Short bangs are a great way to get an edgier look and draw more attention to your eyes. Ready for a new look, but don’t want to touch your length or change your hair color? Bangs may just be a little part of a hairstyle, but they definitely make a noticeable change!
Here are the best short baby bangs hairstyles and haircuts for your inspiration:
Short Hair with Short Bangs
Short hair with short bangs can indicate edginess and cuteness. That depends on how you wear it. This hairstyle features short baby bangs for a younger-looking edge. When considering this chop, be mindful of the length of the fringe—bettie bangs are short. They’re ideal for women who have a small forehead or for those who don’t mind having their fringe above the brows.
Shag Hair with Short Bangs
This shag with a short fringe is amazing! This haircut lets you keep your girly length while still keeping it punk rock around the edges.
To style, all you need is a diffuser and some sea salt spray! You can keep it soft around the edges for a business-friendly look, or funk it up for the creative job interview.
By allowing your hairdresser to cut the fringe short and bits around your face, it’s like a hair contour that instantly brings your eyes and cheekbones to perfection.
Layered Hair with Short Bangs
This layered hair with short bangs is perfect for transition hair that you’re trying to grow out. Adding internal layering everywhere gives it a choppy texture.
There is this awesome product from L’Oreal Professionnel called Savage Panache. It’s a texturizing spray and my favorite product for giving an airy texture. Put your fully dried hair upside down and spray Savage Panache globally. Put your head back and shake your hair and arrange however you like it to be. It will give the perfect airy texture that works great for an internal layered cut.
Casual Mirco Bangs
This is a casual hairstyle with short, micro bangs. The cut itself is heavily textured and shaggy with the baby bang, but with soft layering to take unnecessary weight out of the hair.
I call it casual editorial because its effortless look with the striking detail of a baby bang makes you want to take a double take.
Baby bangs are a lifestyle, not a trend. You are committed! I recommend visiting your stylist regularly to keep your fringe sharp.
Shaggy Hair with Short Bangs
Such shaggy hair with short bangs is so chic, and is more natural-looking with a natural wavy texture! This haircut gives thickness and volume to finer hair. The cute baby fringe gives the cut maximum style with minimum effort. Know that bangs are a commitment, so get these short, Betty bangs if you’re down to style them each day.
Medium-Length Hair with Short Bangs
Medium-length hair with short bangs always looks stylish. Just look at that level of beauty—it’s sensational! This style is a chic vintage cut, jazzed up with waves, and paired with a short fringe. Here’s to any girl that desires a low-maintenance hairstyle.
Pixie with Short Bangs
Try a modern, feminine, and easy to style pixie cut with short bangs.
The graduated, rounded shape with the short chunky bangs is a flattering look for any face shape because of its extra volume.
If you have an active lifestyle who’s considering growing out a shorter cropped cut, is a perfect choice for an easy to manage hairstyle.
This cut is suitable for both curly or straighter hair. On curly hair, apply a curl cream and let it air dry naturally or diffuse dry. On straighter hair, tousle dry and use a pomade or paste for texture.
Curly Bob with Short Bangs
Curly short bangs are always an oh-so-chic on a bob. If you have naturally curly hair, adding texture will give it more shape and make it easier to style.
Rockabilly Short Bangs
These are gorgeous short Bettie Bangs and pair well with a round face and glasses. Use a flat iron to style it into a simple straight bob and pair with a bright red lipstick for an edgy vibe.
Stacked Bob with Short Bangs
A very chic and classic stacked bob with short bangs that can be played up as a little edgy with some styling if you’d like.
You should be prepared to style. These short bangs are definitely not for someone who is low maintenance, and it is hard to achieve this look if you naturally have very coarse hair.
Curly Hair with Short Bangs
A curly hair with short bangs with a shag bob haircut has a lot of versatility.
The haircut with short bangs could be worn straight and sleek, straight with a texturizing product, or curly and free. You can also add accessories like a headband or barrettes.
When considering a cut like a curly bob, the greatest thing to take into account is the curve of the hair and the neck. A graceful long neck is most flattering for this cut. Medium to fine-textured hair with a loose to medium curl is the ideal hair type for this style.

How would you describe this look?
This edgy haircut with short bangs has lots of texture to keep in the curls.
The curls create so much movement and volume in the hair.
The short bangs because are so versatile and they can frame the face to bring out her cheekbones and draw attention to your beautiful eyes.
Any advice for someone considering it?
The choice of length can make a huge difference in how the overall hair will look. This is a great look if you have wavy hair or curls to your hair.
To style, all you need is a nice gel to set the waves and comb the bangs in place. You can also blow dry it into a wild voluminous style and use a paste or pomade to create texture. If you have straight hair, the second option of styling would be the best way to style this cut.
Long Wavy Layers with Choppy Bangs

How would you describe this look?
This long wavy hairstyle with short fringe is as sexy and flirty.
Strong short bangs can totally change your entire look. The added bonus is that it transforms a basic, boring topknot into a super chic and trendy style. Getting bangs that go with your face shape can be like an instant facelift!
Any advice for someone considering it?
You need to train your short bangs to lie properly. Some people’s hair is very cooperative and others may need to spend a little more time blow drying them into place. Using a light pomade and piecing the hair a bit can make for an edgier look while a mineral finishing spray (I like Next Day Hair by L’Oreal Professional) can keep them in place, but with a softer, matte finish.
Consider this haircut, considering visiting the salon every three to five weeks for a quick snip. As the bangs grow out, they can easily be shaped into a heavier side bang. Bangs can be customized for all face shapes, but suggest that women with round faces steer clear of the super short baby fringe trend and try something a bit longer and more cheekbone-grazing.

Hair Stylist @ Haus Salon in Minneapolis, MN
How would you describe this?
An ear-length bob with short bangs is similar to a French bob haircut. The hairstyle in the photo is a transition haircut that’s growing out a pixie. Don’t you love the baby bangs? They’re super easy to wear and Blowdry or air dry.
Make sure your bangs are thick enough, though, if you have cowlicks in the front. Use a mousse on wet hair to air dry or diffuse, especially if you have a natural wave. For a sleeker style, use a smoothing cream and Blowdry using a flat brush with bore bristles or paddle brush.
What’s your best advice?
Baby bangs open up the face, shows off the brows and eyes. It’s easy to maintain and wear.
