Find inspiration for your next salon visit!
There comes a time in every woman's life when she asks: "Should I get bangs?" 😂 The answer isn't always yes, but if and when you decide you are ready to take the plunge, it's best to head to your salon fully prepared with photo inspiration of the look you want. That's where these beautiful celebrity haircuts with bangs come in. There's a style for every hair type and texture in this collection, whether you have straight or curly hair, or thick, fine, or even thinning hair. There's even inspiration for every hair length here, too, including the best short haircuts for older women (think: shoulder-length cuts, bobs, and pixies), medium-length haircuts, and long haircuts. If you're looking for something dramatic, take a look at the stunning blunt bangs on this list. Or, if just want to dip your toe in the trend, you might want to opt for curtain bangs, which are easy to grow out if you decide you don't love the look.
Once you've chosen the perfect look for you, be sure to take good care of your hair with the best DIY hair masks. We've also got inspiration for spring hair color ideas and even some fabulous gray hair color ideas!
