Edgy Bang Styles

Bangs, sometimes also referred to as fringes, can often help to define or frame your face. Choose an edgy bang style in order to revamp an otherwise ordinary hairstyle. Alternatively, you may want to have a whole new hairdo to go with your new bangs. There are a variety of different looks you can go for, depending on the effect you want. Does this Spark an idea?

Razored

Razored bangs are layered, with strands cut at varying lengths and on an angle. The razored look is unusual and edgy and has been worn by celebrities such as Ashlee Simpson. This bang style works well either cut short above your eyebrows, or long and just slightly in your eyes. You can wear this type of bang either ironed straight or textured with hair products, if you want to go for the messy look.

Asymmetrical

Bangs that are asymmetrical are cut longer on one side and shorter on the other, and fall in a straight, diagonal line. This may sound unconventional, but asymmetrical fringes are often seen in high-fashion shoots and on the catwalk. The length and the difference in length between the two sides can vary, depending on personal preference. You could enhance this look further by dying your bangs a different color or adding bright-colored streaks.

Blunt

Bangs that are straight, blunt and full are a common, yet edgy, style to choose. Cut your bangs extremely short, an inch or so above your eyebrows, for a 1950s pin-up-inspired look, similar to Bettie Page. Alternatively, you can go just above the eyebrows --- the way Lily Allen wears them --- or just under them, for a more current look. Blunt fringes need to be kept extremely straight to maintain their impact, so you may need to use straightening irons.

Angled

Wearing angled bangs can soften your face while still looking modern and edgy. These bangs are usually cut long, side-parted and swept over to one side so that one eye is completely exposed, whereas the other may be partially obscured. This kind of bang is relatively versatile because if you don't want it all the time, it should be long enough to center-part and tuck behind each ear. Jessica Simpson has been seen sporting the angled bang style.
