Bettie Bangs For Instant Pin Up Girl Glamour

Bangs have been making a comeback for a number of years now, and one style that is quickly gaining momentum are the baby bangs, also known as Bettie Page or Louise Brooks bangs.   

A bit of a throwback to the bombshells of their namesake, this hipster fringe is a mark of a girl who’s sassy and sexy and not afraid to stand out in a crowd. 

There are several variations on the basic Bettie bang, which has a bit of a dip in the center and a rounded appearance.

The Louise Brooks style bang marches short and straight across the middle of the forehead and lies very straight. 

Try out the pointier “V” shaped bang a la Liza Minnelli in “Cabaret,” which dips down in the center of the forehead and comes to a sharp point. 

Bettie bangs can be flattering with any number of hair styles, from one length long waves to a choppier layered shag. 

Go traditional with a just above the chin bob or funk it up with a short spiky ‘do.  Don’t be afraid to play with color, either. 

Emma Elizabeth is pictured to your right with her Bettie Bangs Emma wears a chin length bob that compliments her triangle face shape perfectly. This girl has pulled it all together with makeup and clothes for a knock out look. If you would like to submit your picture for this page please see below.

Try a little Technicolor injection in the bangs only, or an off-center stripe to play up the geometric, face-framing shape. 

Whatever style you’ve chosen, maintenance will play a big part into how long you keep your bangs looking hip.  Because the whole point is to keep ‘em short, you’ll need to commit to a regular trim approximately every two weeks. 

While it’s tempting to pick up those scissors on your own, it’s harder than it looks to get ‘em straight and even.

Like most banged hairstyles, it’s hard to walk out the house washed n’ going.  When bangs are freshly washed, you’ll want to blow-dry and maybe add a dollop of maximum hold mousse to help shape them. 

To get a rounded, slight curl to your bang, you can try a couple of methods. 

A single hot roller will do the trick, as will a curling iron. 
Even your trusty straightener can add that curl by smoothing the length of the bangs and then flipping it under a bit.  Finish with a shiny finishing spray.

If you’re a bit leery of taking the shortie bang plunge, there are ways to fake it as well.  Take the front of your hair and curl it around either a roller or a curling iron, and once the shape is made, pin the hair under in a slight curve and set with a bit of light hold spray. 

This technique can be tricky, but a little practice makes perfect!

When sporting a very short bang, clear skin and a well-groomed brow are a must.  Keep skin fresh and smooth by exfoliating regularly twice a week, and set those perfectly arched brows with a clear mascara. 

Once you’ve mastered your bangs, go all-the-way retro, and consider trying a bold red lip and a bare, shimmery eye with a swoosh of black liquid eyeliner. 
Have Fun!
