The following are four types of bangs that are considered “age-inappropriate” and can easily make women in their 30s look older than they are. Even top celebrities like Côn Lăng, wife of Jay Chou, and Korean idol Jennie have fallen victim to these styles, so it’s best to avoid them unless you’re absolutely sure.

1. Thick and Straight Bangs

Côn Lăng, known for her elegant appearance, recently surprised many by opting for thick bangs, only to be criticized by netizens as looking “extremely aged.” While thick bangs can give off a chic and elegant vibe, they often make the face appear dull and less defined. Especially if you have a low forehead or wide cheekbones, this style will backfire immediately. Instead, go for softly curved and fluffy bangs to maintain a soft and balanced look for your face – a safe yet trendy choice.

2. Short Eyebrow-Length Bangs

In a music video released earlier this year, Jennie surprised fans by departing from her usual goddess image and sporting short eyebrow-length bangs. While the look was glamorous and bold, many netizens felt it aged her by five years.

This type of bang may seem edgy, but it is extremely face-specific, especially for those with round faces or less defined features. Without careful styling and makeup, this look can quickly go from “high fashion” to odd and mismatched.

3. Thin and Sparse Bangs

Thin bangs are meant to create a youthful and sweet impression. However, if cut too thin or improperly maintained, they can quickly turn into a disaster, making you look older and less vibrant. Especially when the roots become oily or stick to your forehead after improper blow-drying, your skin will look dull, and your overall face will lack vitality.

Many believe that Korean-style thin bangs can easily make one look younger, but in reality, frequent trimming and styling are required to maintain the natural fluffiness. Otherwise, the hair can quickly become greasy and limp, making you appear tired and lacking energy.

4. Thin S-Shaped Bangs

S-shaped thin bangs are often associated with natural, gentle, and graceful beauty. However, this style is very prone to looking messy if not carefully maintained. With its characteristic soft curls and asymmetry, even a slight change in the curl pattern or hair part can make you look like you just woke up with bed hair. Worse still, the stray strands in front of your forehead may fail to flatter your face and instead create a cluttered impression.

For those with thin hair or less defined facial features, this style requires careful consideration. Without proper styling, you may end up with an unintentional “messy on purpose” look.
