43 Chic Choppy Bangs Ideas Women Will Love
Get inspired to try a bold new fringe! In this guide, I’ll share top examples of this unique style. You’ll also learn how to make it work for your hair length, face shape, and hair type.
What Are Choppy Bangs?
Choppy bangs, also known as textured or uneven bangs, are a versatile fringe style characterized by a range of lengths and angles within the bangs themselves. Distinguished from blunt or straight-cut bangs, choppy bangs feature a mix of short and long strands that create a dynamic, edgy look. Choppy bangs are achieved through point-cutting techniques, providing an effortlessly chic appearance that flatters various face shapes, including long and round faces, by adding dimension and softening facial features.
Stars like Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Lopez have rocked these bangs, and you can try them too! They highlight your eyes, give any hairstyle a fresh, trendy feel, and let you switch up your look without a big haircut. So go ahead—get some choppy bangs today!
#1: Earthy Pixie
This style mixes Lydia Deetz with a natural, fairy-like vibe. It’s fun but also has an edge. I’ve noticed that baby bangs actually suit many face shapes. They look bold yet feminine. These bangs are great for girls who want their hair out of their face and don’t mind standing out. For styling, try Kevin Murphy Night.Rider. It helps hold the bangs in place and keeps them separated. Also, avoid washing your hair for a few days to prevent it from getting too fluffy.
#2 Textured Haircut with Bangs
This layered haircut is full of volume and energy. The ends are rich with color, and the bangs add a bold touch. To style, put a small amount of light gel on the roots. Use a medium round brush to blow-dry the hair. Finish with a flexible spray to hold the style and make it look big. Try Kevin Murphy’s Anti-Gravity and complete with Rob’s working spray.
#3 Square Layered Haircut
A square layered haircut adds texture with many layers. It also features a light wispy see-through bang for extra style.
#4: Choppy and Wispy Waterfall Fringe
If you want bangs, a wispy waterfall style fringe can really change your look. This soft, light fringe can be worn straight across your forehead for a bold look or swept to the side for a softer feel. It works well with both thick and thin hair. Talk to your stylist about trying this style at your next visit!
#5: Choppy Bottleneck Fringe
If you enjoy trying new fringe styles, consider a bottleneck fringe. This popular bang style adds a cool, edgy look around your face. After trying it, you might really like how it looks. To keep your fringe neat and fresh, schedule regular bang trims ahead of time.
#6: Choppy Short Bangs on a Textured Lob
If you have straight hair and want a bold style, try choppy short bangs with a textured lob. The rough texture of the lob works well with the uneven bangs. Together, they give you a fresh, stylish look.
#7: Deep Face Frame
If you want a fresh look for your balayage short hair, try a deep face frame. This style adds shape and movement while highlighting your face. The deep frame gives your hair more contour, and the choppy bangs add a cool, modern touch. It works well for fine to medium hair. To style, start with damp hair and use a texturizing spray for extra volume and texture. Ask your stylist for advice to make the most of this look!
#8: Bangs on Long Ombre Hair
Bangs paired with long ombre hair give a bold, textured style. This look is great for women who want something modern and trendy. Cut the bangs blunt for a playful, uneven lift. It suits women with square-shaped faces best. To style, blow dry your hair. Then, use a texturizing spray and scrunch your hair with your fingers. You can also curl sections away from your face with a curling iron to add waves.
#9: Choppy Ends and Bangs
This shoulder-length hairstyle focuses on texture and movement. The choppy ends frame your face, giving it a fun look. First, blow-dry your hair in sections to add natural volume. Use a round brush to smooth the ends. After drying, use a curling iron to add texture and shape. This step gives your hair more body and bounce. Finish with a shine serum to make your hair look lively and bright.
#10: Textured Lob with Bangs
This style is a textured lob with bangs. I love the choppy bangs because they add softness and a bit of edge. This cut works well to soften square or round faces. It also helps fine hair look fuller and more voluminous. It’s a versatile look that you can wear smooth or with playful texture.
#11: Choppy Curved Bangs
A textured straight fringe paired with a layered medium cut suits a heart-shaped face well. Choose choppy layers and keep the bangs longer with a slight curve. This adds shape and frames your face nicely. When styling, use a round brush and blow dryer to add volume at the top and curl the bang ends inward. Finish with a light hairspray or mousse to hold the style all day.
