Famous Bangs

I got a haircut a couple of months ago and found myself, once again, with bangs. If you are a girl you know the painstaking decision that it is to cut bangs because once you do it, you'll have to go through a heckuva lot to get rid of them. So in my quest for the perfect haircut (found it!) I started to take note of celebrity bangs. Then I decided "Famous Bangs" would be a funny title for a guide (I also considered and dismissed as hacky "Bangin' Bangs"). So, here we are.

Reese Witherspoon

How she (that is, her stylist) gets them so shiny and smooth, I will never know. Though I suspect there is probably puppy entrails involved.

Katy Perry

Loathe her music, love her bangs.

Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor

Those are some badass bangs.

Alexis Bledel

Sure, she’ll always be a Gilmore Girl to me — but with those honey colored wispy bangs she might also be my hero. Lovely.

Betty Page

I know that not a lot of people are looking at her bangs . . . but I always am – I wonder what that says about me?

Seriously, whenever I think “bangs”, I think “Betty”. The original bang-stress.

Jordana Brewster

Is it just me or should Jordana “Fast & Furious” Brewster (and her bangs) be in more movies?

Selma Blair

Yes. Hott.

Ashley Olsen

OK, so I know it’s an Olsen twin, but I love love love her hair! And especially her bangs. Yup, so sad that I want to look like an Olsen twin, but the girl has style!

This looks vaguely like Megan Fox, but it’s not her, is it? I can’t tell. All I know is these bangs are fucking amazing.

Michelle Monaghan

Lovely! I like the way the part in the middle just a little bit — it’s kind of sassy and really cute.

Zooey Deschanel

Love her music (and her movies) AND her bangs. Suck it, Katy.

Kelly Kapowski

Nothing will ever top these bangs.

Tyra Banks

Tyra’s bangs are – all together now – FIERCE.

Nicole Richie

She’s not my favorite person in the world, but I do have to give her this—pulling off a bob and bangs is no easy feat.

Hello indie rock darling, Bat for Lashes (AKA Natasha Khan). Why don’t you try being a little more sultry and marvelous with your bangs. Oh, that’s right, that wouldn’t even be possible.

I have bangs. I’m not famous though.

LOVE this! Of course, every time I think of bangs, I remember back to an OKCupid personality quiz that asked two questions: “Do you have crusty bangs?” … “Are you a crusty bang?” And I crack up. So. Thanks for that.

I just trimmed up my hair yesterday, including my bangs! I’m a huge fan of bangs—not sure if I see a bang-less future. Haha, “bang-less.”
