Bangs in a semicircle: varieties, performance techniques and advice from stylists

Probably, there is not a single woman in the world who would not reflect on the question of whether she needs a fringe. It is worth noting that this question is quite serious, because the general concept of not only hairstyles, but also the whole appearance as a whole directly depends on the presence or absence of this important element. Beautifully designed locks of hair near the face can both transform your image for the better and negate all efforts to create an attractive image. In this regard, when deciding on what form you will have fringe, and whether it will be at all, you need to carefully think through your entire image. For clarity, you can use special graphic editors, for example, the Photoshop program, to try on various images and opt for the best option, emphasizing your natural beauty and hiding small flaws.

Today we’ll talk about one of the options for bangs - a semicircle. Hairstyles with an emphasis on a semicircular bangs have been relevant at all times, and still remain at the peak of modern fashion.

Strands trimmed in the shape of a semicircle always attract attention. Having such an interesting detail in appearance, you no longer need to create additional accents in the form of catchy makeup or elaborate jewelry. That is why the bangs are so beloved by the fair sex and are not going to give up their positions, despite the emergence of new forms of haircuts.

In order for the fringe to look spectacular, there is an important condition - Your hair should be thick and well-groomed. Hairdressers say with confidence that a semicircular section of strands is well suited to almost any type of facial structure.

Let's take a closer look at the cases in which and for what you can use a semicircular fringe:

• smoothes the angular contours of the face with strongly protruding cheekbones, a massive angular chin;

• helps to balance the overall impression with a triangular structure of the face, when there are wide zygomatic arches and a pointed chin;

• gives the face a more elongated appearance if it has the shape of a circle;

• helps correct too high forehead;

• focuses on the shape of the eyebrow line and emphasizes the eyes;

• completely hides wrinkles on the forehead and distracts attention from wrinkles near the eyes.

As you can see, one bang can solve many problems. It is important only to choose the right length and make a neat, even cut. This is a very important point, since any irregularities will immediately catch your eye and spoil the impression of the whole hairstyle as a whole. One of the nuances of such a fringe is the fact that it grows very quickly and in a month you will need a correction. But not everyone can visit the master on time, and then many women take up scissors themselves. The results of such an action without certain skills can be unpredictable.

The length of the semicircular bangs can vary: it can close the eyebrows, rise one or two centimeters above the eyebrows or even be short, located approximately in the middle of the forehead. It all depends on the shape of the face, its advantages or disadvantages, as well as on the wizard’s ideas for creating your image. This design of hair strands is often combined with a wide variety of hairstyles and even with long hair. Equally well, a semicircular shape will look with smooth hair or contrast with curly curls. In any case, the oval bang will look interesting and attractive.

The use of a semicircular bangs is widely used not only for women's hairstyles. Modern models of men's haircuts often and very successfully use this form, creating a mischievous and unusual image. Most often, such haircuts are chosen by young people who are not afraid to experiment with their appearance. In addition, quite often, semicircles form strands in the face and in children's options for haircuts - this technique looks equally good for both boys and girls. Moreover, the semicircular bangs are suitable for short, medium and even long types of children's haircuts.

The semicircular bangs can be made in different ways, so there are some varieties of this manipulation.

• Arch shape - it can be made with an arc with a rather sharp radius in the center of the forehead or the arch becomes soft, almost parallel to the eyebrow line with a smooth rounding in the temple area.

• Bangs with elongated side strands - This is one of the most feminine forms and it creates a very romantic look. In shape, it is made in the form of an arch, while the side strands smoothly pass into the general array of hair and practically merge with it.

• Arcuate shape - the most traditional and universal; during execution, it is important to determine to what depth the cut will be made. As a rule, such an arc is made smooth, without sharp transitions of the central part relative to the lateral parts of the bangs.The arc can be curved, almost round or concave, and rounded at the edges of the temples.

• Oval shape - it can be oblique, asymmetric, sparse, and also thick and long. Oval bangs are able to combine perfectly with haircuts made in the technique of "cascade", as well as with the classic "square" or "bean".

The semicircular bangs look most advantageous and voluminous for those whom nature has endowed with thick and fluffy hair. But even if you do not have such a rich head of hair, a semicircular section will visually add to the bangs volume and density.

