Is it just us, or does it seem like the fashion girls are, one by one, parting ways with middle parts and trading them with bangs again? If you’re delaying your next hair appointment because you are awaiting some major hair inspo, consider yourself in luck, as today, we are introducing you to the hairstyle poised to explode in popularity in 2023. Enters: the Birkin bangs.
Brought to fame by French Icon Jane Birkin in the 60s, Birkin bangs are chic, wispy, and universally flattering. Call it the Emily In Paris effect or several It-girls who have recently taken the plunge – the brow-grazing bangs will be taking over our FYPs and seen on our fave celebs as they walk the red carpets. While we’ve been lusting over the iconic fringe for years, they are set to set to dominate in 2023. Everyone from Zendaya to Emily Ratajkowski, Anne Hathaway, and Dua Lipa has already opted for them. And can we just say, we’re kinda…No actually, hella-obsessed! They are the epitome of cool-girl hair and will keep you looking fire. So if you like to stay ahead of the trends, here’s how to get and style them!
The Modern Take On Birkin Bangs
In contrast to the full-framed Birkin Bangs of the ‘60s, the styles ruling the ‘gram are softer. They have a square shape to them but they do not read blunt and geometric. If you want to get the exact same results, we recommend bringing photos to the salon. You can ask your bangs to be placed above, at, and below the eyebrows. Bangs should be cut in a way that opens up your face. Be mindful of your growth pattern and hair texture to ensure that they sit right and don’t crop up much when you style at home. They should maintain a soft and piecey shape so they can be cut with a little dishevelled precision. Keep scrolling for the celeb-approved way to sport the style.

How To Style Birkin Bangs?
To style your bangs like a pro, start with clean, damp hair and blow dry your bangs with a fine-tooth comb or a small paddle brush. Use back-and-forth movement to follow your comb or brush with your blow-dryer so the hair doesn’t part in any particular direction. Once your hair is dry, you can use a lightweight hair spray to piece some of the strands together to give it that effortless French girl look.
Love is in the hair…
