Young Blonde Girl With A Fringe And Blue Eyes Posing At The Tree, In The Car And In The Bathroom

The term bangs originally referred to hair cut bang-off (straight across at the front), although the term is now applied to diverse forms of fringe. It is probably related to bang-tail, a term still used for the practice of cutting horses' tails straight across.
There are other terms such as patch, which connotes the coloring of overlying bangs.
Types of bangs:
• Straight bangs: A bang combed straight down with no interference.
