Long curtain bangs, when used right, can make a huge difference, and I believe that’s what they’re doing here. The style’s sleek look and the model’s smile are surely playing critical roles, but just take a look at those bangs!

You may want to avoid buns on thin hair, but when they’re small and subtle, I think there’s no harm in getting them. This model didn’t settle for one; instead, she got two tiny buns on her thin curly hair, and I must confess, it’s glamorous.
