Lovely ladies at all times sought to look their best. To do this, they dressed beautifully, applied makeup, devoted long hours to caring for the body, face and hair. By the way, a fashionable hairstyle has always been in the arsenal of beauties by no means the last weapon: remember how the fashion trends for this or that styling or haircut changed over time, and how the fair sex tried to follow these trends.
Such a detail of a hairstyle, like a fringe, then came into fashion, then remained in the shade. Now she is in trend, besides, there are many ways to wear and style it. How to properly lay it so that it emphasizes all the advantages of your appearance - read the article.
What is required?
The bangs are a rather noticeable part of the hairstyle, and if it is laid ugly, it immediately spoils the whole impression. Let's see if it is difficult to lay it on your own, and what it takes to complete it.
- For starters, you should purchase a hair styling product. It can be a spray, mousse or foam. Choose a product depending on your hair type: the owner of curls or hair, prone to oiliness at the roots, water-based sprays or clay-based products are best suited, and for ladies with straight, dry or normal curls - foam or mousse. At the hairdresser, you may be asked to put your bangs in a special professional product enriched with vitamins. It will make the hair more pliable, moreover, it will protect against temperature effects and UV radiation.
Whatever styling product you end up choosing, remember that for a bang, you need to take it just a little bit: a droplet the size of a pea. It must be applied on washed, slightly damp curls.
- By the way, cleanliness is a prerequisite. If you are not a supporter of daily shampooing, wash your bangs separately. Fill a drop of shampoo, rinse thoroughly, dab excess moisture with a towel, and you can apply a styling product.
- The following necessary attributes for styling the bangs are a hairdryer and a comb in the form of a brush or “massage”. Such a comb is needed in order to grab the hair along its entire length and smooth it by drying with a hairdryer. In this case, we use the hair dryer as follows: we transfer it to the mode of small blowing, we direct the air flow so that it goes in the direction of laying the bangs. As the hair dries, if you are satisfied with the way your bangs are laid, set the hairdryer to a cold mode, then once again perform the same manipulations.
The final touch will be combing the bangs and its "varnishing" (if desired).
Just remember that the bottle with the varnish must be kept at a distance of 20-30 cm from the face and when spraying, cover your eyes with your hand. Do not abuse this tool, otherwise instead of a beautifully laid bangs, you will get a stiff tuft of hair.
How to lay?
Times are changing, and the current fashion is very loyal to those who want to be at its peak. There are no more strict frames, for example, that the fringe should be on the eyebrow and be sure to be straight, or the like. You can put your little bang in exactly the way you like, emphasizing the dignity of your face.
These are the forms that are now in trend.
- Straight. It can be of almost any length. The shortened version is chosen by lovers of daring creativity, the average (classic) is preferred by conservative stylish ladies, and the fringe reaching the eyelashes hints at a certain riddle and extravagance.
- Slanting. This variety does not get along with curls, as the main rule when cutting and styling a slanting bangs - it should be smooth, solid, without dropping out strands.
- "Torn". This option also does not cut on curly curls. For all the seeming "sloppiness" the "torn" bangs have their own styling rules. So, it is always worth pulling it down with a hairdryer, and if you want, you can twist its tips or leave them straight. Such a fringe implies a certain degree of negligence, therefore the main requirement is its cleanliness, and it is completely optional to lay a “hair to hair”.
Now let's talk about what kind of experiments are possible with this detail of a female haircut.
- Bangs can be tightened. You can take large curlers or put in a “massage” and a hairdryer, twisting it inward during the drying process. When the result is achieved, sprinkle the hair with medium fixation hairspray.
- If you are the owner of curly hair, you probably straighten your bangs. It is convenient to do this with a hairdryer and large diameter brushing. The sequence of actions is as follows: alternately clinging locks of bangs to the “teeth” of brushing, “blow” the hairdryer first from the bottom up (to get volume), and then the other way around (to straighten the locks).
- Hair straightening is also possible with the help of ironing. But there is one important nuance: it is strictly forbidden to use it if the hair is wet.
The iron dries hair very much, therefore, straightening the bangs, “walk” on it with the device 2-3 times, not more, otherwise you risk getting a “straw” effect.
- If you want to change the image from time to time, remove the fringe from the face, stitching it with "invisibles" or beautiful hairpins. Thus, you can lay it on its side or put it back.
- Lovers of bright accents in the image can fix the fringe with a scarf, scarf, bandage, rim or ribbon. At the same time, it can also be combed on one side or hidden under an accessory, opening the forehead.
