What Are Micro-Bangs?
Micro-bangs, also known as micro-fringe, are basically just like your typical bangs, but very cropped! This is a bold type of bangs since it is extremely short and puts all your features on display. Micro-bangs are a trending hairstyle for a reason – it suits all face shapes, as long as you style them in a way that looks best for your features!
