Super Long Bangs Are Super Trendy
Kate Peck. Getty
I love the look of a long bang. While baby bangs (those blunt bangs that hover several inches above the eyebrows) have been popular on and off for years, long bangs are a classic and never go out of style. And for good reason. They can be edgy, sophisticated and sexy; plus, they cover up big foreheads, bring attention to the eyes and grow out beautifully.
In this gallery, I share some awesome long bang hairstyles on hair of all lengths, including pixies, chin- and shoulder-length cuts and long hair.
One thing to keep in mind: long bangs work with almost all hair textures, but if you have super kinky curly hair, you might consider foregoing bangs altogether and opt for long layers instead.

She’s Parisian and the editor of Vogue, so it’s no wonder Emmanuelle Alt looks fantastic in her shaggy hairstyle with bangs. I’m fascinated with her style and effortless, casual hairstyle, so I’ve followed her and learned her style secrets, which are really to be as natural and care-free about beauty as possible. A big difference, she says, between the French and Americans, is that French women do not spend a lot of time or money on their hair.

Long Bangs on a Ponytail

Ponytails are so awesome for casual running-about-town days and even formal events, but they can be boring if all of your hair fits into the ponytail holder. Sultry, long bangs add a sexy edge to the ponytail, as proven here by Kate Beckinsale.
