Fashion statistics alter so fast, and it becomes tough to track what’s in style and what works for your face shape. Curious to see what bangs are trending in 2025, and how they work with different hair textures and face shapes? Let’s find out!
What Are Bangs?
Bangs are the parts of hair covering your forehead. There are numerous ways to trim them to suit your face shape and accentuate features.
The hairstyles with bangs making headlines in 2025
Here is a rundown of the latest bangs to cut in 2025, with descriptions of each to help you make your styling choice!
Effortless French Bangs
These bangs are full but slightly piece-y and may angle a bit at the sides. They usually go beyond the brows and highlight the eyes and cheekbones.
Light Thin Bangs
Shaves that capture the face softly. Try to keep some volume so they don´ t look flat or skinny.
Curly Bangs
Bangs add a playful texture to curly hair, bringing out the natural bounce of chin-length cuts while framing the face. These can be cut to complement any face shape: straight across to give a wider appearance or tapered on the sides to really define the cheekbones. To add control and definition to curls, one can use a curl-defining cream. Use it on damp hair, scrunch it in, and then blow-dry with a diffuser for big, bouncy curls that last days.
Wispy Bangs
For light, airy fringes, wispy bangs do certainly give the best option in terms of variety while carrying no weight. This works especially for a first-time bangs wearer since it is so easy to style: straight, parted, or to the side. Cutting vertically helps to create that feathery effect; a stylist’s trick is to snip upwards while holding small sections between fingers. Blow-dry with a round brush for volume, and finish off with a touch of pomade to keep it all under control from frizz or flyaways.
Retro Curtain Bangs
Curtain bangs are a type of hairstyle that is split (naturally) in the middle and gets longer at the temples. This style fits all face shapes and is a versatile option.
Soft Birkin Bangs
With a soft touch, this fringe brushes against the eyebrows. It is very casual and light and compliments short hairstyles perfectly.
Classic Bottleneck Bangs
The bangs are narrow near the top and spread out around the cheekbones. It accentuates symmetry making it a good style for oval faces.
