Trendsetters worldwide are eager to announce the “decline” of the short, cropped bob era, and the resuscitation of another hair trend old for centuries – the bangs are back again, and lots of celebrities and beauty icons have already embraced the idea. Among them, Reese Witherspoon, Tyra Bancks, Cameron Diaz, Jessica Alba, and countless others are introducing to the wide public their newest hairstyles.

To start with, even those who don't have Rapunzel's hair can still go for one of the bang styles “pacing” the streets. The benefits of wearing them are impressive, as they can change your everyday appearance into a youthful, fresh look, adding some mystery and charm to your eyes. Pretty much like the fabulous Audrey Hapburn, the queen of bangs of all times. You can get a complete change in just a few righteous “cuts,” easy to maintain, and as adorable as fall tendencies themselves.

The ones bold enough and able to put up with an edgier hairstyle should try some girlish blunt bangs, those thick short straight ones Tyra Banks has been successfully advertising lately. For a more mature look, there are the rounded fringes, a bit longer on the sides, perfect for those with a square-shape type of face.

If you're looking for a feminine look, simple yet sophisticated, then you should definitely choose the side-swept bangs that can easily flatter each and every face shape and all hair lengths, especially the long one. The wispy fringes Audrey herself  wore are the most versatile. It's entirely up to you if you're willing to show them to the world, or hide them in your hair.

You can play with your bangs as much as you like, and ad some spice to your natural look. Wear them with ponytail and get sure you're allowing them to delicately flirt with your cheeks. No matter if your face is round or heart-shaped, or if your hair is medium or long, you can still try some thick fringes, just a bit shorter than the rest of your hair, to create the impression of an oval, slim expression.
