Kaley Cuoco’s Red Carpet Hairstyle She Deeply Regrets

Despite Kaley Cuoco’s 2013 bangs not quite landing, the style actually isn’t overly difficult to pull off, at least in Luna Viola’s opinion. “Faux bangs are very easy to use as they are usually clip-in extensions that you clip to the real hair so it requires minimum styling,” the hair artist explains exclusively to Glam. “However, they need to match the color perfectly to be undetectable and sometimes require some added layers to blend with the rest of the hair for a natural and seamless result.” This may have been part of what went wrong for the “Charmed” actor; while the color was a perfect match to the rest of her blond hair, the clip-in bangs didn’t flow naturally. 

“Any backcombing or teasing at the crown makes the whole look structured and unnatural, elongating Kaley’s face shape,” Viola adds, noting that if she had to style this look, she would position the hairpiece closer to where natural bangs would be, a shorter distance from the hairline, and opt for “less volume.” As for what hairstyle would look best on Cuoco, Viola says, “She would suit the faux bangs paired with a soft high bun or sultry long straight hair for a youthful yet stylish look.” We know this iteration would suit the star, as Kaley Cuoco’s style transformation has included experimentation with updos and less-blunt fringes, all of which have looked stunning.

If working with a hairpiece still sounds overwhelming, there are other options, including the curling iron hack that will give you curtain bangs without actually cutting your hair. And if you’re leaning more toward the real deal, there’s a false bangs TikTok hack that lets you test drive a fringe before committing. Just clip your hair on top of your head and secure with a headband to decide if real bangs suit you or whether you’re better off sticking to hairpieces.
