Baby Bangs Are the Next Big Hair Trend
Baby bangs, also known as micro bangs, are the newest trending bang style this season.
There's no denying that 2023 was the year of the bang. Curtain bangs continued their reign, and French bangs, a lá Jane Birkin, had their own moment as well, but as the Spring/Summer 2024 runways and Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2024 runways have revealed, the baby bang—also known as the micro bang—is the first ultra-trendy bang style of 2024.
Unlike other popular bang styles, the baby bang is usually a straight, blunt cut above the eyebrows. This bold look may be a statement, but it's surprisingly versatile and needs nothing but confidence and plenty of trust in your hairstylist to pull it off. There are endless ways to style baby bangs, be it straight and blunt or layered and wavy.
Celebrities like Olivia Rodrigo, Leighton Meester, and Bella Hadid rocked the hairstyle earlier this year, but since then, baby bangs have grown in popularity. Micro bangs and other bluntly cut bang hairstyles were heavily featured on the runways during the Spring/Summer 2024 season, as seen on the catwalks of Alexander McQueen and Grace Ling. Not only were they favored by designers and stylists, but celebrities adopted the look as well. Both Zoë Kravitz and Julia Fox, two veritable style icons, debuted micro bangs this past fall. This season, just in time for couture week, Zendaya made a splash with her new bluntly cut baby bangs, just days after the internet raved over Kristen Stewart debuted her micro bangs at the Sundance Film Festival.
