Adding bangs to medium-length hair is akin to placing a cherry atop an ice cream sundae — it completes your look. Whether you have curly locks, straight tresses, or something in between, here are the most adorable ways to style shoulder-length hair with bangs!
#1: Trendy Wavy Brown Hair with Center-Parted Bangs
Elevate your style with edgy choppy ends. Instruct your stylist to maintain a chin-length cut with layers that add dimension and frame your face beautifully. Request long, sweeping bangs and textured ends for a stylish look that showcases versatility. Consider using a light-hold styling cream to enhance movement and keep your hairstyle looking impeccable!
#2: Vibrant Blowout with Bangs and Layers
If you’re unsure about your next hairstyle, consider a lovely, vibrant blowout. It’s incredibly effortless and suitable for any occasion, day or night. This is a look you can rock all week, from the office to a night out with friends. This cut is also stunning if you appreciate plenty of layers and volume, complementing various face shapes like oval, square, round, or heart!
#3: Textured Blonde Locks with Curtain Bangs
Longer bangs provide a striking change if you desire a totally fresh look without sacrificing too much length. Incorporating texture into your bangs and letting them graze your eyebrows creates a playful yet sophisticated vibe while accentuating your eyes.
Long layers that cascade just beyond your shoulders, paired with a reliable styling product, allow your hair’s natural texture to maintain most of the form. I’ve found curtain bangs on medium-length hair achieve the best results when blow-dried with minimal effort. Rough drying them straight down helps them appear sleek while preserving any cowlicks. This technique enables them to part effortlessly to frame your eyes.
#4: Flexible Angled Side Bangs
Long side-swept straight bangs are an excellent, adaptable choice for any medium-length hairstyle. You can choose to let them down for a playful look or sweep and secure them to the side to keep them away from your face.
#5: Rich Copper Lived-In Hairstyle
If you’re feeling inspired to update your hair color, the rich copper palette could be the perfect choice for you. Don’t forget to enhance the new shade with a fresh hairstyle. A lived-in cut features long layers while maintaining a polished perimeter. New accent details can vary from fringe to face-framing pieces. It ultimately depends on what suits you best in collaboration with your stylist.
#6: Casual Wavy Hair with Bangs
Full, textured waves are ideal for oblong face shapes as they create a sense of width. The bangs also assist in reducing the perceived length of your face, highlighting your beautiful eyes and facial features.
#7: Stylish Razor Shag with Textured Fringe
Discover a stylish razor shag paired with a textured fringe if you’re looking to experiment with trendy shoulder-length haircuts featuring bangs. Enhance your hair’s texture using various techniques. Employ a razor cut to create soft, textured ends that boost hair movement. For your bangs, follow the shape of your face and eyebrows to achieve a more defined texture that accentuates your eyes beautifully.
#8: Retro Bangs with a Center Part
Try a short, dark brunette textured bob with a gentle curtain fringe. The highlight of this cut is undoubtedly the fringe. The curtain fringe pays a contemporary tribute to 70’s icons like Farrah Fawcett and Stevie Nicks. The length of this style is quite adaptable. It creates an illusion of volume if your hair is on the thinner side. For those with thicker locks, incorporating short layers can add fun to this length while reducing bulk. The curtain fringe commands attention here because it emphasizes the eye/cheek area and subtly broadens your face, forming a more diamond shape. This style is ideal for round or oval faces but can be customized for other face shapes. The options for styling are endless.
#9: Chic Medium Hair with Side-Swept Bangs
