2. Rosemary’s Baby (1968)

Mia Farrow’s pixie cut, which was given to her by the one and only Vidal Sassoon, is still considered to be one of the most iconic hair moments in film history. The baby bangs that he gave her only added to her gamine charm, both on and off screen.

4. The Shining (1980)

Wispy and asymmetrical—two adjectives to mention to your hairdresser if you want to replicate Shelley Duval’s bangs in The Shining. She certainly showed us that those type of bangs look great in a number of situations, such as running for your life around the Overlook Hotel.
