Why are bangs back in style?
“Bangs are the exclamation point to your hairstyle,” says celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin, and she’s not wrong. Research (and a quick scroll through Instagram) confirms they’re the fastest way to reinvent yourself without having to cut your hair. Plus, they bring more attention to your features: highlighting doe eyes, soften a strong jaw, or add a dash of mystery to any face shape.
It’s no surprise they’re everywhere: dominating Spring 2025 runways, popping up in fashion glossies, and turning heads at every A-list affair. And also, Google Trends shows a 40% spike in “bang inspiration” searches this year, and salons report a surge in fringe requests.
How to fake bangs without having to cut your own hair?
Not sold on a permanent cut? You don’t need to be. Here are some easy, reversible ways to fake bangs:
- The hair extensions method:
Clip-ins are the ultimate beauty cheat code, these clever hair pieces snap into place with tiny clips, blending seamlessly with your hair. “They’re freedom in the form of a fringe” says hairstylist Melissa Souza.
With a weft of hair extensions you can make your own custom bang pieces. Here’s a simple guide:
- Choose a smaller weft, like a three-clips piece, from your extension set.
- Trim it to your desired bang length, leaving extra for adjustments.
- Clip it in at the front and style it however you like.

- The high ponytail method.
- Pull your hair into a high ponytail.
- Drag the ends forward over your forehead to your desired bang length.
- Pin them in place with bobby pins, tucking the ends under the ponytail base.
- Let the rest of your hair fall over to hide the pins, then style as needed.

- Hair toppers with bangs.
“The volume-and-fringe duo.”
Hair toppers with bangs are partial hairpieces designed to address thinning hair, particularly at the crown and front hairline, by adding volume and coverage. They feature built-in bang or fringe sections, crafted from either real human hair, and are engineered to blend seamlessly with natural hair. This blending creates a natural, full and youthful appearance. Unlike full wigs, hair toppers focus on targeted areas, which offer a discreet and comfortable option for enhancing hair appearance.
Irresistible Me has launched a new line of hair toppers with bangs that can be added in seconds and give a boost of volume with bangs.
Why Bangs Are Your Next Move.
A little fringe goes a long way, and in 2025, bangs are all about breaking rules and reinventing ourselves. Low risk, high reward, and totally doable. So why not try it? A little fringe might just be the shake-up your look’s been waiting for.
