I truly believe every girl should try bangs at least once in her life. That being said, there seems to be a common fear among women when it comes to adding some fringe to their 'dos. Truthfully, not every look is right for every girl. However, there are a variety of options when it comes to bangs and with a little help from me, you'll be able to find the cut that suits you best! Let's weigh the pros and cons of my favorite looks!


Side-Swept

Nothing is sexier to me than a deep side-swept bang. It's a relaxed and effortless look that can often support itself with very little styling. Simply, create soft, side bangs along starting from a drastic part on the side of your choosing. The result is a low-maintenance look that gives your face definition and shape and can be easily changed or adjusted.

Pros: These bangs are easy to maintain, require little commitment and styling, are easy to grow out and are a great way to minimize your forehead

Cons: None!

I love a chic classic. From 1920s flappers to the recent high-fashion 'dos dominating the runways, blunt bangs have stood the test of time. If you're a girl that likes to live on the cutting edge of style, this bold look it for you.

Pros: These bangs are agreat option for those with cowlicks, as the weight of a heavy, blunt bang will help to suppress the wayward hair. For more ways to counter cowlicks, read this!

Cons: These bangs need to be trimmed regularly to maintain their blunt lines; They are also not the easiest style to grow out.

Wispy

Long, wispy bangs are a great way to go if you're interested in trying out a new look but don't want a heavy commitment. Having wispy bangs will not only work with most hair types, but they also flatter most face shapes.

Pros: These bangs offer a variety of styling options, as they can be brushed back or to the to the side. They are also super-versatile and can be worn with short or long hairstyles;. They're also super easy to grow out!

Cons:Because of their feather-like cut, these bangstend to get greasy quickly. MDC Tip: To fight the grease, try spraying them with some dry shampoo. We love Pureology Fresh Approach Dry Shampoo.

Rounded

I always find rounded bangs to be a modern and sleek look. Can't picture them? Think Anne Hathaway in "The Devil Wears Prada." Rounded bangs are sharply angled contouring your face making them a great look for anyone! Whether you prefer them full and thick or a bit shaggy, it's a great route to go if you're looking to refresh your hairstyle!

Pros: This look is very modern. They can usually be worn to the side or parted in the middle for an alternate look.

Cons:To maintain the right length and sharp angles, these bangs need to be trimmed regularly.
