Short Hair With Bangs: 35 Looks to Try in 2023
Elevate your style with these bold and trendy hair ideas.
When you want a makeover, you often go to the salon and get a haircut. You say goodbye to your long hair and welcome a fresh, new ‘do. Why don’t you take your transformation to the next level by getting short hair with bangs? Bangs look great with almost all hair cuts. And depending on your personality, you can get a full fringe, wispy bangs, or short hair with side bangs. Here are ideas on how you can rock short hair with bangs in the coming year.
Ways to Style Short Hair with Bangs
1. Curly Bob With Bangs
Whether you have a chin-length bob or a medium bob, you can add fringe to it, especially if you have a long face. Then, create messy curls to go with your straight blunt bangs to play with two different textures.
2. Bob and Straight Blunt Bangs
Rock a sleek and straight bob and make it edgy by adding a full fringe. Keep it smooth and frizz-free with a drop of hair serum to tame those tutsang and tikwas.
Editor’s tip: Keep frizz under control with Cream Silk Triple Keratin Rescue Ultimate Straight Ultra Conditioner. It has keratin relaxers to tame and reduce frizz, keratin serum to moisturize and smoothen your hair, and keratin essence to add shine and revive hair from damage.

3. Apple Cut Short Hair With Side Bangs
Side-swept bangs jazz up an apple cut by giving it additional layers and texture. Spice up your haircut even more by dyeing it chocolate brown or adding caramel highlights to give it more depth and make it look fresh.
4. Pixie Cut Short Hair With Side Bangs
A pixie cut is already chic on its own. You don’t have to do much in order to make it stylish. Just blow dry your hair for a few minutes after showering so it maintains its shape.

5. Bob With Side-Swept Bangs
While we’re talking about side-swept bangs, let us give you another short hair option that goes well with this type of fringe: the blunt bob. Side-swept bangs make it look thicker, so this look is a good choice if you’re looking for bob haircuts for fine hair. To style, a quick blowout using a blow-dryer and round brush is all you need.
