50. Blonde Hair with Side Bangs

Blonde hair with bangs typically needs frequent chops to keep hair fresh. Blonde locks are typically weaker, so bangs cut at the front of the face actually remove a lot of dead ends in the most stylish way we can think of. On older women, we love a texturized style like this one, where longer bangs feed into soft, shoulder-length layers.

Side Bangs Vs. Curtain Bangs

Side bangs and curtain bangs are similar but have a few key differences. Both styles are angular bangs that frame your face and draw attention to your eyes and cheekbones. Some curtain bangs can be arranged as side bangs, but they will have a different look than traditional side bangs. 

Curtain bangs are symmetrical and intended to be worn with a middle part. They tend to be longer than side bangs and have a feathered, tousled style.

Side bangs are asymmetrical and look best with a side part. This style can range from tousled to elegant, but it will always create a smooth, arcing shape across your hairline. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about side bangs.

Are side bangs out of style?

Side bangs, along with other 2000s trends, are back in style. Unlike the thick, helmet-like side bangs of the early aughts, contemporary bangs are more relaxed and incorporated with other face-framing layers. 

Do side bangs go with round faces?

Side bangs look great on round faces. The asymmetry will help the face to look less full, and the length of the bang draws attention to the eyes and cheekbone. Both of these elements will create the illusion of a longer and more angular face. 

Can you style side bangs with a cowlick?

You can style side bangs with a cowlick, but it will take extra effort. A cowlick will cause your bangs to awkwardly stick out. You can avoid this by using heat styling to shape your bangs. If you don’t want to deal with daily maintenance, you can cut your bangs to be thick and long, which will weigh the cowlick down.
