Bangs can be a lifesaver for older women who want to update their appearance with style and elegance. Whether wispy and soft or blunt and bold, bangs can elegantly frame the face, soften lines on the forehead, and impart a youthful glow. Combined with the proper haircut—a bob, pixie, or layered cut—bangs provide a chic and contemporary spin to timeless hairstyles.
1. Beach Waves with Full Forehead Bangs
Sleek textured waves with bold, full bangs. This relaxed yet chic style features undone, piecey waves combined with a dramatic fringe for a fresh, young look. The bangs soften the face while the waves create volume and flow.
2. Straightened Hair with Face-Framing Bangs
Slim, pointed strands with a fringe that compliments. A shiny, straightened base is given a sleek makeover with full, face-framing bangs. The tension between the sleek length and soft fringe is balanced, ideal for fine or thinning hair.
3. Soft Wavy Lob with Curtain Bangs
Collarbone-length waves with a romantic, parted fringe. This style that flatters everyone has loose, touchable waves and curtain bangs that merge smoothly into the layers.
4. Curtain Bangs with Long Layered Hair
Face-framing fringe and flowing layers blend together. Cascading layers update long hair for a new look, paired with wispy curtain bangs. The layers take weight off for movement, while the bangs accentuate cheekbones.
5. Choppy Layers with Wispy Bangs
This trendy cut has choppy, piece-y layers all over for most volume and movement, combined with wispy, delicate bangs that break up the forehead. The choppy texture does a miracle to give body to thinning hair without losing a sleek, modern, youthful feel.
6. Angled Bob with Clean Full Forehead Bangs
A pointed, graduated bob that's shorter in the back and longer in front forms a clean, face-framing line. Combined with blunt, full bangs, the style is dramatic yet still sophisticated.
7. High Ponytail with Chinese Face-Framing Bangs
A smooth high ponytail receives a trendy makeover with wispy, face-framing bangs cut in the Chinese "peek-a-boo" manner. This style raises facial features as the delicate bangs bring movement around the cheeks and jawline.
8. Hollywood Waves with Wispy Bangs
Elegant, flowing waves are matched with thread-thin wispy bangs for a lighter interpretation of Old Hollywood glamour. The waves provide volume and romance, but the almost-invisible bangs make the style youthful and fresh.
9. Rockstar GF Bob with Bangs
A chin-length, razored bob with piece-y, textured bangs. The ends are jagged for movement, the layers are shaggy but polished, and the bangs are thick enough to make a statement but soft at the edges.
10. Loose Bob with Wispy Bangs
A collarbone-length bob with barely-there waves and featherlight bangs that soften the face. The kind of hair that looks amazing air-dried.
11. Caramel Highlight Bob with Face-Frame Bangs
Smooth, shoulder-length bob with buttery caramel highlights and bangs that taper at the cheeks to lighten the complexion. The highlights provide depth, while face-framing pieces add a youthful boost.
12. Very Wavy Bob with Very Choppy Bangs

13. Loose Wave Lob with Bangs
A long bob (lob) with soft, brushed-out waves and blunt bangs for a retro-meets-now look. The type of hair that is fabulous with red lips and a leather jacket.
14. Clean-Cut Bob with Fringy Bangs
A sleek, one-length bob with micro-fringe bangs that rest just above the brows. The difference between the streamlined length and wispy fringe is chef's kiss.
15. Caramel Brown Bob with Bangs
A luxurious, caramel-brown bob (mid-length or shorter) with full, blended bangs that make eyes pop. The golden tones light up mature skin, and the bangs provide a flirtatious touch.
Bang hairstyles are a classic choice for mature women seeking a flattering, current, and ageless look. Whether it's curtain bangs or side-swept bangs, there's a bang style that will work for all face shapes and hair types. With the proper cut and some styling, bangs can accentuate your features and add a bold, trendy touch to your overall look.
