New year. New you. There’s no better way to kickstart the new year than with a new hairstyle. You don’t have to chop off your hair or go for a daring color to try something new. Your bangs are one of the easiest – and quickest – ways to transform your appearance. Bold bangs are a hair trend everyone is talking about for 2022 and for good reason.

Whether you’ve got a pixie cut or Rapunzel-length hair, blunt bangs work for almost everyone. We’re covering everything you need to know about this hair trend and how you can style this look. If you’re thinking of changing up your look for the new year, why not try out blunt bangs?

What are bold bangs?

Bold bangs are exactly that. They’re full, load, and unapologetically feminine. These bangs have a blunt and sharp cut that isn’t feathered at the ends. Your bangs fall across your forehead as straight as possible. If you have naturally straight or thicker hair, bold bangs are your best friends.

What we love about these blunt bangs is that they’re a more sophisticated look. They work for everyone from their 20s to 50s. It’s all about how you style them. Bold bangs look best on oval face shapes, but they work for almost everyone. Your stylist can alter these bangs for you by creating an arch to help elongate your face.

How to style your bold bangs

The best way to keep your bold bangs looking fresh is to give skin the TLC it needs during winter. Blunt bangs frame your face and bring attention to your t-zone, meaning you’ll want to stay on top of your skincare routine. The Timexpert SRNS Repair Night Progress Mask is our go-to overnight treatment that helps protect your skin during winter and fights against premature aging.

When you’re styling your bold bangs day-to-day, you can get adventurous with your look. While sleek straight hair is a classic look, it isn’t the only one you can try. As the season starts to change, embrace your hair’s natural texture, and have fun with wavy bold bangs and your natural curls. A curl mousse can help you achieve a softer yet structured look to your waves.

If you’re a fan of laidback looks, blunt bangs are the style for you. You can experiment with textured and messy hairstyles for the ultimate “I woke up like this” look.

What to consider when choosing blunt bangs

While we love blunt bangs, it’s worth considering that they’re not low maintenance. The key to this look is to keep your bangs looking blunt and shapely. You’ll want to book in for regular appointments to keep your bangs looking fresh. Dry shampoo will also be your best friend to keep your bangs looking fresh.

Depending on how quickly your hair grows, you may need to have your bangs cut every three weeks. Bold bangs and flawless skin will give you a classic Parisian look for heading into spring. Ready to give the trend a try? Book an appointment with one of our stylists today.
