Commitment-free bangs: easy fringe ideas
Cutting a fringe in can seem like such a commitment, especially when it's a heavy, full style. If you're looking to cut bangs in, but want to stick to a lighter shape which is easier to grow out, the below ideas may suit you perfectly.
From soft sweeping bangs to choppy light straight-across fringes, there's a lot to choose from if you want all the style but none of the commitment...
IndigitalThis fringe is light, textured and choppy. Its subtlety means you can push it to one side, clip it back or wear it like this.
InDigitalKeep it simple with a very light side-swept fringe. Ask your stylist to only cut a very small portion of your hair, and to cut it into a slightly angled shape.
IndigitalDon’t want to cut your hair at all? Then try something like this. Take the front portion of your hair and section it off, then add in some volume by back-combing slightly and adding in a texture spray.
Getty ImagesThis is another way to create the effect of a fringe, without having to cut anything off. Just style the front portion of your mane with an extreme side-parting, and style across the top of your forehead.
IndigitalThis is more of a permanent change, but provides a style that is easily grown out and looks light and subtle. Ask your stylist for a light choppy long fringe.
InDigitalThis is a very clever way to create the illusion of bangs. Part your hair in the centre then apply a serum or gel to create a slicked-back texture. Then style the hair into a faux-fringe and secure with a grip on both sides.
GettyThese ‘curtain-fringes’ are perfect for commitment-a-phobes. The style is on the heavy side, but its shape means you can easily push it to one – or both – sides.
GoRunwayWe love this option. It all relies on texture and the choppy effect cutting into the edges creates, so make sure to mention this to your hairdresser.
IndigitalThis may seem extreme, but it’s a bold way to rock your grown-out fringe. This style is soft and feathered, so make sure your ends are delicate rather than choppy and harsh.
IndigitalIf you’ve had a blunt fringe cut and are having regrets, grow it out until it’s long enough to cut in this graduated shape.
InDigitalWant subtle bangs? Just go for the side-sweep. We love this style!
