The decision to change the image should always be approached wisely, adequately evaluating all your external data. Below will be presented the main pros and cons of cutting the front curl of the head. The advantages of Korean bangs include:

• a stylish look that will not go unnoticed among your relatives and friends and will tell people a lot about you;

If you decide that the cons are not so great and you can try to make a difference in your image, we will move on to the next question. Like any other hairstyle, Korean bangs are not suitable for everyone. Often, how it will look depends on the shape and characteristics of the face, as well as the structure of the hair.

First of all, you need to remember that Korean bangs, as one of the types of long bangs, visually shortens the face, and also emphasizes the narrow chin. In this regard, it becomes clear that it is undesirable to choose a hairstyle for girls with a triangular type of face, as well as with a round face. On the contrary, Korean bangs are suitable for girls with a high forehead and an elongated long face shape. Also, a long voluminous bangs visually reduces the nose, and if it gives you some inconvenience in size, Korean bangs are your choice.

For owners of a square shape of the face, Korean bangs, thinned in the middle and thick on the sides, are suitable. Blondes with a triangular face will give additional originality to the bangs, which on the sides will touch the eyebrows, and in the middle a little elongated.Those who are lucky to have a perfectly oval face should opt for a thin straight classic Korean bang, which comes to a distance just below the eyebrows.

As for the hair structure, a more suitable option would be a bang for the owner of thick long straight hair with a strong healthy structure. It is best if the hair color is darker, which corresponds to the canons of the creators of this fashion.

In this case, it would be better to always have an umbrella with you, otherwise, if water gets on your head, all your efforts will go down the drain. Sometimes deliberate sloppiness can emphasize the image, because first of all, Korean bangs are an original element of your style.

On the Internet there are many video tutorials in which it is quite intelligible and clearly explains how to properly cut a bang on their own, tells about the techniques for performing a haircut.

A necessary element of a haircut, if you decide to cope with the creation of a new image, is to have all the necessary tools at hand, it is best to buy them in specialized stores. First you need the following set:

• straight scissors;
• thinning scissors;
• comb comb;
• hair clips.

Before cutting, rinse the hair thoroughly and leave it moist, this will help to divide the strands into zones more clearly. The first technique is quite simple. Take a strand of hair of a triangular shape of the required width, given that the haircut will take place in three stages with an increase of 1 cm in each stage. Leave one lower third free, stab the rest of the hair, throwing it back. Note that when the bangs are dry, it will be shortened by a couple of centimeters, so cut so that the bangs are below the eyebrows in the eye area. Each new strand needs to be combed carefully.

After drying, an additional touch will be a neat alignment along the length of the comb, edging, but do not take too much so as not to spoil the look of the hairstyle. If you want to give bangs more splendor, thinning scissors will help in this.

It’s best to watch a video on it in advance, since the first time, based only on the description, it will be difficult to repeat this. A small strand of hair is combed and, without dividing into parts, grab with one hand.

With the second hand, we gradually begin to cut off excess from it, give the bangs the necessary shape. The final stage is still filing. The bangs should be sparse, divided by itself into two parts. That's all, the Korean bangs are ready.

It will be useful wash your bangs more often than the rest of the hair on your head, as it gets dirty earlier, and there’s not always time and opportunity to wash your hair several times a day.

Try not to use oily face care products, since the bangs always touch the forehead and this can get dirty even faster. Remember that choosing a thick bang, you should not forget about special skin care products, for example, tonics for degreasing it. There are special dry shampoos that are very convenient at the modern pace of life. They are sprayed onto the desired area of ​​the head and act as a powder that hides the oily sheen of the skin.

When laying bangs, do not be zealous with different types of stylers. Foams, mousses and gels are good in moderation. Otherwise, even perfect clean strands will not look very good. Also do not forget that you need to distribute them on wet hair. When choosing a styler, it is better to give your preference to varnishes of medium and weak fixation.
