Bangs may be hot right now, but they are definitely not for everyone. Why? Styling bangs can be more time consuming; they can take long to grow out (in the event you don’t them) and can be very risky for certain wavy or curly textures. 

If you love the look of bangs but are unwilling to commit, then try the long bang. As the name aptly describes, these are longer then your standard bangs, but shorter than traditional layers. The best part about long bangs—they are easy to style. 

Here is some inspiration for you… 

Instead of blunt bangs, try long side-swept bangs--as seen here on Chrissy Teigen.