- Girls who love romantic “flying” hairstyles can try to put a bang on the parting. This can be either a straight parting in the center of the head or side part, in which most of the hair appears on one side of the face, and the smaller part on the other.Separate all the hair in the selected way and style it with a hairdryer, smoothing the fringe with a brush in the selected directions. Sprinkle hair with varnish.
- Fashion, as you know, has a tendency to return, and this applies to its various industries - it has not ignored the hairstyles. The pin-up style, popular in the 30s of the last century, again asserts itself. And which styling was typical for the pin-up girl? Large curls and curled bangs. By the way, it could be laid both as a single “roller” or as separate “pretzels”, securing them with “invisibles”. It is easy to make such a hairstyle: it is enough to wind a bang on medium-sized curlers or do it with a curling iron.
- Now remember the disco style of the 80s. Hairstyles at that time were voluminous, with a strong fleece. If you like the style of those years, you can try to make such a styling. To do this, wind the fringe over the curlers or curling iron, then comb it from the bottom, and then smooth it from above and fix with varnish.
- The hairstyle with a bang braided in a braid looks very interesting. To perform such styling, you have to master the French weaving. While braiding the bangs, use also long locks of the bulk of the hair. You can “bring” weaving to the ear or even to the back of the head. Fix the braid with an invisible one.
Fashion trends
The 21st century is very loyal to fashionistas and women of fashion. The emphasis is now on developing a personal style of a person, rather than strictly following the canons. Accordingly, the choice of hairstyle, and, consequently, the shape of the bangs, remains with you.
You need to focus on what suits you and emphasizes your personality. Of course, every season has bangs, favorites. This is what is trending now.
- Bangs. In fact, it’s not even a bang in its traditional sense, but just a shortened lock, cut near the face. Has the effect of growing bangs.
- Slanting with thinning. Suitable for creating a careless daring image. It looks very nice with a ladder haircut.
- Side bangs Suitable for almost every type of appearance and style of clothing. It can be long, medium or shortened - it doesn’t matter at all, you will be “on style” in any case by doing this styling.
- "Torn". It looks very cool, especially in combination with creative staining. She can be “worn” with hair of any length, but it is best to emphasize haircuts in the emo style with her help: a “torn” square, a trash cascade and the like.
- Asymmetric. Most often has a triangular or arched shape. On such bangs, lovers of short unusual haircuts stop with their choice, with many "feathers" and sharp corners.
It is important to know that when laying such a fringe, it is worth avoiding the “falling out” of the lock from the general row - that is, if it has the shape of a triangle, then it should lie as a triangle, and not its sloppy likeness.
- Shortened. Such a bang is considered to the middle of the forehead or even shorter. It is worn with both long and short hair, but you need to remember that it is not for everyone. Therefore, before deciding on such an experiment, study the features of your face and, if possible, make a preliminary computer simulation.
Tips
Much has been said about what kind of hair styles are, what haircuts they fit. Let's now figure out how to choose the exact shape and length that is right for you.
So, there are 2 ways to choose a suitable bang: depending on the shape of the face and the type of hair. Consider them.
Face shape:
- any bangs fit the oval face;
- triangular - beveled or straight, but not higher than the eyebrows;
- round - oblique, asymmetric, with graduation;
- a “torn” fringe in several layers is suitable for a square;
- to the face in the form of a rectangle - even thick to the eyebrows or beveled sideways
- a heart-shaped face will decorate a bang with graduation, with "torn" locks;
- a fringe in the shape of a rhombus is suitable for a bang-strand or an oblique long bang;
- the pear-shaped form is balanced by a voluminous fringe with a filing.
Facial features also play a role. So, a long nose will harmonize well with a thick bang, the same option is good for a high forehead.
By hair type:
- on straight smooth curls any options will look;
- hair with small “waves” implies graduation on the bangs, as well as its elongation;
- curly-haired hair, as a rule, is naughty, therefore it is better to refuse a fringe, otherwise it will be necessary to spend a lot of time on its laying;
- oily hair type implies oily skin type in general, so your choice is a thick bang with graduation;
- dry curls are more pliable, they are suitable for options with thinning, asymmetric, oblique;
- thin curls will seem thicker if you cut a straight bang to the eyebrows or oblique on one side;
- thick coarse hair is difficult to style, however you can cut the bangs straight and comb it to one side.
Here, finally, you decided on the length, shape and density, and decided to cut the bang.
Remember: you have to update the haircut at least once a month. At home, this is quite difficult to do, especially if it is milled or trimmed asymmetrically. Therefore, add to the monthly budget a trip to the hairdresser.
