# Boys With Bangs Men's Hair Styles on the Fringe By Bianca | Published 2008-05-28 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boy-bangs-mens-hair References: [beauty.glam](http://beauty.glam.com/photos/features/boys_with_bangs/?glamLinkTargetgfmd=20080507) Bangs have seen a revival in [modern hairstyles for women](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/main-character-hair), but as the gallery shows, the fringed look is also proving to be pretty popular with [fashion-conscious males](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tough-guys-soft-sweaters) too. The style ranges from brow-skimming, to longer, layered looks. In fact, some are sporting lengths that fall below their lashes, causing the hair to actually move with each blink. After celebrities first sport a look, it's only a matter of time before it's adopted by the mainstream. Featured in the gallery is **Chace Crawford** who plays a preppy high schooler in Gossip Girls and has longer, sweeping bangs. **Ashton Kutcher**, on the other hand, has shorter, piecey bangs. It's slightly dorky, but he pulls it off. **Brad Pitt**, on the other hand, makes the [feathered, side-swept look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-styles) broodingly hot. **Pete Wentz**, of Fall Out Boy, rocks one of the most popular manstyles this year, the asymmetrical emo look. Finally, **Zac Efron** of Highschool Musical takes it back to the '60s with the bowl cut. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/hair) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Revival of Bangs:** The resurgence of bangs in both women's and men's hairstyles presents opportunities for innovative hair styling products and techniques. - **Fashion-conscious Males:** The growing interest of fashion-conscious males in hairstyles like bangs creates opportunities for grooming and styling products targeted specifically at this market segment. - **Influence of Celebrities:** The influence of celebrities in popularizing fringe hairstyles opens up opportunities for collaborations and endorsements in the beauty and grooming industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hair Styling Products:** The increased demand for hair styling products to achieve and maintain fringe hairstyles creates opportunities for new product development and market expansion. - **Grooming and Styling Tools:** The rise in men's fashion-consciousness and the popularity of fringe hairstyles drive the need for innovative grooming and styling tools tailored for men's hair. - **Celebrity Endorsements:** The influence of celebrities in shaping hairstyle trends offers opportunities for brands in the beauty and grooming industry to collaborate with popular figures for endorsements and product promotions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Performance Styling Haircare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chris-mcmillan.md) - [Men's Temporary Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temporary-nails-for-men.md) - [Complementary Haircut Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hall-of-fade.md) - [Virtual Hair Trimming Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wahl-style-selector.md) - [Virtual Hairstyle Previews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-hairstyleapp.md) - [Expressive Hair Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/main-character-hair.md) - [Gen Z Slang Translators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/student-slang-translators.md) - [Summer-Ready Crochet Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crochet-open-knit.md) - [Singer-Led Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pour-homme-and-neighborhood.md)