The regrown semicircular fringe looks a bit untidy and urgently needs correction. You can cut the strands for yourself at home, on your own. But before you start cutting, you need to prepare the necessary equipment.

• Well sharpened straight scissors. It is best if they are special hairdressing scissors purchased in a specialized store. It will be quite difficult for you to cut an even cut with office scissors.
• Comb with a “tail” to separate the strands and frequent teeth.
• Hairdressing clips for hair.
• Scissors for milling hair.
• Spray bottle with water.

Before you begin the process of cutting, you need to wash and dry your hair. It will be very difficult for a layman to cut completely dry strands, so they need to be slightly moistened. However, you should remember one very important point on which the success of the entire manipulation depends - after the cut hair is dried, it will become a little shorter, therefore, choosing the optimal length of the strands, you should not forget this circumstance and add about one centimeter to the desired length of the finished bangs. Exactly the same increase in the length of the strands must be done for curly or wavy hair.

Now you can move on to the technique of execution.

• We determine the density of the bangs and find a place for parting. The density will directly depend on how much your fringe will go deeper, and the higher it rises to the point of the crown, the more visually it will seem thicker. Separate the strand that we will cut and do two more side partings on the right and left - so we outlined the contours of the future bangs. The rest of the hair needs to be fixed with clips so that they do not interfere.
• Now we need to finally determine the width. Do not cut the bangs on the principle of "from one ear to the other." It looks messy and too simple. In the fashion world, it is now important to make a semicircular cut, which closes the forehead at a distance of 0.5 centimeters below the eyebrow line. Next comes a slight lengthening of the strands, which starts from the end of the eyebrow to the temple - this area is cut at an angle, leading to a soft and smooth line so that in general you get an arched arch.
• During the cutting process, the strands should be in a tight state, fixed between the fingers. Sometimes, if there are no good skills and the eye is not developed, you can use a pre-prepared cardboard template - this will greatly simplify the haircut procedure.
• Now you need to comb all the strands properly and cut off the broken-out single hairs flush with the rest of the bangs hair mass. If you want to add volume - profile the ends of the strands with thinning scissors.

Caring for a semicircular fringe, especially if it is done on straight hair, is quite simple and does not require any special devices and skills. We apply any styling product to wet hair, distribute it along the entire length of the strands and prepare them for drying with a hairdryer using hot air.To make a beautiful volume and bend the ends of the bangs inward, you will need a round brush for styling. Choose the diameter of such a brush, guided by the thickness of the hair. The thicker your bangs are, the larger the diameter of the brush you need to choose, then after drying the strands will look really natural and beautiful.

You can dry a semicircular fringe without creating an additional volume. In this case, a round brush is not used, and the strands are dried using a special so-called skeletal hair comb. With its help, the strands slightly rise and, after drying, return to their original position.

After you dry your bangs, switch the hair dryer to cool air and cool your hair properly. This must be done so that the strands retain their shape as long as possible. Now you can fix the result using varnish, and the hairstyle is ready. Look at yourself in the mirror - you are adorable!

Hairdressing professionals advise not to use strong or super strong fixation varnishes when fixing the shape of the bangs. Such a frozen monumental structure looks very unnatural and ugly. It is best to fix the strands with styling mousses or foams. Then your bangs will remain mobile, lively and will look organically against the background of the rest of the hair mass in the hairstyle.

If you have naturally wavy or curly hair, but you really want to become the owner of a clearly made semicircular fringe, before you cut it, you need to take care to straighten your hair. This can be done using a special electric smoothing iron or resort to more radical methods - keratin straightening. On smooth and smooth hair, semicircular bangs with clear cut lines look very impressive and impressive.

You can revive the hairstyle using various hairpins, rims, ribbons, which decorate the bangs. Stylists advise using the colors of accessories that contrast with your hair color or choosing their shades in tune with the main outfit worn on you to create a single, visually harmonious image. Additionally, you can decorate your hair with dyeing, highlighting or various types of tinting. This will help add accents to your look and make it more expressive and memorable.

Quite interestingly, straight semicircular bangs are combined with curly hair of the main haircut. Such a contrast distinguishes the bangs from the total mass of hair and makes all the emphasis on its well-defined and clear form.
