Bang hairstyles are popular for a reason, especially for those who are trying to look younger. Since many women see their first signs of aging (deep wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots) appear on their forehead, bangs can be a convenient way to hide them. Plus, a hair cut will give you instant results, as opposed to the longer investment of a new skincare regime.
Hairstylist and salon owner, Nunzio Saviano, tells Allure, “[Bangs] are almost like an accessory for the face. They’re ageless — any woman can have bangs.” With that in mind, keep reading for some celeb-approved bang hairstyles that can help you look younger.
Grown-Out Bangs
Rather than constantly trimming your bangs, embrace them as they grow! When styled correctly, grown-out bangs can help you look youthful while still framing your face. Similar to curtain bangs, which are popular right now, grown-out bangs are a longer style.
By adding some layers to your grown-out bangs to frame your face, this look can be a youthful take on a classic hairstyle.
Brow-Skimming Bangs
A longer, brow-skimming bang hairstyle can give you a more youthful appearance. If you need proof, check out Helen Mirren's look.
"Helen's brow-skimming fringe adds such a youthful element to her short cut," Chicago-based stylist/colorist Jessica Stuart-Lukosus tells Good Housekeeping. "This look frames the top of her face, enhancing both her eyes and cheekbones." Next time you get your hair done, keep this bang length tip in mind.
Piecey Fringe
A piecey bang hairstyle can help keep your look fresh. Blunt bangs can cut across your face too sharply if you're not careful, making you look older instead of younger. Adding more texture with a piecey style instead can be a great alternative, softening a harsh look while still disguising any unwanted forehead lines.
