The Coolest People I Know Are Opting for This Low-Maintenance Fringe for Autumn

I’ll start this off by being frank. If you consider yourself a clean girl, this haircut is probably not for you. But for those of us who love a low-maintenance, and I mean a truly low-maintenance, hairstyle, I think I’ve found the coolest one yet. And it you’ll be pleased to know comes celebrity-approved. Enter the torn bang hair trend.

I’ve been spotting this laid-back cut everywhere recently, from stylish celebs like Jenna Ortega to my favourite influencers. It feels cool, effortless and due to its shaggy nature, doesn’t require the upkeep that typical bangs usually require. And I, for one, am being more convinced by the day that this is the style to get for autumn 2025.

What Are Torn Bangs?

Torn bangs are in a similar shape to the curtain bangs we all know and love; however, unlike the soft or delicate edges we’re used to seeing, torn bangs appear worn and shaggy, in a way that makes the fringe look like it's been torn into the hair. Fuss-free, easy to upkeep, and incredibly chic might I add, torn bangs make for the ultimate low-maintenance haircut to get this autumn.

And the best part? This hairstyle will look cool with every hair length and texture. In fact, if you’re worried about having hair that’s too fine for this style, it can actually give the appearance of more volume and body. Not to mention that those who don’t want to spend lots of time at home styling our salon cuts, will love these bangs because of how easy they are to look after at home. The worn edges will also allow the hair to grown out as much as you’d like as well as embrace your natural hair pattern, whether straight, wavy or curly.
