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:
#1: Chin-Length Blunt Bob with Semi-Short Bangs
Unlike the classic bob, this chin-length blunt cut is updated with semi-short bangs. This makes it the perfect option to show off your heart face shape. Best suited to those with thick hair, this style looks great when left to its natural texture. Or, it can be tamed with a round brush and medium-hold styling product. It’s great to show off your features while keeping length and volume through the ends. The best way to achieve added definition is to use a small curling iron to create loose waves. Consider a light-hold hairspray to create a hold with flexibility.
#2: Waves with Full Short Fringe
A full, heavy, short fringe can frame your face, creating openness. If you have petite features, this look can be further enhanced with dramatically arched eyebrows. Team this style with distressed waves to add texture and movement. Start by drying your fringe first. Move the dryer back and forth across your forehead to encourage your hair to lay smooth and flat.
#3: Razor Graduated Bob with Short Bangs
The modern-cut, versatile razor graduated bob with short bangs adds dimension and movement to your hair. A razor creates soft, textured ends, giving the style an effortless, undone look. The short bangs of the bob not only frame the face but also add a trendy touch to the overall look. Graduated bobs with bangs suit ladies with straight or slightly wavy hair looking for a low-maintenance yet stylish option. To style it, apply a volumizing mousse or texturizing spray to damp hair and blow-dry it using a round brush, directing the hair to curl under.
#4: Soft and Blunt Bangs
The bangs, both soft and blunt, make any short hairstyle elegant. These bangs have clean, straight lines for a sleek, soft look. A blunt cut for these bangs highlights the eyes and frames the face. These soft and blunt bangs suit round or square faces as they create balance and slim the face. To style, I recommend blow-drying the bangs with a round brush to achieve a smooth and sleek finish. Add a light mist of hairspray so you can help keep the bangs in place throughout the day.
#5: Very Short Bangs on a Long Hairstyle
Having short bangs with a long hairstyle gives you a modern and multi-use look. Long hair length implies elegance and femininity. Short bangs convey a youthful vibe. This combination is perfect for those who want to experiment with their style without going for a complete transformation. Short bangs help highlight facial features and add flair to an overall look. For styling this haircut, use a small amount of cream on damp hair, and pay extra attention to the bangs for added texture and control.
#6: Messy Mullet Shag with Micro Bangs
The messy mullet shag with micro bangs is a funky and daring choice. This edgy hairstyle combines elements of a mullet and a shag, resulting in a unique look. The messy texture adds a rebellious and carefree 80s vibe, and the micro bangs bring a bold focal point to the face.
#7: Wispy Layers and the Cutest Bangs
Wispy layers and the cutest short bangs will create a soft and feminine look perfect for those wanting a fresh and playful hairstyle. The wispy layers add movement and texture, while the short bangs frame the face and draw attention to the eyes. This haircut works well for women with different hair types and face shapes, as it can be customized to suit individual preferences. Try to get your hair cut every 6 weeks to keep it looking fresh!
#8: Shoulder-Length Crop with Choppy Shorter Bangs
If you have thin, fine hair, try having a shoulder-length crop and shorter bangs. Request your stylist to keep most of your hair’s weight at the bottom, add less layering, and apply more texture. These steps help maintain the hair’s fullness and prevent it from getting too wispy at the ends. Suggest to your stylist to dry-cut or style your hair before adding texture. This way, they can see how your hair lays and where texture is needed. For an added touch, try adding some curls and a light texture spray for more separation and definition.
#9: Long Layered Hair with Short Uneven Bangs
Looking for something quirky and fun? Try this long layered hair with short, uneven bangs. A haircut like this lets you keep long hair on the fun side with a textured bang. This adds a mix to your same ol’ long-haired style. If you can, use a 1-inch curling iron through the ends to create a soft wave. They will last you a few days for a perfectly effortless look.
#10: Short and Thin Bangs
For women who want to switch up their look, neck-length cuts with short and thin bangs can be a great option. The bangs add texture and visual interest. All while the shorter length keeps the hair from becoming weighed down. This style works especially well for women with round or heart-shaped faces. Invest in good salon professional products to keep this cut looking its best. Start by using lightweight styling products that won’t weigh down your hair. Start by applying a volumizing foam to damp hair, then blow-dry with a round brush to add volume and shape. Finish off with a lightweight hairspray to hold the style in place without feeling stiff or crunchy.