The brighter bang and face frame add a touch of flair, while the lob gives your hair a fuller look. Styling is more efficient because this style can be smoothed or curled without wasting time. Lobs are easily pulled back into a ponytail, and they reduce blow dry and styling duration. The cut creates volume without being overly heavy, and with the right texturizing products, it can be transformed into a beach wave style. Try Oribe’s Dry Texture Spray!
#10: Trendy Angled Bangs with Layered Texture
Opt for a sleek long bob with bangs. Ask your stylist to slide cut a long “V” for your fringe, then blow-dried your fringe forward and to the side to define the side-swept. It requires blow-drying, curling the hair, and going to the salon for maintenance every 5-7 weeks.
#11: Chic Bangs for Oval Face Shapes
Explore a contemporary approach to a timeless style. The extra-long lob has been my go-to hairstyle for quite some time because of its adaptability. This style is most flattering on medium-thick, straight to wavy hair. If your hair is curly and you prefer not to blow it out, I wouldn’t suggest this particular cut. A texture product is essential for achieving this appearance. I used R+Co Sail. When styled with heat, spray on your dry hair and let it settle. Alternatively, apply on damp hair and allow it to air dry.
#12: Vibrant Angled Bangs with Layered Texture
Enhance your features with sleek angled bangs and flowing long layers. For added texture and definition, consider using Aveda’s Light Elements Defining Whip.
#13: Stylish Inverted Bob with Bangs and Luminous Highlights
Consult with your stylist about using a razor for an effortlessly sleek haircut that you can easily style on your own. This look is adaptable for various hair types. If your hair is thicker, you might require more time to style it. On the other hand, if your hair is finer and cut appropriately, it can be quite low-maintenance. While blow-drying, a bit of hand-over direction can help this cut settle perfectly.
#14: Charming & Adorable Baby Bangs
These delightful bangs elevate your appearance. It’s also the kind of bangs that you’d want to opt for if you’re not keen on the upkeep regular bangs demand.
#15: Trendy Shag Cut with Bold Bangs
This style is perfect for an edgy everyday look. The bold bangs introduce an element of flair while remaining practical for daily wear. If you are thinking about trying this style, consider which length of the cut and bangs would suit you best. Reflect on the features you’d like to highlight. Whether opting for a dramatic bang or a softer look, consult your stylist about which bang shape would complement you most.
#16: Trendy Bangs for Round-Shaped Faces
If you’re seeking a simple, effortless hairstyle, a tousled shoulder-length cut offers a rejuvenating style. Additionally, straight curtain bangs can enhance and elongate your round face.
#17: Charming Wispy Bangs
Try a delightful and effortless summery look. It has long layers that blend in beautifully, and the bangs serve as a stunning feature that draws attention to your eyes at that length. For bangs, especially if it’s your first time with them, I suggest combing down and styling them before you style the rest of your hair.
#18: Chic Straight Hair with Blunt Bangs
Try a look that is stylish and refined with a touch of edge. There is a lot to discuss when it comes to bangs and a bob. The first thing to remember when deciding to get bangs or not is your face shape. A bang can help reduce the overall face length when you have a long face. If you have a round face, the perfect bob length would be below the chin, keeping all your hair the same length on the sides to make your eyes and cheekbones pop.
#19: Classic Medium Choppy Bangs
If you have shoulder-length hair, you can style elegant straight bangs. If you’re unsure about which look to combine with it, a tousled, choppy cut is always a dependable option.
#20: Gentle Textured Fringe
Straight-across bangs can appear harsh if they are cut too bluntly. Have your stylist add texture to the ends for a softer and more effortless look. To enhance volume and lift, consider using Aveda’s Phomoillent.
#21: Charming Medium Layered Haircut with Side Bangs
Still unsure about which haircut to choose? Consider a medium-layered haircut with side bangs! This universally flattering style looks fabulous on any face shape, hair color, or texture.

