If you’ve always had long hair, this might be the sign for you to finally give up your waist-length tresses. Remember, your hair will grow back and life’s too short (pun intended) to not try a chin-grazing ‘do that can totally transform your look.
One of the factors that makes most girls hesitant to try a shorter hairstyle is they feel like it reveals more of their face and body. Much like peeling off a comforting veil that used to cover certain features you wanted to be kept hidden. But this is the exact reason why some women opt to add a fringe to their short hair!
Bangs is the perfect way to frame your face and conceal features you’d rather not flaunt. At the same time, the right fringe can accentuate your face shape better, brighten up your look, and add character. But if you think getting bangs means sporting a full blunt fringe, let us broaden your vocabulary of styles. From curtain bangs to the trendy Korean-style snip, here are some of the most flattering cuts to consider if you’re ready to go for a short face-framing hairstyle.
12 Flattering Short Haircuts with Bangs That Will Elevate Your Look
