Medium length hairstyles with bangs are effortlessly stylish, versatile, and perfect for giving your face a fresh, youthful glow. But here’s the real question—should you go for trendy curtain bangs, chic blunt cuts, or soft side-swept layers?
With so many options, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. Don’t worry, I’ve done the hard work for you! Get ready to explore 79 gorgeous medium length hairstyles with bangs that will have you running to your hairstylist.
1. See-Through Bangs
See-through bangs are all about subtlety and softness. They’re perfect for those who love the idea of bangs but don’t want to commit to a heavy fringe.
I tried this style a while back, and I loved how it gave my look a relaxed, airy vibe.
These bangs are typically cut thinner, letting more of your forehead peek through, which makes them feel less “in-your-face” than traditional bangs.
They work wonders for round faces or anyone looking to soften their features.
2. Micro Bangs (Baby Bangs)
If you’re feeling bold and edgy, micro bangs might be calling your name.
I gave them a go, and while they definitely made a statement, I quickly learned they aren’t for the faint of heart!
These super-short bangs sit just above your eyebrows and give you that cool, retro vibe.
If you have a small forehead, they can balance out your features beautifully. But, they do require regular trims to keep them looking fresh!
3. Arched Bangs
Arched bangs are a fantastic choice if you want bangs that frame your face without a super blunt cut.
The soft arch gives you a more flattering shape, and I find they look great on almost any face shape.
The key here is to avoid too much volume at the roots—keep it sleek and smooth for a more polished finish.
If you’ve got a round face, arched bangs can elongate it, making your features pop.
4. Layered Curtain Fringe
Curtain bangs are all the rage, and layered curtain fringe takes that look to the next level.
These bangs are parted in the middle and fall to the sides like a curtain, giving you an effortlessly chic vibe.
I’ve had this style for a while, and it’s one of my favorites because it’s so easy to maintain.
Best of all, it suits almost everyone—round faces, square faces, you name it. A quick blowout, and you’re ready to go!
5. Textured Fringe
Textured fringe is perfect if you love that messy, lived-in look.
I opted for this style when I wanted to add volume without going overboard, and the result was just the right amount of movement and texture.
These bangs work best for those with thicker hair, as the natural texture adds to the volume.
To pull them off, use a lightweight styling cream or texturizing spray to keep the frizz in check.
6. Face-Framing Bangs
As the name suggests, face-framing bangs are designed to highlight your features by cutting the bangs shorter in the front and longer as they move toward the sides.
I adore how these bangs accentuate the cheekbones and jawline.
This style is flattering for almost all face shapes, and it works especially well for heart-shaped faces.
You can keep it soft and natural or add a bit of curl for extra volume.
7. Arched Layered Haircut
For a modern take on layered hair, an arched layered haircut with bangs adds both structure and movement.
I tried this style when I wanted something with more depth, and the layers framed my face beautifully.
If you have medium-length hair, layered cut is especially flattering because the layers create volume without making your hair look too bulky.
The arched bangs blend seamlessly with the layers for a more sophisticated, polished look.
8. Airy Bangs
Airy bangs are light, wispy bangs that almost look like they’re floating above your forehead.
I experimented with these bangs for a fun and breezy look, and they’re a great choice if you want bangs but don’t want them to overpower your face.
These bangs work best with fine hair because they add volume without looking too heavy. A little blow-dry and you’re good to go!

These bangs tend to look best on oval or heart-shaped faces, as they can elongate the face and soften angular features.
Style them sleek and straight for a chic, polished look or add some waves for a more relaxed vibe.
10. Soft Tapered Bangs
Soft tapered bangs are perfect if you’re after a more gradual, gentle fringe that blends well with the rest of your hair.
These bangs start longer at the edges and gradually get shorter toward the middle of your forehead.
When I had these, I loved how they softened my face shape without looking too severe.
It’s a fantastic option for medium-length hair because the tapered edges blend naturally into the layers of your hair.
