If you’ve never heard of baby bangs before, you’ve come to the right place because you’re about to start seeing them everywhere in 2019. We’re breaking down everything you need to know about baby bangs before committing to the super short fringe trend.
What exactly are baby bangs?
Unlike traditional fringe that falls just above your eyebrows, baby bangs are much shorter. They typically end about an inch from the front of your hairline. While the length of baby bangs is generally always the same, there are tons of ways to customize your look. Whether you want blunt, layered, or asymmetrical baby bangs, your stylist will be able to determine which cut is best for you.What is the maintenance like for baby bangs?
If you’ve had fringe before, you probably already know that they require regular maintenance and styling to look their absolute best—and baby bangs are no different. For low maintenance gals, the bold bangs will require a serious update to your daily styling routine. Since baby bangs are even shorter than traditional bangs, they don’t naturally frame your face and will need to be styled each day. For everyday styling, consider picking up a mini flat iron.
Interested in baby bangs but not quite ready for such a radical change? Ask your stylist for a fringe with a bit more length. Starting with a longer style can help you get a feel for having bangs before opting for microbangs.
