5. Paloma Faith’s ’70s blunt bangs

Singer Paloma Faith revealed a ’70s-inspired Jane Birkin blunt bangs at the ELLE Style Awards. Known for her eccentric sense of style, The Voice UK coach kept her new look low-key, letting her outfit steal the show.

Editor’s tip: Textured types of blunt bangs, like this one, require a texturising spray to give it that beautifully nonchalant vibe. So, we suggest you give the VO5 Dry Texturising Spray a go.

Not only is this fringe-saver (it’s great for reviving greasy bangs), it can help produce with bedhead looks and help with long-lasting styling, since it provides your mane with grip.

Kelly Osbourne has swapped her off-kilter mohawk for a much sleeker, chicer look — although with her lavender colour still very much intact.

She topped off this daring look with a peachy lipstick, a dramatic cat-eye flick and a bold, blunt fringe that perfectly encapsulates modern-day Cleopatra.

Editor’s tip: Straight blunt bangs, whether natural or the result of heated styling, take serious work to achieve. So, make sure you’ve got a heat protecting primer spray, like the TRESemmé Biotin + Repair 7 Primer Spray in your beauty arsenal.
