Bangs are the style name in the US. In the UK they are called fringes. Wikipedia extrapolates that they are named after the style of bobbing horse's tails straight across called "bang tailed". An interesting note is that the style has been around as a fashion cut since the seventh century. See the link for Ziryab, the noted fashionista and celebrated style guru of the Islamic world.

∙ 9y agoThe term bangs originated from the bang-off of hair which meant to cut straight across the front. This was thought to derive from the term bang-tail used to describe cutting the hair in a horse's tail straight across.

I have very thin hair. Would side bangs or side-swept bangs be better for me?
Side bangs are bangs that are short and cover one side of the face. Side-swept bangs are longer and "sweep" across the face. Side-swept bangs are the best for thin hair. This is because side bangs draw attention to the thinness of the hair, whereas side-swept bangs tend to show fullness. Also, if you cut your hair to be shoulder length with layers you will also increase the volume of your hair. Check the related links for a picture of a fairly thin-haired mannequin that has layers and side-swept bangs to increase fullness. Using the proper products, such as hair spray, can also increase the volume.

Do side swept bangs work for girls with thick hair and a round face?
Yes!they do work for thick hair and a round face :) come to think of it Hilary Duff herself is a round-faced girl with thick hair and nice side swept bangs. If you have a curly hair I suggest that you don't get yourself bangs because it is most likely to puff up and it might look odd. The solution to this is to rebond (straighten) your hair then ask your stylist to cut your bangs for you. But if you have a straight hair already then go for it! I'm sure you'll look totally awesome in those bangs :D Have a Wonderful Day! By: Sakurajade
