I’ve always believed that bangs have a little magic to them.
They can frame the face just right, soften your features, and add that fresh spark to any hairstyle.
Once I hit my seventies, I started playing around more with different cuts and found that bangs made everything feel a bit more stylish without trying too hard.
Some days I go for soft and wispy, and others I love a bold, full fringe.
If you’re anything like me and love finding new ways to keep things fun and flattering, these hairstyle ideas might just spark your next look.