#11: Short and Thick Straight Bangs
I suggest you try these short thick bangs if you love a short fringe! This is a great option if you already have bangs and you’re committed. Don’t forget to talk with your stylist about styling products to control your bangs.
#12: Ice White Pixie Mullet with Choppy Fringe
This ice white pixie mullet with choppy fringe is guaranteed to bring out your inner magic. It’s the best cut for low maintenance for everyday styling. You can let this grow out and change the style easily. 6-8 weeks haircuts are necessary to keep the shape.
#13: Bright Orange Blunt Cut with Very Short Fringe
Here’s a bright orange blunt cut with a very short fringe. You probably have a smaller face shape when you can pull off a micro bang. You will want to avoid going too short if you have a long or long face shape. If your hair is curly, remember how much hair shrinks when going short.
#14: White Thin Hair with Short Curved Bangs
Consider a white thin hair texture with short curved bangs. If you have finer aging hair, ask for a blunt textured bob for a modern style with fullness. Wearing a thinker fringe on fine hair gives you fullness and nicely shapes your face.
#15: The Cutest Salt and Pepper Pixie with Short Fringe
My number one pick for you older ladies with a longer set forehead is short hair pixie with baby bangs. This low-maintenance look is the best way to frame your face in a flattering way. It emphasizes your features without overwhelming them. The length of the bangs should be kept above brow level to give the illusion of a shorter forehead. If you have fine or thinning hair, this look can work wonders for you as it does not add too much volume on top. To keep those bangs tame, use my favorite product. Redken Control Hairspray 28 works great after styling them!
#16: Sleek A-Line Bob with Very Short Rounded Bangs
A pivoted a-line with straight bangs is a great hairdo for women with long faces. It’s a modern look that adds a bit of structure to your face, making it look less drawn out. To get the most out of this look, you’ll want to ask for your hair to be dry cut to the exact length and shape that suits your face. You’ll also want to use a good styling product, like a molding paste or wax. Both add texture to your hair and help keep the shape intact. If you keep it trimmed regularly, you’ll avoid losing shape.
#17: Before and After 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 and you’re considering growing out a shorter cropped cut, this 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.
#18: Razor Cut Shag with Micro Bangs
With its modern and edgy look, the razor-cut shag with micro bangs is a style when you want to make an impact. It’s great for those who want that extra texture and volume without committing to a full-on fringe. And, it can easily be dressed up or down if you choose. An experienced hairstylist with technical expertise will help create this look. This way, it suits your face shape and complements your features.
#19: Trendy Shaggy Mullet with Short Rounded Bangs
A trendy shaggy mullet with short rounded bangs has been a popular style for a reason. It’s the best way to get an edgy, modern look without having to sacrifice length! I advise asking your stylist for a layered cut that’ll give you lots of volume and texture. To keep it looking fresh, using styling products like mousse or sea salt sprays are ideal. I recommend Rabbit Brush Goods, Shag spray for light hold, and all-natural ingredients. To finish, blow dry your bangs forward for more of a lived-in look.
#20: Cute Messy Bob with Choppy Short Bangs
Try a trending cute short bangs look if you’re wanting an edgy style with a sophisticated spin. My best advice is to ask for a messy bob with choppy layers. This style is perfect for women with fine to medium hair that has a bit of a wave to it. Ask your stylist for long layers at the crown with shorter layers around your eyes and cheeks. For styling, I recommend Oribe Soft Mousse before blow-drying your hair in sections. It helps to create texture and volume. Finish off with L’Oreal Elnett Hairspray to keep it in place without being too stiff.
#21: Textured Angled Bob with Micro Fringe
If you’re looking for a modern and edgy look, consider the textured angled bob with a micro fringe. This style is perfect for those who want to make a statement. And you can do so without sacrificing comfort and convenience. Ask your stylist for layers that are slightly longer in the front and shorter at the back. It will help to create volume and movement. Avoid using too much product, as this will weigh down the texture of your hair. To enhance natural shine, use a lightweight styling cream or serum!
