12. Messy: No matter if she’s rocking her guitar on the stage or making you LOL on Portlandia, Carrie Brownstein’s messy bedhead is something most women wish they could pull off. She’s the queen of combining hard with soft. In fact, she’s willing to change her hair to counter her outfit. She told Hello Giggles, “If you have ruffles and your hair is curly, it just doesn’t work.” (via Rookie Mag)
13. Fuss-Free Fringe: There might be no bang of our time that is more iconic than what Alexa Chung sports. In fact, Vogue deemed her look one of the best of all time, sitting right next to the likes of Jane Birkin who also passed her good bang genes down to her daughter Charlotte Gainsbourg. The trick to getting this look is not to over style. (We think we can handle that.) (via Vogue)

17. Chic and Shiny: Kerry Washington is a hair ninja. One day we’ll see her with big blunt bags, the next day her hair will be totally swept back in a stunning updo. But probably our favorite look is her sleek, shiny piece-y bangs. (via The Daily Beast)
18. Grown Out Pixie: Alright, so she’s currently sporting a bang-less chopped bob, but we’re still reminiscing about her grown-out pixie paired with some serious bang action. The alter-ego combo just goes to show, J Law really can have it all. (via BellaSugar)
19. Rounded: Never one to be seen with naked forehead, T-Swift’s bangs frame and round out her whole face. Achieve this easy look with a round brush and blow dryer. (via Teen Vogue)
20. Face Framing: Christina Hendricks is always changing it up in the bang department. And no matter if they’re half bangs, fringed or swept to the side, her va-va-voom hair always frames her face and gives her a youthful glow…. believe it or not she’s nearing 40. Bang magic! (via InStyle)
