Combining short hair with bangs is still a popular way to have short hair. However, these days there are some new variations based upon new hair cutting techniques that will give you a more modern look. I’ve put together photos of some of the best ways to combine short hair with a fringe.
Bobs and pixie cuts are sometimes challenging to achieve, so be sure to work with a stylist who specialized in short hair. Hairstylist Vicki Felan from Burleson, TX says, “It’s hard to get just right around the perimeter. The amount of bangs is often tricky to figure out. What works for one woman doesn’t always work for the next.”
Be ready to keep up with the maintenance and its demand for styling. Bangs have to be styled every day. Hairstyles for short hair aren’t the get-up-and-go type of trend.
During a consultation, tell your stylist how much time you’re willing to spend on your hair in the morning. Felan notes that some hair textures take more work to style each day.
Now, find your favorites amongst these photos of the trendiest short hair with bangs!
Very Short Hair with Full Bangs and Choppy Layers
This short hair with bangs is the modern grunge Joan Jett. This cut has short and choppy layers, partnered with soft wispy bangs.
The layers around the face can bring out high cheekbones and the soft short bangs frame your gorgeous eyes.
How to style short haircuts with bangs:
– Apply Aveda’s Texture Tonic on damp hair
– Let it air dry.
– Finish by separating the layers with the Defining Whip.
The Bixie Cut with Bangs
Consider a bixie cut with bangs to soften up your bob. Add short petals around your face with bangs and crown layers. Super cute and edgy for women in their 20’s and 30’s. A haircut that can simply get better with time if carved out nicely with a razor.
Short Stacked bob for Women Over 50
A short stacked bob is a great short haircut for women over 50. Amp up your boring bob by adding stacking, bangs, and light layers. Did you know that wearing the hair flatter makes thin hair look thicker? Try using a hair thickener and a paddle brush, blowing side to side for a thicker but flatter finish.
The Pixie Bob with Bangs
Consider a pixie bob with bangs. A pixie bob is super cute and so versatile. You can wear it straight for a bold look or curl it for a softer style. Ask your stylist to graduate the nape and connect it to a longer front for maximum impact. A short bang is versatile as well, giving you the option to wear them straight down or brushed to the side.
Soft Bangs
A short hairdo looks especially beautiful with soft bangs. If you’re not sure about bangs try adding just a few to start. Experimenting with a light bang enables you to grow them out easily. Bangs can really make your eyes pop, and work especially well on long face shapes. Ask your stylist to point cut the fringe for the softest shape.
Undercut with Choppy Bangs
If looking for something edgy, try an undercut with choppy bangs and a lavender hue for a feminine style. To achieve the choppy piece-y bangs, the stylist must approach it by doing deep point cuts. Haze Styling Powder by Evo is a go-to product for fuss-free hair and an effortless style.
Neck-Length Bob with Straight Across Bangs
One thing that makes for a cute short hairstyle with bangs is getting a rose gold hair color. For trendy short hair with fringe, request a blunt and beach waves.
Super Short Cut with Side Bangs for Thick Hair
A short haircut with bangs is great for women with thin or thick hair. For women with fine hair, it creates more illusions of thickness, and long side-swept bangs add shape and style. A super short cut with side bangs for thick hair would need texturizing and weight taken off to create movement. Style with a straightening iron to create a bend in the hair for soft waves.
Short Ombre With Straight Bangs
Choose a short ombre with straight bangs if you want a bob and have a round face. On a short haircut, the bangs falling over the forehead with the depth of the dark base adds height to the head, which visually elongates the face and adds a slimmer feel.
Timeless Short Bob and Bangs
Classic short bobs with bangs never go out of style. Not to mention a few loose curls can do wonders for a more formal style or night out with the girls. This timeless red short bob with bangs was created by master stylist Janelle of Vancouver, BC.
For women who don’t wear a far side part to offset any harshness, the right front bangs for the face shape add a nice softness to the overall style.
For styling, Janelle suggests you use a good styling cream/volumizer such as Bumble and Bumble Styling Cream and Kevin Murphy Anti.Gravity before blow drying on wash days, paired with a multi-purpose shine/anti-frizz spray.
“For women who could previously not wear short hair or bangs now benefit from flat irons and texturizing techniques,” she adds.
The rounder the face, the longer the front length should be to create a slimming silhouette (think a couple of inches below the chin). A side bang will definitely add to that effect. Smaller, “pointier” chins can pretty well pull off any style of bob and bangs, even as short as a 20s-style bob.
Medium to Short Hair with Long Side Swept Bangs for Over 40
Pull off a messy short haircut with side swept bangs, and look youthful more than ever! This one offers the best long side-swept bangs for over 40.

Finish your short hair bangs off with a texturizing spray and let your hair do the talking.
Long Heavy Bangs on Short Hair
Long heavy bangs on short hair add a strong face-framing effect. They also work great for women with longer face shapes. Short hairstyles are already great for longer face shapes, but to get a full effect, adding a longer heavy fringe that grazes the brow, will give the ultimate face-contouring effect.

Short Angled Bob with Bangs
Choose a short angled bob with bangs to lengthen and slim down a wider or fuller face. The angled length keeps a strong structure in the shape, and with the bangs adding some squareness, it balances against rounder features. Another benefit is the length dropping down as it falls through the sides, which also visually narrows your appearance.
Chin-Length Bob with Deep Side Bangs
