It’s official—Keke Palmer is bringing back baby bangs just in time for fall, and we’re obsessed with the retro vibes. The multi-talented star debuted her fresh look on Instagram on September 22, marking the start of the fall equinox with a chic hairstyle switch-up. The cut? A subtle and cute fringe that stops right at her eyebrows.
Captioning her post, “A night out with me and my basket bag,” Palmer shared snaps from her evening at a Lil Kim concert, but it was her adorable baby bangs that stole the spotlight. Unlike bold, blunt bangs or the softer curtain style seen on others, Keke put her unique spin on the trend with a wispy, inward-flipping fringe that added just the right amount of volume. Paired with her sleek, layered blowout, the look was all about fun, flirty vibes for the new season.
Keke is known for switching up her hair often, but these bangs feel like a fresh, understated take that’s still completely on-trend. Her makeup complemented the look perfectly, with bronzy tones and golden highlighter to keep things warm and glowing. The red blush and matching red gloss tied everything together, giving her a polished but effortless feel.
As the comments rolled in, it’s clear Keke’s new ‘do had everyone thinking about a trip to the salon. “’Should I get bangs now?’ – every woman watching this,” one fan joked, and we can’t say we disagree. Fall’s here, and if Keke Palmer’s baby bangs are anything to go by, it’s the perfect time for a hair transformation.
