If you've been thinking about getting bangs for a while now — but haven't had them before — or you're looking for a style that's low-maintenance and practical, Medusa bangs are perfect for you. Yes, they do frame your lashes quite a bit, but as hairstylist Tom Smith explained to Byrdie, "the lightweight density of the bang means, with the correct product choice, it can be a very tolerable way of softening your look with a long, soft bang." Plus, you can find a way to style them differently if having hair in your eyes isn't your thing. You can go for a shorter length in the middle or sweep them aside. 

If you've got fine locks and don't want to lose part of them for a fringe, Medusa bangs work well in this scenario since they are wispy. If you search #pamandersonbangs on TikTok, you'll know what we mean. The great thing about this look is that you don't need to work with a heavy curtain of hair. They're all about that see-through effect. Smith said, "It's also a great low-commitment style as the finer strands of the hair can be swept away more easily than a thick blunt bang on those occasions where you need your hair off your face."
