Birkin bangs are named after French actress Jane Birkin who brought the haircut into fashion during the 1960s. These long bangs rest right at the eyebrows or brush the top of the eyelids. While modern Birkin bangs are wispy, they can also be worn blunt to emulate the classic 60’s hairstyle. What’s amazing about Birkin bangs is that you have the option to part them in the center to create a curtain effect or wear them fully on the face.
