Wondering what a baby bang is? Baby bangs are basically blunt cut bangs that are cut shorter! Most of us have seen the super popular bang look when the bangs are cut just above the eyebrows. But, if you love short hair, you may want to try out the baby bangs because they are actually cut even shorter!
And, don’t worry if you don’t like the straight across bang look, you can totally switch up this bang hairstyle by cutting some of the ends so your bangs aren’t just straight across. This makes them look more fashion-forward and intentional.

For those of us who want typical bangs, but don’t want blunt cut bangs or bangs that completely cover the forehead, these are the bangs for you!
Korean bangs are also called “see through” bangs because they are cut over the forehead, but some of your forehead peeks through since they are thin and wispy.
So if you don’t like the look of super thick forehead bangs, you won’t have to worry about that with this hairstyle. Not only are Korean bangs nice and thin, but also you can style them so they are not blunt cut or straight across the forehead, giving your hair a more “messy” look.
