The 20 Hottest Hairstyles of 2012

Bangs remain popular for 2012 and these blunt ones with long hair are cropping up on red carpets throughout the world. This cut works beautifully on Olivia Wilde because the wispy layers frame her face and offset her strong jaw. Her bangs bring attention to her eyes (that's the beauty of a good bang).

To get this look, ask your stylist for bangs that hit the eyebrow (not above, but AT the brow) and taper at the corners. Make sure to get long layers cut into hair starting at the chin on down.
