There are countless country queens whose styles we’ve loved emulating over the years. From Dolly’s bold beauty to Lainey Wilson’s one-of-a-kind fashion sense to Miranda Lambert’s boho cowgirl vibe, we adore the way these ladies’ looks are a true reflection of who they are—and Ella Langley has come to be known for her signature style as well. Langley’s wardrobe is a stunning collection of vintage pieces that remind us of Stevie Nicks with a western twist, but it’s that iconic ‘do—specifically those bold bangs—that fans have been after since she rose to fame. 

Ella’s bangs were actually a bit of a happy accident, she shared during an appearance on This Past Weekend with Theo Von. “I have a bad tendency to cut my own hair,” said the singer. “Most of the time it goes bad. That’s how I got bangs in the first place. I was wearing a cowboy hat for a while, and then I took it off because it was windy one show and it was pissing me off. I decided, ‘You know what, I’m gonna take it off,’ and I liked how my bangs were kind of around my face. Like 20 minutes before I walked out on stage, I decided to cut my fringe a little bit and it was so bad.”

While Ella’s bangs have become an integral part of her look, there are a few other famous country ladies who have sported a similar style, with fans saying Ella and Jessi Colter could be twins! Jessi Colter was married to famed country artist Waylon Jennings, and she herself was a talented musician who often collaborated with her husband and enjoyed a successful solo career. Colter similarly sported a bold, textured fringe like Ella, and as fall rolls around and folks are looking for a post-summer refresh, these country-inspired curtain bangs might be the look for you.

How to get the Ella Langley signature long curtain bangs

The features that set Ella Langley’s bangs apart are their thickness, texture and the specific way in which they’re styled. Ella’s signature look begins with a middle part, for the bangs are styled from the center outward. The actual cut of the bangs begins with an intricately parted section taken from the front of the head that’s almost triangular in shape, with several stylists then taking the sectioned piece of hair, twisting it, and cutting below the eyebrow. According to Instagram user @nikolehairxo, this twist is what gives them their specific rounded shape. While many have taken a DIY approach, to truly capture Ella’s look and style, having the help of a professional who can shape the look to your face, as well as guide you in how to style them, is a big help.

How to style Ella Langley bangs

Getting the perfect cut is the start, but styling them to resemble Ella’s iconic look is equally as important. Luckily, countless hairstylists have shared their tips and tricks for getting it just right. In one of Ella’s livestreams reposted by @ellalangleyarchive on Instagram, she showed off her tips for styling her bangs, and TikTok user @kellyhmua gave an in-depth tutorial showcasing how to execute it. Start by taking your bangs, using a bit of mousse and blow-drying them away from your face using a round brush. From there, split them in half down the middle and pull the right side across your head and pin it down on the left side, and pull the left side across your face, pinning it down on the right side. In this position, give them a good blow-dry, let them cool and fluff them out. “It actually works so well,” Ella commented on the video.
