For each, you can choose the best option so as to emphasize the advantages and hide the imperfections of appearance. With the help of a bang, the image of a woman and the perception of her style are largely formed. The most common is straight bangs with lengthening on the sides.

In addition, the hairstyle will be optimal for women of mature age, on the face of which signs of age-related changes have already become noticeable.
If we talk about contraindications for such a haircut, then they can include:
- deep set eye sockets;
- overhanging eyelids;
- too small face;
- weakened thin hair.
A fringe with an arch emphasizes the eyes and attracts attention, it serves as a strong beautiful face frame that visually softens even the roughest features. It is no coincidence that such a style of haircut was preferred by such famous divas as: Zooey Deschanel, Nicole Richie, as well as Florence Welch.
Such a bang, depending on the type of execution, can be perfectly smooth and torn. The first option is more to face the ladies with thick voluminous hair, with a rounded face and rather plump cheeks - this will put advantageous accents on the eyes and lips. The ragged version with strands extended at the edges is more to the face of women with angular features.
Advantages and disadvantages
Straight elongated strands have many advantages that have turned them not just into an element of hairstyle, but made a real trend.

Therefore, the bangs should be maintained in perfectly clean condition and be sure to style.

Types of straight elongated bangs
Elongated bangs are straight or torn.
Perfectly flat with a pronounced cut line has been relevant for more than a decade - such styles are optimal for owners of elongated hair, especially Asian. Girls with a Slavic type of appearance need to be more careful when choosing such a style, since soft and rather naughty curls simply do not lie as they should, and often give the impression of untidiness and sloppy.
The arch-shaped bangs look very impressive - they are made out in a semicircle, due to which the locks very gently and accurately go into the total volume of the hair and imperceptibly merge with the haircut.
Strands on the sides of the face on both sides are considered to be an excellent solution for women of any age, and in the vast majority of cases, the weaker sex comes to a similar model quite by accident - they do not receive bangs purposefully, but during the growth of shortened locks. When they reach a length just below the eyebrows and begin to beautifully frame the face, many stop growing them further and leave them updated. It is noteworthy that a similar length can be picked up in a tail or braided if necessary.
However, keep in mind that such a model is completely unsuitable for girls with narrow cheekbones and a too large forehead - then the face, already elongated, will become even longer.
Straight bangs with elongation along the edges can be made a little torn - you can make the locks even more stylish by experimenting with the length, as well as the thickness and shade of the hair. Stylish asymmetries can be created in combination with a shortened haircut (for example, bean, square or garzon). But on medium and long hair, such solutions do not look particularly good.
You should not resort to such options and women in adulthood - on them the asymmetry and torn edges often look vulgar.
Styling features
Many people try to cut a semicircular bang on their own - this is not worth it, if the regular straight line can be easily trimmed at home, then making an arch-like model without special skill is quite difficult - any incorrect movement and general appearance will be hopelessly spoiled.
It is very important that the bangs aesthetically turn into the main haircut, so the services of a professional master are needed here.
But with the styling of this hairstyle no problems arise. You will need a round metal brush and a hairdryer.
To begin with, the bangs are moistened and a little mousse is applied, then a horizontal parting is done and divided into two identical layers - first, dry the lower one with a hairdryer, then the outer one (you need to twist the ends down).
If you are tired of the standard bang, then you can always lay the strands to the side. To do this, they are divided into two halves with a parting and pulling along the length with a brush, dried with a hairdryer (it is better to fix the hair, otherwise they will return to their original state).
If you have free time, you can divide the bangs into several strands of equal thickness and curl each of them inward - you get a stylish, feminine and retro look, and the hairstyle itself becomes more voluminous and quite magnificent.
If you are tired of bangs, then elongated locks can always be combed back. To do this, they are combed near the roots, bent back and fixed with varnish. If necessary, you can additionally fix the fleece with hairpins, invisible or a rim.
But torn bangs are best laid with an iron, while remember to first apply a composition to the hair to protect the strands. Such a fringe will look perfectly even and mirror-smooth, and if conservatism is not to your liking, then you can stop at the disheveled version, which emphasizes a mischievous and playful nature. To do this, the bangs are divided into strands, lubricated with a styling agent and dried with a hairdryer, slightly wrinkling at the same time.
