Bangs and wavy hair: 7 hot-to-trot styles from the stars
1. Kerry Washington’s eye-skimming fringe
Scandal star Kerry Washington has ditched her Olivia Pope bouncy curls for a cool wavy long bob. The look is a far cry from her on-screen style, with her new ‘do providing tonnes of extra volume through the lengths, while the choppy bangs give an on-trend edge to her appearance.
2. Alexa Chung’s gappy fringe
How could we possibly do a wavy hair with bangs round up and not mention Alexa Chung?! The model, muse, writer, designer (is that everything? Yes? Good!) has made the style combo her signature look, helping to reinforce her It-girl credentials.
Editor’s tip: For Alexa’s tousled, wavy finish, we suggest spritzing your hair with TRESemmé Perfectly (Un)Done Sea Salt Spray. This will help to accentuate any natural waves or movement that you have, for a just-off-the-beach vibe.
3. Kaia Gerber’s ’70s bangs
Kaia Gerber, daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford, opted for an on trend ’70s-inspired fringe to wear with her golden brown hair. To complete the look, Kaia added soft waves for the full, retro-inspired finish – she’s the spitting image of her mamma, no?
4. Malin Akerman’s side bangs
The Billions actress has gone for a side fringe to wear with her light blonde curly lob. Side fringes are a great way to introduce your self into the world of bangs, as they don’t require as much maintenance as most other fringes – plus, if you don’t like the result, you can always grow out the style!
5. Lea Michele’s choppy fringe
Choppy fringes are a very popular choice for many women, as they can be styled to suit most all face shapes. So, if like Lea Michele you have thick hair, choppy bangs will help take some of that weight away; while for those with fine tresses, the cut will add some much-needed texture.
6. Kylie Jenner’s wet look style
Hair chameleon Kylie Jenner has rocked so many hairstyles, it’s hard to keep up! However, one of our favourites has to be this wavy hair bangs style.
Going for a wet-look shag cut is a major style statement in itself, yet when teamed with a wispy fringe it gives the look a more modern feel. Just what will she rock next?!
Editor’s tip: To get that wet-look effect, spritz the VO5 Classic Styling Mega Hold Gel Spray all over your waves, before scrunching your hair with your hands to help work the product in.
7. Zooey Deschanel’s bardot bangs
New Girls actress is one of the most famous celebrities to rock wavy hair and bangs. From her full fringe to this Bardot bangs style, Zooey needs to be on your hair radar if you are thinking of joining the bangs brigade.
