BANGS ARE BACK (AGAIN): HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT STYLE
Pro Tip: Match your bang style with your face shape and lifestyle.
Trends may come and go, but bangs always find their way back into the spotlight—and 2025 is no exception. From red carpets to TikTok transformations, bangs are stealing the show in all forms: curtain, blunt, wispy, micro, and everything in between.
If you’re tempted to take the plunge (or the snip), you’re not alone. But before you commit, it’s important to pick a bang style that works for you—your face shape, hair texture, and how much time you want to spend styling.
At Salon 37, we’re seeing more and more clients ask, “Should I get bangs?” Here’s what to consider before you say yes to the fringe.
Why Bangs Are the Ultimate Hair Refresh
Bangs are a game-changer. They can completely transform your look without sacrificing length, and they’re perfect if you’re craving a change but not ready for a full haircut.
Whether you’re looking for a soft frame around your face, a bold fashion statement, or a touch of effortless cool, there’s a bang style out there that can match your vibe and your daily routine.
What Bang Style Is Right for You?
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to fringe. Here’s a breakdown of the most popular bang types and who they work best for:
1. Curtain Bangs
- Best for: Most face shapes, especially round or oval
- Why we love them: These part-in-the-middle bangs are low-maintenance, soft, and grow out beautifully. They instantly add shape and volume around the face. Bonus: they blend seamlessly into longer layers.
2. Blunt Bangs
- Best for: Oval or long face shapes with straight or slightly wavy hair
- Why we love them: These full, straight-across bangs make a bold statement and highlight the eyes. They require more maintenance (hello, trims every 3-4 weeks), but the payoff is dramatic and editorial.
3. Wispy Bangs
- Best for: Smaller foreheads, finer hair, or first-timers
- Why we love them: Light and airy, wispy bangs are soft and feminine. They’re easy to style and grow out quickly—perfect if you’re unsure about a major bang commitment.
4. Micro Bangs (Baby Bangs)
- Best for: Oval or heart-shaped faces with a love for edgy looks
- Why we love them: These short, fashion-forward bangs sit well above the brow and create a strong, artistic vibe. Not for the faint of heart, but incredibly chic when done right.
Things to Consider Before Cutting Bangs
- Your Hair Texture: Curly and coily hair types can absolutely rock bangs—but they do require more styling attention. Talk with your stylist about shaping and shrinkage.
- Your Styling Habits: Do you love to style your hair daily? Or are you more of a wash-and-go person? Choose a bang style that fits your lifestyle.
- Your Growth Plan: Bangs grow fast but can feel awkward during the in-between stages. Our stylists can guide you on how to shape them as they grow.
And remember…
Dry Shampoo = Bangs’ Best Friend
If there’s one product bang-lovers swear by, it’s dry shampoo. It keeps your fringe fresh between washes, controls oil, and adds volume—especially if your bangs tend to separate or lie flat.
