A NEW POSSIBILITY
Wispy bangs
A light eyebrow-length fringe leaves glimpses of the forehead. Longer side pieces soften the edges while the rest of the hair falls past the shoulders.
- Talk to your stylist about
- Point out how much forehead you want visible and where you want the longest fringe pieces to land.
- Living with the look
- Ask how the fringe will fall with your natural part and how often it will need a trim.
- A helpful reality check
- A preview cannot predict how your hair will fall, feel or grow. Use it to discuss length and shape, alongside your texture and routine.
What defines Wispy bangs?
Wispy bangs leave spaces between light strands across the forehead. Longer outer strands soften where the fringe meets the sides.
What to look for from the front, side and back
Look at how much brow and forehead remain visible. Use the side view to see how the outer wisps connect to the longer hair beside the cheek.
What to confirm with your stylist
Choose the amount of hair to bring forward and the longest dry point. Ask how the wisps will separate with your own growth pattern.
