It's a myth that bangs don't work on everyone.

While face shape and hair texture are often two major factors that influence the decision to get or steer clear of bangs, certain styles, like wispy bangs, are one-size-fits-all. This look is both universal and low-maintenance — as far as fringes go.

Wispy bangs are exactly what they sound like: light and airy. Unlike other types of bangs, this style describes the technique hairstylists use to cut the hair, so they're completely customizable. That's why Priyanka Chopra Jonas's full, airy bangs and Gigi Hadid's center-parted baby bangs are both considered wispy."

[Wispy bangs] are an easy way to add style but not have to commit to something too bold. And they're low-maintenance," said stylist Sierra Kener. "They require little to no upkeep if the stylist cuts them right. I suggest getting them trimmed every three to four weeks or when you feel [it's] needed."
