Layered haircuts with bangs hit a fever pitch in the late 1990s, and it seemed like afterward, haircuts would never be the same. Suddenly we had options; not every look needed to be a be-all-end-all of length; we could play and tailor things around, without the hassle of full-time commitment. We could wear our hair long and luxurious and still enjoy some swing and movement, without the weigh-down. Layered haircuts with bangs helped us have our cake and eat it too.
That said, we’re always going to have a soft spot for this eternally flattering style—it’s seen us through the most finicky of hair days and has given us hope of a good hair moment when there was none. Scroll down for 30 stylish long layered haircuts with bangs for all sorts of tastes and hair types:
Best Layered Hair with Bangs
If you’re into shags, feathered looks, or just want an all-over swingier look, a layered haircut that features both a fringe and some side layers is just the thing. This length can look super subtle to seriously rockstar, depending on the chunkiness of your layers. Keep scrolling for style ideas!
1. ’80s Fringe With Feathered Layers
This glorious throwback look features a (quite wearable) light fringe paired with whisper-thin layers on the sides. This feathery fading technique will give your hair some serious shape and dimension. Talk to your stylist about creating a cut that gives your strands some movement to keep your look fresh and up-to-date.
2. Asymmetrical
If chunky layers are your thing, then an asymmetrical haircut teamed with a blunt bang hits all the graphic notes. This multi-length style helps you nail one of the edgiest trends of the season – the uneven cut that gives your strands a blunt and cool feel instantly.

Another iteration of the brow-hitting bang, but this time with more delicately cut layers. We love this look for more mature women.
13. Straight and Ashy
Poker-straight hair types can also find more dimension with a unique color—and some bang layering near the cheekbones. This bang length draws the eye to cheekbones and accentuates your facial structure for an elongating effect.
14. Perfectly Outlined Layers with Fringe
A seamless temple-to-side silhouette creates a modern, even futuristic layered bang that’s great for edging up rounder and heart-shaped faces. This is one of our favorite long hairstyles with bangs.
15. Curved Fringe
Similar to the previous look, this style features a bang area that’s been snipped slightly unevenly for a more natural look. If you’re hoping to stay away from that neat fringe look, try this anything-but-tidy alternative.
16. ’80s Side Sweep + Bang Combo

17. ’90s Long Layered Haircut with Bangs
A spin-off of the ’80s bang, this version has that definitive early ’90s pieceyness(JPG) and bounce that seems to emanate from the middle of the forehead. Looks great on those with thicker, straighter textures.
18. See-Through Bangs, Long Version
Yup, we’re still not over the versatility of this layered bang look. Ask your stylist for a thin, choppy fringe, and leave the layering to the bottom half of your hair. Style by tucking your sideburns behind your ears.

Women with relaxed or rebonded hair can also access some layered haircuts with bangs. A look that only has layers at the ends plus thick curtain bangs is a universally flattering choice.

A full, sexy fringe teamed with perfectly layered ends nails the long layered bangs aesthetic to a T. This classic but stylish look is one for the ages.

29. Side Swept
A.k.a. the best way to grow out any layered bang fringe—or to wear the best of both worlds. Side-swept bangs require minimal upkeep and a lot less finessing than full bangs generally do.
30. Textured
The non-committal, almost sticky-looking see-through fringe in this look is super directional. The style is great for those who want to push the envelope while still looking, you know, pretty.
