The hairdresser’s is a scary place for a lot of girls; the fear of watching your hair fall to the ground and knowing that there is no turning around now. But at the same time it’s an exhilarating experience, that feeling of a fresh blow out and the newfound smoothness throughout your strands. One of the biggest beauty moves, even for a girl who are fearless in the salon chair, would have to be bangs. Getting bangs may seem like a plunge in the unknown, but 2017 is the year of taking plunges. Beauty it-girls like, Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Selena Gomez have all shown the world their fresh-cut locks, but before you sprint the nearest salon chair, here are four different ways to do your bangs.

1. Baby Bangs

This might be the riskiest cut of bangs, but if you’re looking for a high fashion look without the high fashion price, this is the look for you.

2. Strand Bangs

Strand bangs are always a great look. They are timeless and always in style, so if you’re not ready for a huge commitment, this is a great starting place.

3. Just Above the Brow Bangs

This is a super chic and fun way to change up your bang game. It will allow you to have straight across bangs but with a little twist.

4. Choppy Bangs

Choppy bangs are definitely the look of  2017, I mean if veteran Victoria Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio can’t convince you, who can?

If there is one thing to remember, hair isn’t forever, and if you change your mind they will always grow back out again. If you’re thinking about getting bangs, just take the plunge, because the water feels great, and you’re hair will look great too.