I would describe this hairstyle as a layered mid-length shag. My favorite aspect of this cut is most definitely the bangs. They lay so effortlessly and pull the entire style together! This style will enhance your look if you have medium to finer hair. Use Kevin Murphy Bedroom.Hair to finish off your style. It gives it that lived-in finish, making your hair movable while maintaining separation and texture.

#24: Effortlessly Curly Bangs
If you have curly hair, opt for effortlessly curly bangs! You can embrace your natural curls and show them off in a fun way. For being so effortless, they make a big statement. Ask your stylist to cut your bangs on the long side because we all know how much curly hair bounces. Also, styling product is key. It would be best to have a good curl cream that will de-frizz your hair while holding your curls in place. It should look soft to the touch and not crunchy.
#25: Medium-Length Brunette Ringlets with Fringes
Medium-length brunette ringlets with fringes are a contemporary tribute to the 80s. It provides an ideal shape for height and lift while maintaining length at the ends. If you’re interested in a shag, but your hair type isn’t suited for the shape, consider incorporating heavy fringes. Then, introduce some crown layering for a similar effect. If your hair is naturally voluminous, opt for longer layers overall with a subtle curtain fringe instead.
#26: Bettie Bangs Combined with Shaggy Layers
I adore the interplay between the Bettie Bang and the shaggy layers in this lob. The bangs truly stand out for me. Request your stylist to use neck trimmers for a crisp and blunt finish. This style is easier to manage than you might think. The only section that needs blow-drying is the bangs! Air-dry the remainder of your hair with a product like R+Co’s Wave Spray to promote a beachy texture, then refine a few strands with a curling iron for added separation if desired.
#27: Harmonious Curls with Delicate Curly Fringe
For heart-shaped faces, shoulder-length curls with framing layers are essential. Aim to keep your curls airy and gentle. Your layers add some definition around the jawline. You’ll want to request a dry cut to achieve this style. Using minimal to no tension. When you finish applying the product, diffuse your hair upside down if possible. Then, scrunch it once it has formed a completely dry shell.
#28: Seamless Haircut with Bangs
I love how this collarbone-length haircut can enhance your round face to create the illusion of a more oval shape, and I also appreciate how the bangs beautifully frame your look. To achieve this style, use the Medium Texture Paste by Davines to prep your hair while wet. Blowdry with a large round brush in large sections to add volume to your roots. Keep your bangs straight, but set the rest of your hair with a 1 1/4-inch barrel curling iron to add waves. Next, lightly spray the curls with Davines Dry Texture Spray to help your fine hair hold the waves without making it sticky. Using a wide-tooth tortoise comb, gently break up the waves to give them some playfulness and texture. To finish the look, mist your hair with a light, flexible hairspray and shake it out.
#29: Copper Hair with Flowing Bangs
Have you seen this copper with flowing bangs hairstyle? This shoulder-length layered hair with bangs features a copper hue that complements a cool skin tone and dark eye color. One advantage of this copper shade is its brilliance. It can be preserved at home with a color conditioner in your wash routine. The conditioner infuses color pigments into your hair, ensuring shiny and vibrant locks. Together with a 10-12 week trim, root retouch, and gloss, your hair will appear fabulous daily.

#32: Bold Layered Style with Bangs
Opt for a bolder take on a contemporary shag. If your hair color is natural, encourage your stylist to enhance the shape of your cut. This will enable your stylist to carve out ample shape and movement with a razor, making hand-styling with a diffuser and a rich cream extremely effortless. The cut is significantly layered around your face, accentuating your cheekbones, and the bangs beautifully frame your eyes. It’s an incredibly low-maintenance hairstyle that can air dry naturally or be swiftly hand-styled by working a cream into your hair to highlight a natural wave pattern while diffusing at a low setting.

Opt for a cut featuring face-framing layers with longer sections in the back. My favorite aspect of this cut is how the feathered layers can highlight various features of your face. This style will maintain its shape for a considerable time and practically styles itself.
#40: Refined Bronde Shag
Not only is this style classic (think Brigitte Bardot), but it can be styled either straight or wavy. You can wear it in its natural form or opt for a voluminous blowout.

What I adore about this look is the entire 60’s aesthetic of the straight fringe and blonde locks. This hair length is relatively low maintenance. It features minimal layers, making it ideal for those with fine hair seeking the illusion of fullness. Begin your styling routine with a heat-protectant product, such as the Nioxin Therm Activ spray, and blow-dry smoothly with a brush or use a flat iron. The fringe will need styling with a round or flat paddle brush and a blow dryer. It’s incredibly quick and convenient if you often wear your hair up or lead a busy lifestyle!
#45: Beautiful Curls with Flattering Side Bangs
Soft tousled curly hairstyles with bangs provide an ideal blend of texture and volume! Experiment with these beautiful medium curls with flattering side bangs to highlight your prominent cheekbones.

Pair your gentle bangs with a timeless square bob that just grazes your shoulders. To enhance the blend from the bangs to the bob, gently curve your hair at the cheekbone with a flat iron. This style is ideally suited for straight to wavy textures. If you have cowlicks at the front, blow-dry your bangs from side to side while they are damp to help break the wave. For thicker hair, incorporating layers can infuse lightness and texture into your bob. Maintaining a single length generally complements most face shapes, but if your face is round or requires elongation, consider requesting a cut that is slightly longer in the front.
