28. Neck-Length Shag. These before and after pictures should convince girls with narrow faces to chop off their excess length and to cut a fringe with a shaggy finish for a cool and more balanced look.

Wispy bangs perfectly complement trendy haircuts for ladies. The lightly-feathered soft fringe instantly transforms your look, giving you a more youthful and sassy appearance. Haircuts with such detail nicely frame your face and soften strong jawlines, especially when you go for a style that flatters the shape of your face.

Here is our collection of images of beautiful hairstyles for you to make your pick from before heading to your hairstylist.

1. Layered Medium Hair. For a sultry and sexy tousled effect, opt for layered mid-length hair with a feathered wispy fringe. This style will easily disguise a large forehead and give you a stylish, chic look.

2. Crisp Wispy Fringe. Nothing spells sexy like face-framing feathered bangs. This sassy hairstyle is ideal for those who desire full fringes without the thickness of the classic bangs.

3. Thin Banged Hair. Soft and light feathered bangs with lots of texture are best for people with thin hair. The layers add volume and bounce to flat-looking hair. Feathered bangs with layers are your go-to if you’ve got delicate, wispy strands.

4. Curtain Fringes. Brigitte Bardot made this hairstyle famous in the 60s and now it’s hot again. Curtain bangs are usually long, layered, and center-parted, creating a sexy frame for your face with a focus on your eyes and cheekbones.

5. See-Through Front Strands. These go well with wavy hair. The feathered, wispy bangs at her brow exquisitely complement her wavy hair and chime in with the subtle highlights at the ends.

6. Messy Fringe Pieces. Messy is effortlessly cool, and nothing comes as close to chic as a messy wispy bangs haircut. For a gorgeous texture and sexy look, add lots of layers to your messy fringe.

7. Thinned-Out Fringes Apart from unfailingly directing attention to the eyes, this long and straight fringe echoes the piece-y texture around the ends of the hazelnut hair, yet in an airier version.

8. Long Messy Waves. Feminine and classic, the long wavy hairstyle with the right type of bangs is always a hit for both casual and formal outings. Messy wavy hair pairs well with wispy fringes.

9. Long Shag with Bangs. Do you want a thick yet airy front? Then go for this sassy and chic style that creates additional volume for your hair.

10. Balayage and Feathery Front. Update your long hair with a graduated color to add more dimension to your hairstyle. You’ll have delicate, natural-looking highlights with this technique.

11. Shoulder-Length Layers. Such haircuts soften your strong jawline and make you look younger. Go for this cut if you want to hide a big forehead and achieve a sultry look.

12. Side Swept Front. The side swoop makes the face appear more oval and a bit longer. This makes such haircuts suitable for people with round and heart-shaped faces. The layered fringe swept to the side creates an asymmetric effect that helps to elongate your face.

13. Thick Hair Lightweight Fringe. This light eye-grazing fringe does a great job of breaking up the density of the thick reddish-brown mane around the face and, together with the side layers, builds a cheekbone-boosting frame.

14. See-Through Highlighted Fringe. This style is like a nice flashback to the days when Rachel was everywhere, but the airy fringe and subtle highlights make it feel more relaxed and modern.

15. Thin Fringed Front. This haircut is perfect for a cute and charming aesthetic. Match it with different colors in highlights, and you’ll get a fascinating ‘do that only needs little maintenance.

16. Korean Fringe. Do you have fine hair? Such a haircut will help you make your hair appear fuller. If you’re not sure what color to try, go for red as it fits any skin tone! You only need to find what shade works best for you.

17. Long Banged Hair. This straight and choppy iteration of the trendy bottleneck fringe is made deep and lifted to lend extra height around the crown and save the girl from feeling weighed down.

18. Minty Blue Hairstyle. Here, front fringes are masterfully incorporated into a stunning face-framing scheme with a mix of mint blue and platinum highlights, light center pieces cut at varying lengths, and flipped-out edges along the face.

