22 Gorgeous Black Hair Bangs Styles to Elevate Your Look

Black hair with bangs is a classic look that never goes out of style. There are so many different options when it comes to bangs that you can find a style that fits your face shape and hair texture. From side-swept bangs to curtain bangs, there are so many different ways to style your hair with bangs. If you’re looking for a fresh new look, check out these black hair bang styles!

1. Curly Bangs

If you have naturally curly hair, you can still rock bangs! A curly fringe can be a bit more high-maintenance, but it looks absolutely stunning on curly hair.

To style, use a small amount of a leave-in conditioner, like the Kérastase Discipline Oleo-Curl Cream, to help define your curl pattern. Then, use a diffuser to dry your hair and bangs.

2. Long Bangs

Long bangs are a great way to get the look of bangs without having to commit to a shorter length. This style works with any face shape and can be easily blended into the rest of your hair. If you’re worried about the length of your bangs, have your stylist cut them a little longer at first and then go shorter if you want.

3. Side-Swept Bangs

If you’re not ready to commit to a full-on fringe, side-swept bangs are a great way to test the waters. They’re a little more low maintenance and can be styled to be any length you want.

To style, simply part your hair to one side and use a round brush to blow-dry your bangs, brushing them to the opposite side of your part. This will give them a nice, soft curve.

4. Wispy Bangs

If you’re not ready to commit to a full-on bang, try a wispy bang. This soft, face-framing style is perfect for those who want to add a little something extra to their look without going overboard. Wispy bangs look great on just about everyone and can be tailored to fit your face shape and hair texture.

5. Straight Bangs

Straight bangs are a classic style that pair well with any hair texture. You can make your bangs as thick or as thin as you like, and you can also customize the length to your preference. This blunt bang look is super sleek and looks great with a high ponytail.

6. Short Bangs

Short bangs are a great way to add a fun, flirty feel to your look. This style is all about the texture. To get this look, use a 1-inch curling wand to curl your hair in 1-inch sections. Once your hair is curled, use a pick to lift and fluff your hair to add volume.

If you don’t want to commit to a full set of bangs, you can use clip-in bangs to get this look without the commitment.

7. Blunt Bangs

Blunt bangs are cut straight across and typically fall right at the top of the eyebrows. This style is perfect for someone who wants to make a statement and doesn’t mind the extra maintenance.

If you want to keep your bangs looking fresh, you’ll need to get them trimmed every two weeks.

8. Baby Bangs

This look is so chic! Baby bangs are cut super short and are great if you have a smaller forehead. Plus, they add a cool edge to the rest of your look.

Add some texture to your hair with a sea salt spray like the Kérastase Eau de Vagues.

9. Asymmetrical Bangs

Asymmetrical cuts are a fun way to add dimension and movement to your hair. This is especially true for bangs. If you’re looking to add a little edge to your look, ask your stylist to cut your bangs in an asymmetrical style. This cut will have one side longer than the other and can be as bold or as subtle as you like.

10. Micro Bangs

Micro bangs are a bold look, but they can be so flattering. The short length of the bangs draws attention to your eyes and can even make your face appear more oval. If you have a long face shape, micro bangs are a great option for you.

Micro bangs are also super versatile and can be styled in many different ways. Here, the bangs are styled with a slight curl to add some volume and texture.

11. Middle Part Bangs

Middle part bangs are a great way to frame your face and give you a little bit of a retro vibe. This look is perfect for anyone who wants to try bangs without committing to a full fringe.

12. Choppy Bangs

Bangs don’t have to be perfectly cut to look good. Choppy bangs are a great option for those who want to try the trend but don’t want to commit to a specific length. This style can be achieved with a little bit of texturizing while cutting the bangs or with a little bit of styling after they’re cut.

13. Curtain Bangs

Curtain bangs are a bit longer than other styles, and are parted down the middle. This style is a great way to ease into the bangs trend, as it’s less of a commitment than other bang styles and can easily be blended into layers if you decide they’re not for you.

Pairing curtain bangs with a shaggy, layered cut is a match made in heaven. The layers add volume and texture to the hair, and the bangs add a touch of sophistication.

14. Shaggy Bangs

Shaggy bangs are a great option if you want to try out bangs but don’t want anything too high maintenance. The uneven layers make it easy to style and blend into the rest of your hair.

This look is also a great example of how you can add a pop of color to your bangs. The dark purple hues in the bangs are subtle but add a fun touch to the look.

15. Thick Bangs

If you have thick hair, a thick bang can be your best friend. Because thick hair can sometimes be difficult to style, a thick bang can help you to create a very stylish look with minimal effort.

Thick bangs can also help to balance out a round face.

16. Layered Bangs

Layered bangs are a great way to add a little texture to your hair. This style is perfect if you want to add a little oomph to your look, but you don’t want to commit to a full set of bangs.

This style is also great if you’re transitioning from a full set of bangs to a side-swept look.

17. Feathered Bangs

Feathered bangs are a great way to add movement to your hair. These light bangs are cut in a way that they are longer in the middle and taper towards the edges. This creates a feathery effect that is simply stunning. You can also pair this look with a layered haircut to create even more movement throughout your hair.

18. Deep Side Part Bangs

You can make a statement with your bangs by creating a deep side part. This look is great for those who want to try out bangs without committing to a full-on fringe. It’s also a great way to add some volume and texture to your hair.

Ask your stylist to create a deep side part and then add a few layers to your bangs to give them a wispy look. You can also use a flat iron to add some waves and texture to your bangs.

19. Swoop Bangs

Swoop bangs are a great way to add a little personality to your bangs without going overboard. This look is perfect for a casual day out or a more formal event. Pair it with a sleek updo or let your hair down and add some soft waves for a romantic look.

20. Pin-Up Bangs

Bangs can be a great way to add a vintage touch to your look. Pin-up bangs are short, and they sit high on the forehead. You can wear these with a ponytail or a bun to add a little extra drama to your look.

21. Heart-Shaped Bangs

If you’re looking to add a little edge to your look, heart-shaped bangs are the way to go. This style is similar to a French cut, but the ends are rounded to create a heart shape. This style is perfect for anyone who wants to experiment with bangs but doesn’t want to commit to a full-on fringe.

22. Round Bangs

If you want to try bangs but you’re not ready to commit to a full fringe, round bangs are a great option. They’re shorter in the middle and longer at the sides, which creates a flattering frame around the face. If you have a round face shape, this style is perfect for you!

Conclusion

When you have black hair, you have the advantage of being able to choose any color to add to your bangs. If you want to add a pop of color to your hair, you can opt for a shade that is on the opposite end of the color wheel, such as blue, green, or purple, to make your hair stand out.
