Wispy bangs

Wispy bangs are a thin, light fringe with a see-through quality that lets some forehead show through. They give a delicate, textured finish and suit fine to medium hair when cut carefully. Because the hair is thin and sits against the skin, they can separate or look greasy quickly, so many people rinse and dry only the front between full washes. Keep products light so the strands do not clump. See also: Curtain bangs, Feathering, and the guide Bangs and Shag Haircuts: Choosing a Fringe That Works.
