kids. Now, with more versions than Taylor Swift Grammy wins, there’s a fringe shape for everyone. Read on to discover more about a few of our favorite fringe trends for spring 2024 and how to style them!
2024’s Top Bang Trends
Curtain Bangs
From Sydney Sweeney to Selena Gomez — when it comes to a universally flattering fringe shape, curtain bangs are the winner. In addition to being completely customizable based on your hair and texture type, curtain bangs can vary in length and density to work with your lifestyle as well. They are defined by their ability to frame the face with a soft sweeping finish that requires some styling but is still on the low-maintenance spectrum. For best results, invest in a round brush and a professional blow dryer to enhance movement and bounce.
The Top Tool Picks:
See-Through or Wispy Bangs
This bang trend is subtle, but still adds a dash of flirtation to any style. The look can be created on all hair types and textures, and can even be worn curly for a natural finish. The look is loved thanks to its peek-a-boo quality and minimal upkeep. We love this look with a smoother finish, but they can easily be clipped up on days when you don’t have time to style. On days when you are wearing them down, rough drying with your blow dryer and then touch them up with a flat iron if needed.
The Top Tool Picks:
Side-Swept Bangs
Serving up some seriously ’00 inspiration this year, Taylor Swift is officially bringing back the side-swept bangs. #sideswift. She has worn this style in the past, but recently, at the Grammys and Super Bowl, we’ve seen a more obvious shift to highlight the swooping finish. Described as being shorter at the front section and then transitioning to a longer layer before being swooped to the side when styling, this look does require maintenance and regular styling. For best results utilize a round brush and professional blow dryer to add volume and then flick the ends to the side to create the swoop. Rotate between a larger round brush to add volume and then a smaller circumference to achieve the control needed to flick the ends.
The Top Tool Picks:
Baby Bangs
As grunge and goth-core start to trend again, we’ve seen a resurgence in the baby bang trend — but this time with a fun, modern twist. The shorter length adds interest to any haircut and is beautiful when paired with wispy layers or a more structured cut, like a bob. Unless you have naturally straight hair, this trend will require an intermediate level of styling daily. To style, hair should be blow-dried with a fine tooth comb to add movement and minimal volume. From here, it should be straightened with a flat iron to lie more flat on the forehead.
