Bangs are a face-framing hairstyle that flatters the face, and there are different takes on it. While most ladies are sceptical about going for bangs because they can cause a little discomfort, this iteration of wispy bangs is changing their minds, as it is light and breathable just like the name suggests.   

Wispy bangs accentuate most hairstyles, as they are truly versatile and require little effort to maintain. The light-textured beauties have been spotted from the streets to the red carpet as they appeal to everyone. If you’re thinking of giving them a try, here are 12 wispy bangs hairstyles to get you started.  

1. Full wispy bangs   

These wispy bangs are full, not because they are thick but because they are layered from end to end. They look chic with long straight hair. Leave your hair down so the long strands run loose. You can also braid your full-length hair to switch up the style. If you’re not feeling the bangs, you can as well slick it back to form a hump, and it instantly gives a new hairstyle.
