It's the hair cut that's got the beauty world buzzing. We've seen it on Lady Gaga, Beyoncéand everyone in-between.

"The 'micro bang' is a bold statement cut and the right amount of texture is key to pull them off," explainsGonzalez. "If your client's hairline is dense, a bang like this can look fantastic. With a choppy, short fringe, you also can't ignore natural cowlicks. If a client has too many, they should consider the amount of work they will need to do daily to smooth them out. Plus, consider your client's facial features. Will she feel comfortable accentuating her forehead and eyebrows?"
