8 Pics Of Morgan Fairchild's Voluminous Bangs That Will Have You Reaching For The Scissors

When it comes to stars that have shaped pop culture in the '80s, Morgan Fairchild is certainly among them. The actor starred in the soap operas "Search for Tomorrow" and "Dallas" and has worked on numerous Hollywood projects since the '80s. But while we could go on and on about her career and achievements, today, our sole focus is Fairchild's hair.

Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, the "Flamingo Road" star was always known for her signature blond locks, and one thing about her hair that remained consistent throughout her career is that Fairchild always sported bangs of some sort. From a messy, curly fringe in the '80s to her side-swept bangs in the 2010s, the actor has shown time and time again that bangs not only offer plenty of variety and can entirely change one's look, but also are a great way to add volume to your hair.

Around 1990, Morgan Fairchild sported some classic layers that beautifully blended into straight-across bangs. However, unlike the chunky fringe trends of the 2000s, Fairchild's early '90s hair featured bouncy, blown-out bangs the actor wore slightly swept to one side. The look — showcased in portrait photos — was effortless and chic, and paired with her collarbone-length hair, it was the epitome of '90s haircuts. Dare we say, she rocked the Rachel, the most iconic haircut of all time, before it even became popular.

In the early aughts, Morgan Fairchild swapped the shorter bangs for longer side-swept ones, but she refused to let go of the dramatic volume. In fact, photos of the actor attending the AFI Life Achievement Award given to Robert DeNiro in June 2003 clearly show just how much volume she was able to achieve with her side-swept fringe. Ensuring a portion of it was swept over the top of her head gave the actor plenty of volume around the crown.

A couple of years ago, we saw how the skinny fringe, a nostalgic '90s trend, came back for our bangs, and while actor Pamela Anderson was best known for the look, Morgan Fairchild certainly gave her a run for her money. In March 1996, the "Paper Dolls" star attended the People's Choice Awards, and her voluminous updo for the occasion was absolute perfection. Finished off with soft, piecey bangs, the hairstyle was the epitome of '90s trends.

Morgan Fairchild undeniably had the most iconic '80s hair, and her bangs always played a crucial role. In September 1984, the actor attended an ABC Television event where her effortlessly styled bangs gave incredible volume. While '80s styles like these aren't necessarily as popular today, the way that Fairchild styles her fringe certainly shows just how much volume bangs can bring to your overall hair. In fact, a slightly tamer version of this hairstyle is perfect for anyone who struggles with thin hair and a lack of volume.

If you've wondered just what '80s star Morgan Fairchild looks like now, it's safe to say that nobody is surprised to see the actor still rocking bangs. Unlike the side-swept bangs she favored in the aughts, Fairchild has opted for a more blended fringe in the 2020s. In November 2023, she attended a Lifetime holiday event in California, where her blond locks had us in awe. The actor's long fringe was beautifully blended into the rest of her hair, showcasing that a side fringe is a timeless choice.

While Morgan Fairchild has since shifted to beautifully blown-out, straight hair, in the '80s the actor adored a slightly messy, curly look, and bangs still played a crucial role. When the actor showed up to the Academy Awards in March 1982, her curly bangs were instantly at the center of attention, not only providing plenty of dramatic volume but also adding some playfulness to her otherwise glamorous look.

Anyone who lived through the 2000s knows that side-swept bangs had everyone in a chokehold. And unlike the way side-swept bangs are styled nowadays, back then it was all about an ultra-deep part with bangs swooping across your forehead. While the style often looked ridiculous, some managed to pull it off. And one of them is undeniably Morgan Fairchild, who clearly never has a bad hair day in her life. The actor rocked the dramatic bangs to a Bulgari charity auction in December 2009.

No fringe trend could have gone unnoticed by Morgan Fairchild, who, at this point, could be deemed the ultimate queen of voluminous bangs. Needless to say, the actor also hopped on the comeback of the '70s curtain bangs, showcasing that she stuns with the style too. In November 2019, Fairchild attended a fundraiser benefit in Beverly Hills, California, where her curtain bangs beautifully framed her face as they blended into her soft curls.
