Blunt bangs are a variation of traditional bangs that are cut straight across the forehead. The term “blunt” refers to the blunt cut finish of the bangs.
Unlike layered or wispy bangs, these have a more defined look. Depending on your preference and hair type, this style of bang can range in thickness from full, thick fringe to softer, narrower variations.
Blunt Bangs
Blunt fringe pairs well with a number of hairstyles. Choose from bobs, ponytails, and long waves.
Straight Bangs with a Ponytail
Straight bangs with a ponytail offer a formal look that’s great for special occasions. This style complements a wide variety of facial features.
To style, blow-dry the bangs with a round brush to add volume and smoothness. Then secure the rest of the hair in a sleek ponytail.
Wispy Blunt Bangs
With wispy blunt bangs, you get the sharpness of a blunt cut, softened by fine, feathered ends. These eyebrow-level wispy bangs add movement and work well for softening a strong bone structure. This style is also low-maintenance, requiring only a quick trim every few weeks to stay fresh.
Bob with Blunt Micro Bangs
A bob with blunt micro bangs is perfect for those who want a bold look with minimal styling. Use a flat iron on your micro fringe for a crisp, straight finish.
This style suits those with a defined facial structure, as it emphasizes the face’s natural angles and draws attention to the eyes.
Full Blunt Bangs with Long Hair
A blunt fringe sits at the eyebrows, creating a strong frame for the eyes and highlighting facial structure. Paired with long hair, it adds dimension and flatters both straight and slightly wavy hair types.
To style, smooth with a bit of product and use a flat iron for an even finish.
Blunt Bob with Straight Bangs
Pair a chin-length blunt bob with straight bangs to enhance your bone structure. To maintain its sleekness, apply a light styling cream to damp hair, ensuring the strands of hair stay in place.
Choppy Blunt Bangs
Choppy blunt bangs are cut straight across but with uneven, textured ends to create depth and a slightly edgy look.
They soften the intensity of a blunt fringe, bringing movement without feeling too heavy. You can also style individual strands with your fingers for personalized texture.
Soft Blunt Fringe
Soft blunt fringe draws attention to the brow line while subtly framing the face. Blow-dry damp hair with a flat brush to smooth out flyaways and keep strands sleek.
Follow up with a straightener for extra precision, then finish with a small amount of styling cream to add shine.
