Bardot hair, and in particular bangs, originally went viral on TikTok in 2022, and while we've seen a heap of fringe trends develop since then, it looks like the original shape is back and better than ever. Brigitte Bardot has always been an icon both on and off the screen and as we head into spring 2024, she’s inspiring a slew of new beauty trends — most notably Bardot bangs. Whether you've been obsessed ever since Lana Del Rey debuted her goth-core version at the Grammy's or are in love with Julia Roberts' take or Selena Gomez's vibe, there are plenty of celebs to take inspiration from. And whether this has always been your signature style or you're looking to create a new look, below we're detailing the trend and how to get the fringe look!
What Are Bardot Bangs?
Voluminous, voluptuous and parted in the center — despite what many might think, Bardot bangs are different from curtain fringe. This new bang trend relies on the shape and the finishing touches to set them apart. The middle length should hit around the corner of the eyes and then longer as they are swept out and away from the face. When styling, part them in the middle and opt for a fair amount of volume to create a round finish.
How Are Bardot Bangs Different From Curtain Fringe?
While they look very similar, curtain fringe has a more pronounced middle than Bardot bangs. The fringe has shorter pieces that are highlighted alongside soft swept pieces, while Bardot bangs have a defined part and are styled as such.
Who Can Wear This Trend?
The beautiful thing about this trend is that almost every hair type and face shape can wear a version of this trend. More similar to invisible, faux and see-through fringe — Bardot bangs offer a barely-there option that frames the face while still remaining somewhat low-maintenance.
