Some people say fringes are reserved for the brave, but different variations of the style have been getting more popular over the years. For this year, specifically? Join the masses in going bold. “People have been asking for little wispy micro bangs that go a little below the eyebrow — a lot of people are really into doing that lately,” says Polko.

While you might think of a micro fringe as blunt, short, and cut straight across the forehead, there are actually many types. “They can be curly, curtain, choppy, wispy, and so on,” Devin Toth, a hairstylist at Salon SCK, previously told POPSUGAR.

The best part? “[Baby] bangs can add flair to any hairstyle and work on all hair types — super curly, pin straight, updos, pixies, long, short, thick, thin, box braids, Afro,” says Toth. Meaning they’re a great way to add flare to any haircut for long hair.
