Bangs truely come in all shapes and sizes. Whether it be piecey, lash-lengthened fringes swept to the side like curtains, or full on bangs as beautifully demonstrated by Justin Bieber on his Baby album cover- it seems the wispy bangs are the ones currently reigning.
Whether it be our queen of voluminous hair Matilda Djerf or Actress Daisy Edgar-Jones, suddenly the urge to cut our hair into wispy bangs is extremely palpable. They're the effortless shaggy layered fringe that takes half the time to style and energy to maintain. One of our favourite perks about them is they're not too overpowering, but rather creates a softness to the face. Perfect for the warmer weathers too, where pinning your fringe back in those sweaty days, aren't necessary. And if you're not ready to commit to the full bunt bangs as Edgar-Jones once worn by Marianne in Normal People- put down the scissors, because while they're effortless cutting your own bangs is never a good idea, and go the salon, because here's why you should try the wispy bangs.
Why do we love wispy bangs?
Whether you prefer to call them curtain, wispy, or layered bangs, one thing's for sure: they're the modern interpretation of the classic fringe. These soft, textured layers effortlessly frame the face, lending an air of casual sophistication. Unlike their blunt predecessors, they offer a more forgiving and versatile style.

Wispy bangs are the epitome of low-maintenance chic. With their delicate, feathered ends, they require minimal styling to look effortlessly cool. This makes them perfect if you want to add a touch of edge without the fuss. Their versatility is unmatched, complementing a wide range of hairstyles, from sleek bobs to flowing waves. And to complement the wispy bangs further, adding highlights around the face further accentuates depth and dimension.
But wispy bangs aren't just about style. They can also be quite enhancing to your facial features. By drawing attention to the eyes and cheekbones, they can create a more balanced and harmonious look as further seen on Daisy Edgar-Jones today as she completes her Twisters movie press tour.
How can I maintain them?
Maintaining wispy bangs, depending on the length and volume, sometime requires some TLC. Regular trims every 3-4 weeks can help preserve their shape. However, a fluff around with your fingers and a gentle wash is all that is needed to keep them healthy and fresh. Blow-drying with a round brush can create a more polished look, while air-drying followed by some texturing or sea salt spray offers a more natural finish. Dry shampoo seems to be a lifesaver for extending washes and adding volume, as with the rest of your hair. But try to resist the urge to touch your bangs to prevent oiliness and maintain their shape.
