Should I get bangs? What do we think about bangs? Bangs?! – said every girl, ever.  Before you commit to the cut, here are some inspirational images to help you find that fantastic fringe.

1.  The Side Swipe

The easiest of the fringes to pull off, and without a doubt the most popular, the side swipe bang leaves your hair looking effortlessly windblown and hassle free.  Exhibited by the likes of Cameron Diaz and Reese Witherspoon, this style will ease you into the big commitment.

 

 

 

2.  Peek-a-Boo

Perfected by film-actress/pin-up model Veronica Lake, the peek-a-boo fringe is (you guessed it) just what it sounds like! Keep the length of the bang fairly long and sweep it over one side.  You’ll be sure to catch everyone’s eye, even if you can’t quite see out of yours!

 

 

 

3.  Straight Across

This fringe requires unwavering commitment, but it is a sure fire show stopper.  Ashley Olsen and Jessica Alba do it best, just cut bluntly across and comb straight or flat iron for the most precision.  A variation is modelled by French actress Francoise Hardy, just grow them out a touch and sweep to the sides from the middle for a look of piece-y perfection.

 

 

 

4.  The Pixie

Everyone loves Audrey, who sported the quintessential pixie bang.  Cut equidistant from the brows to the hairline to achieve this vintage fringe.  Wanting a modern version? Think Emma Watson in “My Week With Marilyn”.

 

 

 

5.  Curved

This fabulous fringe is flaunted by Heidi Klum and Hilary Duff. Similar to the blunt bang, this style waterfalls into the rest of your hair creating a curved look framing your beautiful face.

 

 

 

Now you’ll be guaranteed to be bang-in from *H2T*.