#12: Modern Curly Shag with Fun Bangs
This is a trendy curly shag with playful bangs. I like this style because the length highlights the curls and adds a cool, modern touch. The messy layers create a stylish, relaxed look, while the face-framing pieces give it extra charm.

A light brown balayage long bob gives a fresh update to the classic lob. Bangs are very popular again this season, often in simple, classic styles. To mix bangs and balayage nicely, ask your stylist for a soft, natural-looking color. Adding some highlights to your bangs helps them blend smoothly with the rest of your hair.
#14: Amazing Pixie Shag with Fringe
Ready for a bold new look? Try a stylish pixie shag with fringe. This haircut adds volume and movement with its layered style. But be careful—not too many layers, or fine hair might look thin. When styling, use a short-bristle brush. Spray a heat-activated volumizer on damp hair to add texture. After drying, finish with a shine mist like Bumble and Bumble’s Shine Flash 02. Follow these simple steps to get salon-quality hair at home!
#15: Chic and Tousled Mid-Length Cut
If your forehead is wide and your hair is medium length, try adding soft, wispy bangs. A fringe can help hide and make your forehead look smaller. Lightly trimming the ends of your bangs creates a soft, feathered look. Remember to get a trim every 3 to 4 weeks.
#16: Adorable Baby Shag with Bangs
Look extra cute with a sweet baby shag haircut and bangs. If you want to hide your forehead or show off your style, adding bangs is perfect. I recommend having the bangs textured for a fresh, modern feel.
#17: Very Dark Long Pixie with Bangs
Try a deep, dark long pixie with bangs. Short haircuts must be precise, so look for a stylist who is an expert in pixie cuts. The style should have layers and texture to add depth.
#18: Cute Short Bob with Thick Bangs
This style is easy to love. Adding bangs is a simple way to refresh your haircut. Think about your face shape first. If you have a small forehead or eyes that are close together, bangs might not be the best choice. But if your face is round or narrow, choppy bangs can highlight your eyes. You can also use a 1-inch curling iron or wand to add some wave to your bob.
#19: Stunning Sleek Long Blonde Hair
If you want to grow your hair long and blonde, it’s important to learn how to care for it. Work with your stylist to make a plan. This will help prevent breakage and give you the best results.
#20: Sandy Brown Mid-Length Hair
How you style your hair can change how an accent foil looks. It can create a soft, sun-kissed effect. On medium-length hair, it might add a pretty sandy brown shade or colors that blend well with your natural hair color.
#21: Brunette Mid-Length Hair with Textured Fringe
If you want to try a shag but feel unsure about short layers, think about brunette mid-length hair. The fringe adds a touch of shorter layers without a big change. I suggest slide-cutting some top layers after your first cut. This way, you can see how the layers will look and fall. Keep in mind, if you wear your hair straight, some pieces might show. So, be sure to slide cut instead of cutting straight across.
#22: Unique Straight-Across Bangs
If you want a new look, try unique, straight-across bangs. If your hair is curly, avoid this style unless you plan to flat iron your bangs after every wash. For straight hair, this fringe works well. Make sure to cut bangs when your hair is dry. This helps you see any cowlicks or uneven hairlines. Remember, to keep bangs looking sharp, trim them every 4 to 5 weeks.
#23: Lived-In Blonde Shag with Jagged Bangs
A blonde shag haircut with choppy bangs shows that shags work for everyone. This style has many trendy versions. In this look, the layers are long with textured ends. The blonde color is mostly solid, but the roots have a soft blend or balayage, letting some natural color peek through. No matter how you wear it, this style looks beautiful.
#24: Short Choppy 90s Bangs
Short, choppy bangs are a popular 90s trend making a comeback. To get this style, start with a blunt cut, then use point cutting to add texture. This helps the bangs look balanced—not too harsh or too thin. When I work with clients, I also look at their face shape to choose the best bang length for them.
#25: Full French Bob with Fringe
If you want a timeless haircut with a bold touch, try a full French bob with bangs. This style gives a soft, rounded look that suits curly hair very well.
#26: Long Brunette Shag with Fringe
Consider trying a long brunette shag with a choppy fringe. This style works well if your hair has natural waves or curls, as it adds volume and movement.

To style it, towel dry your hair, apply a texturizing mousse like R Co Aircraft, and then use a diffuser to dry your hair.