#22: Long Straight Hair with Baby Fringe
Your texture plays a huge part when you are considering a new style. This will help you decide if you will plan to change your routine. If so, shift to daily thermal styling or low effort, refreshes. Long straight hair with baby bangs wears best on women with naturally smooth hair. It then creates low maintenance. Whereas, having some texture in the hair would call for a different approach.
#23: Edgy Silver Bob with Edgy Short Fringe
An edgy silver bob with an edgy short fringe is a perfect shape for the creative woman. A style that’s a bit unconventional is best for a unique and fearless person. Typically, haircuts that have strong angles or edges require frequent maintenance. In order to keep up with the short fringe, a 4 to 6-week time frame is recommended.
#24: Beautiful Makeover with Short Fringe
If you’re tired of your old look, go for a beautiful style with short fringe. Going for a big chop is always the best way to bring life back into your locks. My advice to bring a bit of an edge is to try a micro short fringe. Chipping into the ends will give your hair the trendy cool-girl vibe you have been looking for.
#25: Pastel Silver Pixie with Short Fringe
Nothing looks as cool as a short pixie cut in a cool silver hue. My best advice is to always go to a professional for a color like this. You really need to eliminate warm tones. This can be hard to manage at home, while maintaining the condition of your hair. A strong short fringe is balanced with soft textured layering. It’s your best bet for a feminine but fierce look. Style your hair with a matte textured paste for a trendy finish.
#26: Black Hair with Bright Red Short Bangs
Black hair with bright red short bangs is definitely an edgier style fit for an adventurous woman. Dyeing your hair a fun color can be a great way for self-expression and exploration. One of the easiest ways to incorporate color blocking is by framing your face with it. Adding a bold tone to your bangs is simple, yet makes a statement.
#27: Razored Long Hair with Extra Short Fringe
Razored long hair with extra short fringe is a modern twist on a shag. When using a razor be sure to use a fresh blade for each guest. Razor blades get dull fast and can wreak havoc on hair’s cuticle. To maintain the best hair quality, angle your razor at 45 degrees when cutting. Cutting straight into hair or hacking hair can cause damage and instant split ends.
#28: Two-Toned Hair and Bangs
Two-toned hair and bangs is an elevated way to accent your hair color. In my experience, when you highlight the level of care shifts. You’ll want to keep it healthy so that you don’t have breakage.

Light brown hair with baby bangs and choppy layers can be a safe option for you if you’re a fan of the punk-rock style. If you’re confused about how short to go with the fringe, the best way for you to know is to book a consultation before your actual haircut appointment.
#30: Jaw-Length French Bob with Micro Fringe
One of the best styles to show off your eyes and cheekbones is a jaw-length French bob paired with a micro fringe. Ask your stylist if you can blend your micro bangs into the bob to create a soft roundness around your eyes, while also hiding any fine lines of wrinkles in that area. If you have finer hair, go for a blunt cut instead of layers, but ask for lots of texture for volume and movement.
#31: Cute Bob Cut with Wispy Thin Bangs
Micro bangs are a huge trend. They can make any haircut look edgy. I highly recommend that you talk to your stylist in depth before you decide to cut these. If your hair has any cowlicks in the front it will make these bangs stand straight up. So, ask your stylist to be sure they will work for you.
#32: Jet Black Pixie with Very Short Choppy Bangs
Pixie cuts can be very flattering and quite easy to do at home as long as you maintain your shape. For my clients with cuts like this, I suggest that they get it cut every 5-6 weeks if you can. Don’t forget to get a wax or pomade for easy styling at home.
#33: Jet Black Shag with Micro Bangs
A jet black shag with micro bangs is for the elder emos and alt girlies. It’s a haircut that has made a comeback and looks best with a tousled, messy style. If you can, ask your stylist to use a razor when cutting the interior layers and micro bangs. Thinning shears will also help take out any unwanted bulk in your hair. Your best bet is to find a hairstylist that feels comfortable with edgy haircuts and using a razor.
#34: Medium-Length Auburn Shag
Walk on the wild side with a medium-length auburn shag. Ask your stylist to brighten up your color with a bold red and add some shaggy long layers with a strong bang.

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.
