Definition
Short hair that is cut straight across the forehead. 'Bangs' refers specifically to this hairstyle.
Usage & Nuances
'Bangs' is the American English term; British English uses 'fringe.' Always plural in English—never say 'a bang' for hair. Used only for hair, not for loud noises (where "bang" single means something else). Common collocations: 'cut bangs,' 'have bangs,' 'grow out your bangs.'
