Before your next haircut, check out these pictures of long hairstyles with bangs. Adding bangs to long locks creates a trendy, flattering hairstyle. There are types of bangs you can choose from for your longer hair, including short bangs, curtain bangs, or straight-across bangs. While the length of long hair varies from culture to culture, adding bangs that cover your hairline or forehead is a style every woman should try once. So if you’re wondering if bangs look good with long hair, the answer is yes!
Adding a fringe to long hair is a quick and easy way to completely change the vibe of your hairstyle without sacrificing the length. Long locks can be amazingly beautiful, but oh-so-boring if you don’t ever do anything with them. It’s time to mix things up just a bit by adding bangs! Here are some photos of this year’s most popular hairstyles for long hair with bangs!
Tips for how to style long hair with bangs
Start by blow-drying your bangs about halfway dry to get them going in the right direction, letting whatever natural texture you have taken over. Do this by focusing the blow dryer at the roots pointing the airflow forward into your face while pulling the hair side to side, repeating until the roots are dry, and you’ve controlled or at least softened the cowlicks that almost everyone has around their hairline.
For day two bangs, use a dry shampoo to spray in at the roots to help soak up oils and refresh the fullness. One of my cheap and easy favorites is called Psst! and can be found at most beauty supply stores or drugstores for under $10. R+Co has a great dry shampoo styling paste called Badlands that soaks up oils and helps to hold everything in place at the same time. You can also tie the rest of your hair up and shampoo just your bangs in the morning if they’re super greasy, but you don’t need to wash the rest of your hair yet.

This is the result when the classic haircut merges with the textured beachy waves. It’s a style that’s perfect for medium and thick hair texture.
