7 celebrities that convinced us to get bangs

Loved by the Global Brand Ambassador of Gucci, New Jean’s Hanni takes the world by storm with her iconic jet-black hair and full blunt bangs for a fashionable look worthy of the luxury house. Her half-tied, half-down hairdo accentuates her youthfulness and is seen famously plastered on billboards and when promoting her band’s music. For a more seamless look, opt for both ends of the cut to be slightly longer to give a more tapered and put-together appearance. To emulate Hanni’s unique style, straighten out the bangs with a flat iron, pull out some excess hair for styling, and you’re good to go.

Crowned the queen of bangs, Lisa from Blackpink is the epitome of elegance, alongside her bandmates. For a more three-dimensional look, she has perfected the voluminous bangs with a slight curl-in at the bottom so that it just touches the eyebrows. Her dream-like bangs also adds a tinge of softness if the classic bangs might be too intimidating for you. Here, Lisa is also seen with wavy blonde, brown hair with highlights woven into all the right points that complete her luscious mane everyone wishes to have. It all lies in the details - go in with a strand of braid like she did to add a final touch of chic.

Just like how we will never stop talking about Crazy Rich Asians despite it happening 5 years ago, we will never shut up about the lead’s choppy straight bangs too. The second-time Mum, Constance Wu, is still seen rocking this look back in February this year during her pregnancy announcement on Instagram Stories. Like a true millennial, she is bringing sexy back with the messy yet edgy cut, a must try hairdo for all who wants to experience something new but still comfortable and easy to maintain.

Commonly recognised as Kate Sharma or the Viscountess from hit Netflix series Bridgerton, Simone Ashley has also been seen taking things up a notch from her usual unapologetically bouncy curly locks. Sharing a selfie, her new hairdo made its first appearance on Instagram as she wore straight, brown hair with full front bangs that became the main talking point. The best part of lived-in bangs is that it gives the illusion of a natural, unintended, and effortlessly edgy coif. This is perfect if you are going for that hashtag iwokeuplikethis and myfringebutbetter look. Whenever in doubt, go for the classic smooth and sleek Rapunzel-esque hair as well as the traditional non-see-through fringe and you will never go wrong.

The Little Nyonya Jeanette Aw owns this Shaggy cut with layered milk tea brown hair for texture, and a light but full-frontal bang that reaches just above the brows. Not quite yet the micro bangs, the veteran actress cum Le Cordon Bleu graduate and entrepreneur combines the best of all worlds to keep things nice and simple with a heap of style by rounding off her fringe with subtle wispier sides at both ends to give the visage a nice, soft frame.

Do you have naturally curly hair but still want to rock a bang? Dr Christina Yang, an alias for the Hollywood star, Sandra Oh, goes au naturale and embraces her wavy tresses proudly with flattering tight curly bangs. A look commonly seen on Sandra, her often cascading wavy ringlets from her forehead to the eyebrows create the perfect tousled curls effect, just enough to replicate a vintage blowout! If you are sitting on the fence for this one, know that curls and bangs are always a match made in heaven, and you’re just one haircut away from stardom!

Sharon Au’s new haircut is absolutely Très beau! The former actress, who now resides in Paris, has recently shared her new trim with her followers - a timeless classic bob and bangs that knows no boundaries. Her new mane is the textbook definition of the traditional blunt bangs, which has a cut that goes straight across the forehead, thick but sharp and smooth. It may look heavy upon first glance, but pair it with a short bob like she did and it instantly puts together a great ensemble no matter the outfit.
