Which Fringe Is Most Fabulous on Rooney Mara?

Jaime Richards — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 10:41:00 PST

Rooney Mara famously colored her hair black and got baby bangs for her role as Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. But even though the film has long wrapped, she has continued to sport an edgy coiffure, complete with severe, blunt bangs. While Rooney has consistently been wearing her hair back while making the promotional rounds for the flick, it's her famous fringe that she often switches up. In fact, over the past three days, she's been seen wearing three different face-framing looks: split, slicked to the side, and ultra straight. All have a fashionable feel, but if you had to pick, which one wins out?

Celebrities may be lopping several inches of their hair off to get the trendy tousled bob, but it seems they're also taking those shears to their bangs. In this past week alone, three stars have debuted brand-new fringe: Alexa Chung, Taylor Swift, and Rachel Weisz. It's interesting to note that all opted for wispy versions of the style (bye-bye blunt?), but if you had to choose, which one looks the most banging, who would it be?

5 Ways to Wear the Blunt Bang Trend

Jaime Richards — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 11:57:30 PDT

Back in the '80s, there were claw bangs and, in the '90s, it seemed like everyone had baby bangs. And these days, it seems to be all about another kind of dramatic fringe: the blunt bang. Just because you go for a straight-across style doesn't mean you don't have other ways-to-wear-it options. Here are five stars proving that blunt bangs really do have an edge - more than just literally.

Fringe Benefits: The Most Flattering Bangs For Your Face Shape

Jaime Richards — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 06:00:55 PDT

When it comes to haircuts, one of the main goals is to choose a style that complements your bone structure, and when it comes to bangs, a similar approach rings true. "There are so many styles of bangs: short, over the eyebrows; long under the eyebrows; blunt; layered; tapered around the face; and asymmetric," explains Lavette Slater, The View's key hairstylist. But if you have a small forehead, for instance, full-on bangs can tend to hide your mug. If that's the case, Slater recommends parted or layered fringe feathered off of the face. Check out the rest of tips for getting the best bangs for your particular face shape when you keep reading.

Trend Alert: '70s-Style, Bowl-Cut Bangs

Jaime Richards — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 04:10:00 PDT

A few years back, it seemed that bowl haircuts were about to make a comeback. And while the trend never seemed to take off, perhaps bowl cut-style bangs are the next best thing. Recently, Three's Company, Chrissy Snow-type fringe has been seen on the likes of Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Mena Suvari. Shorter and straight in middle and longer on the ends, call the look a blunt bang/bowl bang hybrid, if you will. But most importantly, will you be knocking on the door of this trend?

A Truly Painless Way to Grow Out Your Bangs

Jaime Richards — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 06:04:04 PDT

If you've ever tried to grow out your bangs (or your hairstyle for that matter), then you'll know it can truly be a pain. But there's an easier way to get through the long, often awkward process.

"To grow out fringe, work with your stylist to thin it out," explains Jen McGann, the director of cosmetology at Tricoci University of Beauty Culture. "Really texturize it and take some of the perimeter weight out on the bottom." This technique will help remove weight, allowing you to use a texturizing or smoothing product to help sweep the bangs to the side. Then, once they begin to grow out further, simply part the bangs, allowing them to grow around your face.
