Clip-in bangs are magical. I wasn't a believer until a $22 fringe piece changed my entire look earlier at the beginning this year, and since then I've watched more stars than I can count on two hands sport the non-committal look.
As a PSA—because you should really invest in your own clip-in fringe—we've got the Instagram receipts that prove basically every star is faking us out in chic fashion.
