14. Hairdo by HairUWear Clip-In Bangs Ulta.com ($29)!!!!  Ever since Beyonce debuted her new bangs at the Brooklyn Nets Game , then the showstopping new bangs on our First Lady Michelle Obama at the Inauguration .. Seems like everywhere we turn bangs have been the trend. I just love the blunt bangs in my beauty inspiration photo above, so that is why I wanted to include this. Now with the help of clip-in bangs , we no longer have to be slaves to cutting our own hair. Just a quick snap and their in or out.
