Recently, Blackpink’s Lisa also sported a curled side-swept fringe style on her Instagram. Lisa is synonymous with her signature full, straight-across bangs, so this must be the first time she has shown her forehead. Fans were divided about Lisa's new look, but it sure is different, and it shows just how changing your fringe can really refresh your style.

Bangs that end at the brows are not always easy to pull off - this length of bangs looks best when you have fairly full hair, and bigger eyes. It's a tough look to pull off if you have a high hairline or little volume of hair.
For those who can pull it off, try curling the fringe at the end to amp up this hairstyle even more.
Soft and airy, this ethereal fringe hairstyle is characterised by having a small amount of hair lightly draping over the forehead, like South Korean actress Han Ye-seul shows here.

Not only do airy bangs help to conceal the hairline, they're also a go-to hairstyle for lazy days when you don’t want to fuss with styling your hair too much. And if they get in your eyes, just comb a small amount of mousse through your hair for more control without weight.
Butterfly bangs refer to a fringe hair style where your hair is parted equally, with two thin sections framing each side of the forehead. A poster girl for this fringe style is Blackpink’s Rosé - she shows how romantic and sexy this hairstyle can look.
As local TV darling Chantalle Ng shows, the beauty of the Butterfly Fringe hairstyle is its versatility. You can wear your Butterfly bangs with a ponytail, braid or bun, and cut them just to your ears, or to the bottom of your face, like Chantalle. The Butterfly Fringe also highlights great eyes and slims your face, if that's what you're after.
The versatile S-shaped wavy bangs can be executed in many ways, including a French-style middle part or a 7:3 side part. This fringe style adds a touch of grace and elegance, and is frequently worn by Blackpink’s Jisoo.
Fellow Korean star Song Hye-kyo is another fan of S-shaped wavy hair bangs. You'll often see her sporting this hairstyle in magazine shoots or in television dramas. This is definitely a fringe hairstyle that adds a relaxed youthfulness to your appearance.
With a slight curl inwards at the end, the romantic French-style open part is a fringe style for every face shape. As seen on local actress Carrie Wong, the fringe style is a great everyday look that offers a hint of relaxed sophistication.
Moreover, this French-style open part is easy to maintain. You just have to blow-dry the fringe after washing to keep its shape, and you’re good to go. Did we also mention this fringe style is good for showing off your cheekbones, as local actress Bonnie Loo shows here?
