We all know that long hair goes well with bangs and it is one of the easiest ways to change your looks.
In fact, they can change your whole demeanor, and the geometry of your face, and give you an entirely new look.
Depending on the type of facial structure you have, some bangs will work better than others.
But one thing we know. They all go perfectly well with long hair.
Therefore, here are 50 long hair with bangs recommendations that you will want to take into account!
1. Hairstyles for Long Straight Hair with Bangs
Combining straight long hair with bangs is the most basic thing you can do when it comes to this hairstyle. You cannot possibly go wrong with it. We suggest a blunt cut at the ends that will give you a sophisticated and somewhat French vibe.
2. Cute Bangs for Long Hair
This incredibly cute long hair with bangs style will add a touch of Disney to your look. It comprises a set of very heavy bangs, some loose side strands, and a huge bow on top. Look for tutorials on YouTube on how to create the bow.
3. Trendy Long Hairstyles with Bangs
Unconventional colors are all the rage right now. This is a dark orchid shade of long hair with bangs that also has a very dramatic makeup to match. The lipstick is a very matte and dark plum, which looks almost black and witchy.
4. Copper Gold Long Hair with Bangs
Another amazing color that is quickly gaining (even more) popularity as we speak is copper. It has a sister called brass, and they are both taking over the world as part of the new metallic trend. That’s right, move over matte! There’s a new sheriff in Beauty town!
5. New Haircuts for Long Hair with Side Bangs
This is a set of very wispy and cute bangs that have been completed with some side bangs as well. They will make you look extremely cute and sweet, especially if you go for the top bun as well. It’s a very ‘ballerina off duty’ look.
6. Messy Layers
We absolutely adore this hairstyle and believe that as far as long hair with bangs goes, you cannot go wrong with it. This is a long and layered cut that has been volumized using some mousses and a blow dryer.
7. Dark Long Hair with Bangs
If you can’t, don’t want to, or don’t have the patience necessary to grow out your hair like this, then you can always go for extensions. They will make your locks look luscious and add a lot more volume and body to them.
8. Shaggy Long Hair with Bangs
Both this color and this cut are absolutely to die for. They are the perfect combination for fall or winter, especially combined with an oversized, knitted sweater. The color is a combination of beige and iceberg blonde, while the cut is a shaggy and layered long hairstyle.
9. The Reese Witherspoon
There are many celebrities in Hollywood who wore or are still wearing bangs. None like actress Reese Witherspoon, though. She has been proudly sporting them since we can remember, complete with that mane of silky straight, sunny blonde hair.
10. The Kaley Cuoco
There was a time in her younger days when comedy actress Kaley Cuoco embraced the idea of long hair with bangs. She liked a very layered and piecey cut and a set of side bangs that only partially hid away her extremely manicured eyebrows.
11. The Hillary Duff
Another famous fringe wearer is former Disney star, Hillary Duff. She likes long hair with bangs as well. Her shade is a light honey blonde with dark roots and her bangs are long enough to surpass her eyes and swept to one side.

Jennifer Garner surely knows how to wear bangs. Here’s a little trick you can learn from her. If your hair is the same dark color, add a few highlights or peekabooks around the lower part of your face and neck. They will enlighten the face and balance the darkness of the bangs.
