This short cut on long bangs is a modern take on a classic lock. This is a very low maintenance shape.
Adding a fringe gives it a little bit of a different appearance versus a traditional one length bob.

Use a leave-in conditioner spray then cover with a nice, gritty mousse. This will allow for maximum air drying.

This short haircut can be worn smooth and sleek, polished with a flat iron, using a light heat-protectant like Paul Mitchell’s Hot Off the Press, and finish with a drop of serum for shine. If you’re looking for a little more edge, I recommend using a little texture spray like Redken’s Wax Blast 10 or if you have a heavier texture, a paste-like Rewind 06.
#16: Long Bangs for a Round Face
This short hair and long bangs are blunt tousled bob with softly rounded curtain bangs.
The bangs follow the outer shape of the eyebrows and connect to the sides in a subtle soft way, narrowing the sides of the face.
This short hair with longer fringe helps elongate the face as long as you keep enough overall length and the bangs’ shortest point in the middle right above the nose.
It’s important to keep the bangs soft by having shattered ends and not extremely blunt.
A short haircut with long bangs is a great option for women with square face shapes who wish to go short.
Bangs will require more of your time since they will need trimming sooner than the overall cut.
If you already have short straight hair, it would be extremely easy to style by blow-drying using the curvature of the head, and a flat bristled brush. Always use a heat protector, and you could add some volumizing mousse if needed.
