Bangs can have a huge impact on women’s hairstyles. When done right, they enhance a style; when done badly or the wrong type of bangs is chosen, it can be very bad.

If you’re getting a cut with bangs, you’d be well served to learn about the different types of bangs and figure out which type fits your face shape, hair type, and length.

We can help. Below is access to our gallery featuring many hairstyles with bangs. Be sure to drill down with other search features. Below is our gallery; we set out many types of bangs.

Photo Examples of Different Styles of Bangs

There are a lot of different types of bangs. Moreover, there are two ways of categorizing bangs.

First, they can be categorized by hairstyle, cut, hair type, or length. For example, you can have a pixie cut with bangs. Or long hair with bangs. While people search for these types of bangs extensively, they don’t describe the particular type of bangs about the bangs themselves.

The second way of categorizing bangs pertains to the bangs themselves. That’s what we set out below. There are many different options.

1. Long bangs

Long bangs don’t refer to long hair. It refers to the bangs themselves, which are longer than average. These would need to be parted, side-swept, and have long side bangs, or they may be found on the side flowing over the years.

2. Short bangs

Short bangs are dangerous because they can look odd if cut too short. Bangs must fit with the rest of the hair. Short bangs only really work with certain pixie cuts.

3. Straight bangs

Straight bangs drop straight down to above the eye. They don’t curve, sweep, or part. They’re like a hair wall dropping down over the forehead.

4. Blunt bangs

These are bangs cut in a straight, horizontal line. See our full blunt bangs gallery here.

5. Parted bangs

Parted bangs are usually parted in the center but can be asymmetrically parted, which is a side part.

6. Side-swept bangs

Side-swept bangs can be longer because they sweep to the right or left, away from the eyes. It’s an elegant look. See our side-swept bangs photo gallery here.

7. Feathered bangs

Feathered bangs deploy a cut where the bangs are of different lengths (via layers), so you achieve a feathered look when styled.

8. Wispy bangs

These are achieved by cutting bangs to different lengths, which, when the hair hangs, appears to be combed to the side, but it’s not because the different lengths give that appearance. The wispy areas have gaps in the hair, giving it a wispy look.

9. Fringe bangs

Deploys a cutting approach to shape the bangs in any number of styles. Many bang hairstyles can be called fringe – a technique shaping the bangs (i.e., hair dropping over the forehead).

10. Layered bangs

This is when bang layers are cut different lengths for texture over the forehead.

11. Long side bangs

Long side bangs are longer strands of hair that drop down on the sides… longer than the rest of the hair. You see this with certain pixie cuts.

12. Curtain bangs

Curtain bangs are longer and part in the center, with each side sweeping to the left or right.
