How to cut bangs?

Properly laid and trimmed bangs are an important element in the overall image of any girl. Even the most experienced master often works on a beautiful styling or haircut for more than one hour, and it will cost a lot of money. How to cut a bang, if there is no time for a salon, but you want to be dazzling? Consider the best haircut options at home.

Properly modeled bangs always look beautiful and attractive. In fashion magazines, models with bangs of a wide variety of types are constantly flashed: with graduation and milling, round and straight, even and torn. Well-chosen options are remarkably combined with the oval of the model's face, hair color and general image.

The choice of variety depends on a large number of factors.

Grading, for example, which is performed to give hair more volume, is hardly suitable for thin and sparse hair. In this case, experienced craftsmen offer easy milling, it will not only preserve the overall structure of the hair, but will not deprive its length.

If your hair is thick and strong, then most of the very shortened bangs will not work for you. To make such hair look successful, it is better to make a slanting or torn.

If the hair is naturally smooth and does not curl, a smooth bang along the eyebrow line will be successful, if desired, you can lower it to the eyelashes. For thick and wavy graduation will be the best option. It will give the hair a well-groomed and voluminous appearance, help to increase or decrease the oval of the face and hide on it unwanted areas.

Depending on the shape of the face, you can choose this kind of bangs, which will help visually correct prominent cheekbones or a heavy chin.

• Oval and round faces - These are universal options for which almost any bangs will do.

• In the case of a square face bangs are simply vital, torn, oblique or uneven species will soften the oval, give it grace. Particularly successful in such a situation will look long slightly curly hair. This will give greater smoothness to sharp cheekbones and chin.

• Triangular oval the face needs a voluminous bang, a straight one will hide a large forehead, and an oblique and smoothly lengthening one will also hide the sharp shape of the chin.

For the right selection of things for a certain hairstyle, it is recommended to visit a professional stylist. In any case, the styling should match the style.

An equally important point in the formation of the bangs is the choice of parting. There are several types of it, the main ones are triangular and U-shaped. The choice between parting depends on the length and type of the desired bangs. For hairstyles and bangs of the caret type, the triangle option is often used.

Depending on the type of styling and haircut, different tools are required, which, however, any fashionista can find in her apartment.

• Scissors. The most important thing on this list. For a quick and easy haircut, you can use ordinary kitchen scissors, but make sure they are sharp and comfortable. For more professional and sophisticated haircuts, it is worth getting hairdressers and thinning.

• Mirror. Any option is suitable here, even a small cosmetic mirror may be enough in skilled hands to make a beautiful bang.

• Hair dryer. Suitable for “wet” styling bangs (using varnishes, wax, mousse) or to add volume.

• Hairbrush. The choice of this tool depends entirely on the type of your hair and the desired bangs. A universal option will be the use of two combs at once - with large and small teeth. The first option will even your hair, the second one will help with adjusting the volume and length of the bangs.

• Water spray It is very useful for naughty hair, but you should not get carried away with moisturizing strands. If the bangs come out already short, then after drying the hair, especially light hair, it may be even shorter.

• Clips or ordinary hairpins. They will help with fixing the hair in the right position and with further styling.

• Clipper. The same indispensable tool for some fashionistas, like scissors. But without the experience and the necessary nozzles, you should not use the machine.

There are minimal recommendations.

• With a little moisturizing with a spray, even the most naughty hair straightens, visually increases in size, it is easier to shape and cut. But, as we already advised, when cutting, it is recommended to dry the strands at least partially to avoid an undesirable result.
• It’s quite difficult to work even with wet hair - scissors can slip, individual strands can stick together. Then easy fixation is acceptable, usually hairspray is taken.
• Try to use only professional tools. Well-sharpened scissors or cloves on the machine greatly simplify the cutting of any hair.

Each independent modeling of hairstyles, whether it's just adjusting the bangs or changing the whole image, begins with an assessment of your hair and head shape. This moment is very important, since not a torn or round fringe fits every face. And not every hair will look harmonious with one or another styling.There are a fairly large number of types of haircuts bangs, consider a few of the most popular.

One of the most common and controversial options. A tattered bangs with a successful haircut can fit any oval of the face, thanks to the friable and uneven structure, it can hide some of the imperfections on the forehead: pimples, wrinkles, redness. A step-by-step instruction for cutting a lacerated bangs type is as follows.

• First of all, it is worth separating the bangs from the rest of the curls with the help of clamps or hairpins.
• Then the hair is slightly moistened and twisted into tight flagella. After that, at the right angle (45-60 degrees), the flagellum is cut, the place for cutting is designated in advance by eye. Watch the final length. It is this distance that will set the length of the entire bang.
• Then the hair is combed, formed into the desired hairstyle and fixed with foam, wax or hair spray.

This option requires attention and great patience from the master. The main difficulty is that the ends of the hair should be straight and symmetrical. As a result, such a fringe will follow a clear semicircular line without unnecessary bends. The length is chosen independently depending on the proportions of the face, most often along the line of the eyebrows. Let's consider the main stages.

• With the help of the necessary parting, form the necessary bangs for yourself, fix the rest of the hair.
• We single out one central strand of hair, along which we will be guided when cutting other curls.
• We make an even incision at a predetermined length.
• Then we follow in any convenient direction from the center of the bangs, gradually slightly increasing (round) or decreasing (in the form of an arch) cut strands. It is recommended to take a little hair each time, so the transitions will be smooth, and you will get a chance to fix something if at some point you make a mistake with the length.

