Style icon Michelle Obama is celebrating her birthday by adding a blunt, textured bang — which comes right before inaugural festivities get under way. Recently chosen by Refinery 29 as the ‘Best Bang Trim’ in Chicago, celebrity hairstylist George Gonzalez, who has worked with Oprah and HARPO for 11 years, is here to discuss all things fringe with BeautyStat!

Bangs 101:

“Michelle Obama‘s new bang is texturized which gives a softer piecey edge to the normal blunt style,” reveals George Gonzalez of George The Salon Chicago.

“To achieve, ask your stylist to chip in with the tips of their shears followed by using texturizing scissors to soften the initial cut to finish.

Hair types that are very coarse, thick and curly will have a harder time pulling this look off unless you want to take the time to use a blow dryer and flat iron to style. Ideally, straight or slightly wavy strands that are fine to normal will work best for this new ‘Obama Bang‘.”
