As every woman knows,getting bangs is a risky move.

While they look great on some people, they can look well not so great on others.

While chopping off your hair may seem like a great idea, sometimes, it backfires.

Just look at Emily’s “trauma bangs” in Season 3 of “Emily in Paris.”

Are you curious to see some of the most dramatic celebrity bangs looks of all time?

Here are the bang trims that completely transformed some of our favorite celebs.

Few actors can boast a fringe quite as iconic as Johnson’s.

Johnson’s hair is typically styled by Mark Townsend.

In 2023, he posted a series ofphotosshowing off her iconic bangs.

Zooey Deschanel with and without bangs

In 2022, he even shared withVoguehow he gives her perfect fringe.

“You have to start with very wet bangs,” he said.

Then, he uses a round brush to give that effortless swept-to-the-side look.

Kim Kardashian with and without bangs

We will definitely be adding this technique to our styling routines!

In fact, even as a child, she was a “bangs girl.”

In “Elf,” for instance, Deschanel was almost unrecognizable with blonde, fringeless hair.

Cara Delevingne with and without bangs

She also went sans bangs at the Met Gala in 2013.

Many fans couldn’t recognize her, which Deschanel thought was hilarious.

“It’s truly shocking to me, but I mean, it’s funny,” she toldBuzzFeed.

Nina Dobrev with and without bangs

My family recognizes me without bangs."

By the sounds of things, Deschanel will be sticking with her bangs for the foreseeable future.

Suffice it to say, she looked totally different.

Lily Collins with and without bangs

Most people guessed that the bangs were in fact a temporary clip-in hairpiece.

This isn’t the first time Kardashian has experimented with bangs.

“You gave me bangs?!”

Lupita Nyong’o with and without bangs

Kardashian went on to recall another time she had tried bangs.

However, she has experimented with bangs in the past.

“Does this mean our choppy at-home fringe attempts might actually be … wrote oneAllurewriter of the look.

Kaia Gerber with and without bangs

Delevingne also switched up her look with a thick fringe during a runway show for Emilio Pucci in 2013.

We can’t lie it’s giving Taylor Swift!

Dobrev also posted onInstagram, writing simply, “Chop chop.”

Sophie Turner with and without bangs

In the show, Emily cuts her own bangs in a moment of trauma.

However, in real life, Collins' new trim was, apparently, far less traumatic.

“Not exactly trauma bangs,” she wrote in the caption on anInstagrampost.

Bella Hadid with and without bangs

“Unlike Emily, I didn’t cut these myself!

“There’s a sass to them.

They also do really well in humidity,” she gushed toGlamour.

Selena Gomez with and without bangs

“I know that seems weird, but they honestly do.

We have to agree Collins looks totally different and seriously chic and is giving us some serious bangs inspo!

She paired the chic bangs with an elegant updo and a pair of drop earrings.

Lily James with and without bangs

Nyong’o’s bangs were short-lived.

Over the years, she’s preferred to opt for styles that show off her natural hair texture.

AsBritish Voguenoted, her fringe was inspired by thatclassic shaggy ’70s look.

Jennifer Aniston with and without bangs

Fouche also explained that this kind of fringe also requires lightweight products.

The star debuted her wispy, feathered long fringe in 2022.

It was quite the transformation!

Blake Lively with and without bangs

As her stylist, Christian Wood, toldGlamourin 2020, Turner was always up for a big hair change.

No wonder she was so willing to try such a bold new style.

Luckily, Wood knows how to style bangs, largely thanks to Jennifer Lopez.

Suffice it to say, she looked completely different.

Hadid even shared a video with her stylist Evanie Frausto that showed their process in styling a bang look.

However, over the years, she’s learned to experiment a little more with hair pieces including bangs.

Frausto then proceeded to attach a set of fake bangs for a bold look.

The classic bangs look featured long wispy strands and longer pieces on the edges.

Of course, that’s not the first time Gomez has experimented with bangs in recent years.

We all remember her famous bob with bangs in 2016.

In fact, she sometimes goes four days without a wash!

Well, with or without bangs, she always looks great, so we are taking notes!

Lily James

Lily James rarely sports bangs on or off the silver screen.

The Audrey Heburn-esque look made James practically unrecognizable.

Halley Brisker, her hairstylist for the event, spoke toInsiderabout the look.

“you might expect a very classically sharp, ’90s nod to Chanel early ’90s,” he said.

“It’ll be if plans go accordingly pretty iconic, essentially.

Those tiny bangs certainly were very, very sharp, in all possible ways.

Honestly, we do not even recognize her with this look!

It’s yet another reminder that bangs really can turn you into a shapeshifter.

But although Aniston has famous hair, she is not known for ever wearing it in a fringe.

However, Aniston has been seen with bangs for a few roles over the years.

Blake Lively

Did you know that Serena Van Der Woodsen herself has experimented with bangs?

Talk about a bold look!

Lively also wore a very different bangs look for the same film.

In anotherInstagrampicture, she showed off a shaggy blonde pixie cut with messy bangs.

After all, it suits her.

It used to be about asking what works for this person,” he said.

“Now, it’s about what’s on trend.”
