Kim Kardashian gave us all the holiday hair inspiration we didn't know we needed. Recently spotted in a figure-hugging ivory look, Kim paired her chic look with ultra-glam, extra-long bangs that effortlessly frame her face. Her bangs cascade over her eyebrows with a soft, wispy finish, exuding sophistication while maintaining that signature Kardashian edge.

Extra-long bangs might be the perfect low-maintenance, high-impact upgrade if you want to switch up your style for the festive season. 

Here's how to nail the trend

Opt for Length and Versatility

Kim's bangs hover right at cheekbone length, which gives them a versatile appeal. This length allows you to wear them sleek and straight, like Kim did, or sweep them to the side for a curtain effect. Ask your hairstylist for long, face-framing bangs that blend seamlessly into your layers for the same polished finish.

The Importance of Texture

Kim's bangs are not blunt or heavy; instead, they are feathered with a slightly wispy effect, making them easier to style. When cutting your bangs, request soft texturing to avoid a harsh look.

To recreate Kim's sleek yet natural vibe, blow-dry your bangs using a round brush for a gentle curve. Add a light mist of heat protectant spray and finish with a smoothing serum or lightweight hair oil to get that glossy shine Kim's hair is known for.

Kim completed the look with her ultra-long, sleek locks. To keep the style cohesive, straighten your hair and add a middle part to create that elongating effect. Consider clip-in extensions to mimic Kim's luscious length for extra holiday glam.