• Be sure to ensure that the hair length on both sides of the bangs is the same and symmetrical. If you wish, you can always align unsuccessful curls to the desired length.
• If you want to get more natural volume, do a very light thinning (although the round type of bangs is typical for thick regrown hairs, so thinning is optional), if you fix it, sprinkle a little with varnish.

Round bangs have their undeniable advantages over other types:

• never out of trend, with the right and beautiful round bangs you will always remain fashionable and attractive;
• does not make the face heavier, on the contrary, makes it younger, focusing on the features of your face: eyes, chin and lips;
• Ideal for girls with irregular shape of eyebrows, large nose or forehead;
• just fixed and does not fit into the eyes, it does not need to be constantly laid and formed.

This option is more demanding on details and skillful hands. To begin with, be patient and calm down - trembling hands are especially undesirable if you are going to make a straight bang without additional tools for straightening hair.

• First, we still gently select the desired length and shape of the bangs, the rest of the hair is fixed with clips.
• On the right side of the bangs we take the most extreme curl, for convenience you can pinch it between your fingers, then choose the desired length (usually lower just below the eyebrow line). The dangerous length of wet hair has already been said.
• The hair is cut at a slight angle to give the bangs a little volume.

• We carry out the same manipulations with the leftmost curl, focusing on the already selected length of the right.
• Then simply select the direction in which we will move, and alternately cut off the remaining strands in the bangs.
• Hair combed, missed locks are adjusted.With the help of special scissors, easy thinning is carried out. After that, the hair is dried, given the desired shape and, if desired, fixed.

A bold and extravagant option that is not suitable for all girls. But this is one of the easiest options in the right hands. Next, we consider the stages of formation of such a fringe.

• First, the necessary parting is done and the part that will go to the bang is highlighted. The rest of the hair is always fixed with clips.
• Part of the strands is cut at a fixed length. By this length you will be guided when cutting the rest.
• Gradually do the same with the remaining strands. After completion, we comb, adjust, mill if necessary.

One of the most original options. Despite the rather simple appearance and uncomplicated formation process, it is able to give any image of spectacularity and mystery. For cutting such bangs at home, ordinary kitchen scissors will not work, and for a more successful result, it is advisable to use thinning already at the time of adjustment. The formation of oblique bangs can be carried out as follows.

• First, select the side from which we will begin to move, and the desired length.
• We take a separate strand of hair and make an incision with the scissors point down (with an angle usually up to 45-50 degrees).
• We move carefully, choosing small strands, from top to bottom (or vice versa) in the right direction, slightly increasing the length of the bangs with each transition. If you wish, you can leave a little more length, then to adjust the result.

• After the bangs are formed, just comb the hair and make sure that the cut line is smooth. You can also resort to thinning if you want to achieve more natural hairstyles.

Many girls prefer purely natural beauty, over the years growing long and well-groomed hair. If you want to cut your bangs in front of these ladies, the largest choice, they can resort to any type already described above.

If the girl wants to restore the length of her hair, then this is also not a problem. An ideal option for a beautiful styling of regrowing bangs is to use fixing elements such as bandanas, headbands and scarves. For reliable styling of a long bang, ordinary invisibles and crabs are also suitable.

We have already mentioned the process of filing more than once. Let's consider a little better what is included in this concept and how to conduct a haircut with milling yourself. Note that the procedure is not recommended for rare and thin hair.

For skilled hands, this is a normal process, and every girl at least once in her life has encountered thinning scissors in a hairdresser. Milling itself means thinning hair in order to increase the volume and give the hairstyle a natural look. The most important condition in this case is that the cloves in the scissors are sharp.

Filtration is carried out in several stages.

• First you must determine the shape of your bangs, if it is already selected (and the filing is suitable for most of the types described), you should separate a small strand of hair from the bangs and fold it into a small bundle.
• After that, two cuts are carefully made with thinning scissors. One is in the middle of the strand, the second is 2-3 cm from the end.
• Focusing on the previous strand, we carry out the same manipulations with the rest of the bangs.
• After thinning, do not forget to carefully comb your hair, and it will be better to even wash your hair so that the cut ends do not remain on the skin and do not spoil the appearance.

A few additional recommendations will improve the result.

• As already mentioned, when choosing a bang, you should rely not only on modern trends, but also on the individual features of your face.It depends on them whether this or that bangs will harmonize with your image.
• When forming, it is better to always leave a little more length on the cut, so that in which case there is a chance to correct the result. Long but ugly fringe is easier to correct than a very short one.
• If you plan to form a direct version of curly hair, a haircut should be done after straightening the strands.

• There are times when a torn bang does not look as impressive as in the picture. Most often this applies to blond hair, which merges with the skin. Torn hairstyle without fixation, can turn into just a shapeless mass. In this case, it is recommended to apply a little styling mousse or wax on the ends of the hair. This will simultaneously highlight them and lock in one position.
• Creating extra volume can be difficult for thin and sparse hair. Then it is worth using a long round bang, where the volume can be created with varnish, a hairdryer or a special comb. This technique is called brushing by the masters.
• You should seriously take the very moment of the cut. When cutting, it is recommended to pull the strands not too much so that the length as a result is not less than expected and the cut line does not fly off. This is especially true for thick and voluminous bangs.

The most important thing - do not be afraid to experiment with hair, as soon as you find a more suitable option for you.
