The deep side part and all-one-length hair add glamour to this style. 03 of 12 Beachy Waves Pinterest/Hairstyles Weekly The golden highlights in this perfectly layered mane of hair bring summer breezes to mind.

This fashionable blunt cut is dressed up with a few wisps of face-framing layers. 06 of 12 Side-Swept with Volume Pinterest/Just The Design/Zoé Alalouch Side-swept bangs look extra flirty with or without a flip. The light layers in this bob add more shape and volume. 07 of 12 Shaggy Bangs Pinterest/Hair World Mag Instead of blunt bangs, ask your stylist for choppy fringe for a lighter, highly textured look. These long, shaggy bangs caress the top of the cheekbones, adding softness to the cut. 08 of 12 French Bob Pinterest/Style and Designs The French bob is a chin-length bob with straight bangs or shaggy fringe.
