For several years, oblique bangs have been one of the leading trends in the beauty industry. This haircut design is considered very effective and stylish: bangs on one side give the appearance a gloss, freshness, playfulness and some coquettishness.
Who is it for?
According to leading stylists, almost every woman can find the best option for a slanting bangs due to the abundance of her modifications. Narrow elongated faces are perhaps considered the only exception: with a similar hairstyle, they will become narrower and lose any attractiveness.
In all other cases, you can safely choose slanting strands on the forehead. Professionals distinguish at least a dozen of their varieties and styles.
In order to choose exactly your option, you should take into account the features of the face. It's no secret that many people choose a hairstyle based on a beautiful picture in a magazine - this is the wrong approach, since each face has its own characteristics (shape, oval, cheekbone and chin line), so that bang that looks spectacular on one girl can turn another into gray mouse.
Therefore, do not look at other women - take a closer look at yourself in the mirror: evaluate your appearance full-face and in profile, think about what parts of your face do not seem attractive enough to you, maybe you want to emphasize one of the details, and remove the other, on the contrary, shadow.
If you are the owner of a rounded face with delicate features, any options for oblique bangs in combination with elongated hair will suit you.A large number of diagonals will lengthen the oval and make it more refined, by the way, such an effect can even visually increase a woman’s height.
For girls with a wide forehead or a triangular shape of the face, it is better to give preference to shortened versions of the bangs obliquely, for example, a square looks stylish, complemented by bangs on one side. So in the lower part of the face the missing volume will appear, and the upper corner will be visually cut off. Milling a slice in this design is not worth it.
For rectangular and square faces, the best choice will be the average length - so that the lower edge of the bangs touches the cheekbone line, and the most successful haircut to this style will be a bob or any other voluminous hairstyle. In this case, you can smooth the massiveness and angularity of the jaw.
If the hair is very thick and stiff, then it is advisable to choose a torn bang on one side, however, on thin naughty strands this option will also look pretty nice. But with curly strands, it is better to give preference to haircuts without bangs, otherwise you will have to lay your haircut daily, pull out the strands with an iron and fix with styling tools, and in rainy and foggy weather it will curl, destroying all the style thought out and created by you.
