Don't be afraid of short bangs. Take them up toward the hairline for a face-lengthening effect. Ask a hairstylist for a blunt finish on the ends so the pieces will fall where they please.

Swept Up
This entire haircut is an example of well-placed choppy layers. Not ready for a close crop? All hair lengths can copy the idea of tiny sideswept bangs that get ever so slightly longer.

Curly Girl
Take curly bangs to the next level with a fringe that flares out from all angles. Those who are commitment-phobes can also fake the look by twisting the front layers of their hair into a pineapple bun and pulling out pieces to frame the face.

Tons of Texture
Create a messy effect without any snips by playing up hair texture. Highlight kinks by twisting and turning them in any direction. Then let them go wherever they want. Feeling bold? Use a temporary hair color to create contrasting roots.

Flicked Out
Nod to the 70s fashion mood and the uneven bang trend with this flicked hairstyle. It's modern because the long bangs have been randomly turned out, but the ends are in undone waves.
