Punk
Haircuts for short hair with bangs are especially loved by girls whose style is associated with punk culture. The most common version of this hairstyle is a short nape and temples with elongated hair at the crown.
To emphasize the eccentricity and daring image, it is laid in different ways:
- lift the hair on top of the head and give it a shaggy texture in the form of a mohawk;
- comb the hair forward and emphasize the layering of the bangs.
If desired, individual strands are painted in bright colors, the temples and the back of the head are shaved in several layers, and the growth line of long strands is highlighted. To transform a hairstyle into an elegant one, it is enough to smooth the hair and comb it to one side and add shine to it with a gel.
Asymmetry
This is a flight of imagination for the master, since there are no clear rules when creating an asymmetric haircut. The only requirement for a girl who has decided on such an experiment is the willingness to style her hair in order to demonstrate her beauty.
The simplest and most popular asymmetry option is a bob square with an extension to one side.
Among ultra-short haircuts, this can be pixie, garcon and tomboy with side bangs. For owners of wavy and porous hair, asymmetric haircuts with graduation are suitable. This will add even more volume and airiness to the styling. If you are afraid to touch the length, you can experiment with bangs.
Multi-layered oblique front strands with a side parting no longer have any symmetry, therefore, as the hair grows, the master will offer new options for the design of the bangs.
With shaved parts
Shaved temples and a nape with a clear line look extreme when cutting with an elongated crown. The contrast and almost visible skin immediately grab attention, and focus on the ears and neck. Especially if you comb your hair back and highlight individual strands. A smoother transition and 3-4 cm of hair in the temporal zone can be the first step to experiment.
With the shortest possible haircuts, for example, pixies, shaved temples are almost invisible unless you completely remove the hair. For a square or bob, one temple can be distinguished, which is emphasized by laying on one side.
Short haircuts with straight bangs
Straight bangs have a straight or slightly semicircular cut. It can be either very short or fall over the eyebrows. Heavy and thick bangs with a crisp edge are classic. A more trendy option is a light, profiled bangs laid on a round bang. Best of all, it lies on straight and manageable hair.
Owners of curly and porous hair will have to pull it out with an iron and fix it with varnish. A separate option is an ultra-short bang called baby bang. It has a straight and straight cut and reveals most of the forehead. It suits the owners of oval and elongated faces with soft features, especially when choosing a boyish haircut.
Short haircuts with side bangs
Unlike straight bangs, oblique bangs are more "friendly" with all face shapes. Due to the covered part of the forehead, cheekbones and length, it stretches the face, hides the cheeks and rounds sharp corners. Therefore, it fits both "oval" and "circle", "rectangle" and "triangle".
There are many options for performing oblique bangs:
- trimmed diagonally and laid on 2 sides;
- torn to one side with a length just below the eyebrow line;
- layered up to the chin level.
It also differs depending on the haircut itself. In short boyish versions, the oblique bangs extend the crown, and in a square or an elongated bob, it is cut off in separate strands.
Women's short haircuts with long bangs
Long bangs are now at their peak of popularity. This is an easy way to transform your usual haircut while getting the desired change in appearance. To prevent the bangs from looking like they were chopped off, its ends are milled or torn. This allows you to wear it both flat and curl from the face.
Since the long bangs gently frame the contour of the oval, it is suitable for girls with both soft facial features and a sharp chin and massive jaw.
But the arched bangs, covering the eyebrows and practically touching the eyelashes, will not beautify the owners of a square and round face. Most often, elongated bangs are combined with a square or bob up to shoulder level. With pixie and gavroche, the front strands on both sides will look strange, so for these haircuts it is better to choose oblique or straight bangs that will continue the lines of the hairstyle.

Just a couple of strokes with thinning scissors, and the face appears root volume, and the image becomes playful.
When and who needs bangs thinning:
- owners of thick hair that bristle along the cut;
- for girls with a round face - clear lines expand the face, and the torn ends stretch the oval;
- when creating oblique bangs to make the diagonal softer;
- thinned straight bangs focus on facial features.
