Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Originating in the late 19th century, the noun use of bangs likely derives from the practice of cutting hair straight across at the front (to bang it off). It is related to the verb 'bang' meaning to make a loud noise or strike, though the hair sense specifically refers to an abrupt, blunt cut.