19. Flipped-Up Fringe. Excellent for square face shapes, this fringe will make your face look more proportional. Go for babylights and wavy styling to add more facets to your hair.

20. Shaggy Front Wisps. Here is how you can tailor a wispy fringe to your style — cut it shorter and chunkier to perfectly fit into your fresh shag.

21. Layered Thin Bangs. Long front fringes are great for the attention they give to the eyes, but they also can be annoying, so keep your lash-grazing fringe wispy and layered for both your comfort and a stylish look.

22. Greige Blonde Ombre. Getting longer toward the temples to hit and accentuate the cheekbones, these effortless eye-skimming fringes are kept soft to perfectly fit the dreamy ombre hairstyle.

23. See-Through Strands. Get thin front strands that go past your brows, but don’t get into your eyes. They are perfect for softening any strong features and showing off your enigmatic side.

24. Straight and Wingy Fringe. These straight one-length strands on the forehead provide a striking contrast to the thick, choppy, and heavily layered hair volumized by the 90s blowout.

25. Blonde Textured Lob. If your hair is on the thinner side, getting a deep fringe is a surefire way to add fullness to the front without the fringe feeling scarce.

26. Layered Ends. Along with the bouncy layers at the bottom, the choppiness of this brow-grazing fringe injects movement and texture into the straight hair, while its wispiness results in a better lift in the front.

27. A-Line Lob. Choose short hair and similar face-framing for a sophisticated look. The A-Line features a classic, feminine, and always appropriate cut. Pair it with face-framing strands and get an elegant, versatile hairdo.

28. Neck-Length Shag. These before and after pictures should convince girls with narrow faces to chop off their excess length and to cut a fringe with a shaggy finish for a cool and more balanced look.

29. Graduated Curtain Bangs. This cool girl rocks quite a thick curtain fringe, which suits her shaggy style handsomely and, at the same time, brings forward her beautiful cheekbones with the help of distinctive graduation.

30. Deep Straight Fringe. If you want to add fullness to the front of your hairstyle or balance a broad face, these deep piece-y fringes will do the job without overwhelming your look.

31. Long Shaggy Locks. Although typical curtain fringes are cut thicker and styled away from the face, leaving some shorter bits in the middle allows for both center parting and wearing the fringe straight.

32. Thick Banged Waves. Here is a fresh take on Farrah Fawcett’s hair, with the same volume and movement but more effortless and angled, including those wispy fringes blended into the face-framing layers.

33. Wavy Bob with Bangs. Surely, you will need a good texturizing product and a heat tool to recreate this cute look, but in the end, you will enjoy both the curtain effect and the layered length.

34. Blonde Front Money Pieces. It’s a good idea to emphasize the piece-y texture and airiness of your front strands with a few touches of a contrasting blonde chiming with the overall color scheme.

35. Side Part and a Fringe. These fairly straight front strands create a nice contrast with the crown hair combed over to one side, giving you some body in the front and lift at the top.

36. Soft Long See-Through Fringe. The next photo proves that wispy fringes work equally well to make a statement (when cut in harsher lines) and serve as a subtle but game-changing addition to your style (when softly textured).

37. Copper Wavy Shag. The shaggy layers of this style create fullness around the lower part of the face to balance out the small chin, and the short fringe draws attention to the eyes without building unwanted volume on the top.

38. Layers and Birkin Bangs. This messy face-framing made a bit angled at the edges and sparse at the ends offers a modern, wispier take on the iconic effortless fringe of the ‘60s.

39. Asymmetrical Swoop Fringe. It’s a nice idea to style your see-through fringe to one side and pull your top tresses to another side since you arrive at more volume in the front with no sweat.

40. Long Side Strands. Similar face-framing adds texture and interest to medium length, creating an illusion of volume and thickness. The chunky highlights bring a perfect finishing touch to this style.

If you’re looking to make a transition to a fringe but don’t really fancy thick, full types of it, the hairstyles mentioned above might just be exactly what you need.
