Big, heavy bangs are such a major hair trend right now – everyone seems to be trying them out. A thick fringe says edgy and hip thanks to celebs and musicians like Zooey Deschanel and Florence Welsh (Florence + the Machine).

At the Billboard Music Awards, even girl-next-door types like Carly Rae Jepsen and Taylor Swift channeled their inner rocker chick with bold eye makeup and heavy bangs.
