23 New Ways to Sport Bangs When You Have Wavy Hair
Get inspired by these stylish fringe ideas.
Whether your waves are natural or carefully styled, it’s fair to say that wavy hair lends itself to so many unique haircuts and styles. Sitting somewhere between straight and curly hair, this hair pattern doesn’t usually start right at the root of the hair. Instead, wavy hair is often thinner until mid-shaft, where it starts to curl into a loose pattern.
Wavy hair with bangs has been one of the most popular styles this year, and for good reason. There are so many distinctive ways you can wear wavy hair with bangs — from wispy curtain bangs paired with long loose waves to an edgy micro fringe with a cropped bob, and everything in between.
We’ve rounded up a variety of wavy hair with bangs hairstyles that you can easily recreate, complete with styling tips and product recommendations. Enjoy!
Wavy Hair with Bangs Style Inspiration
1. Short Wavy Hair with Bangs
If you’re on the hunt for the perfect short wavy hairstyle with bangs, look no further than the classic bob. We’re obsessed with the natural effect of this wavy hair bob. Creating loose waves is a great way to add a bit of texture, without worrying about creating perfect curls. And curtain bangs are the perfect addition to this chic and effortless final look.
2. Wavy Bangs
If you want to go full-on with the waves, add it to your fringe, too! Creating waves like this in your bangs can be especially helpful if you’re bangs are on the longer side or you’re in the process of growing them out. But t
The added texture will help add more grip to the style, making them blend in easier with the rest of your wavy strands.
3. Side-Swept Bangs
Turn waves from a playful to a more sophisticated look with side-swept bangs. We love how polished this side-swept look is, and it even pairs well when wearing your hair up. Plus, side bangs with wavy hair is a fool-proof option for those that may have overgrown fringe or want to grow their bangs out. Maybe you just aren’t feeling the blunt straight across bangs? Side-swept looks never disappointed.

It’s no secret that curtain bangs are the absolute “it” bangs style right now. Separate your bangs down the center to create this modern take on the curtain bangs style. This trick is especially useful if you have bangs that are on the longer side.
5. The Shag
Looking for something in style at the moment? Opt for the fun shag haircut. This cut is especially flattering on people with natural waves or texture to the hair, but if your hair is on the straighter side, feel free to had in waves with a curling iron.
6. Wolf Cut with Face Framing Bangs on Wavy Hair
Another edgy hairstyle with bangs that’s perfect for anyone with natural waves is the wolf cut — a haircut that’s part mullet and part shag. The face framing bangs look stunning on wavy hair.
7. Shoulder Length Wavy Hair with Bangs
We love a shoulder-skimming length for all hair types, but shoulder length wavy hair with bangs is an especially flattering cut on all face shapes. Opt for a choppy fringe that emphasizes your wave pattern.

Want a super cropped, super stylish bob with a fringe? The French bob may be just want you were looking for. Let your bangs be ruffled or lightly go over them with a flat iron for more straight bangs with your wavy hair.

Add a few ribbons of highlights to help add dimension to your waves. Highlights like this add an overall warmth to your look and can even help create the appearance of more shine too.
