Let's look at several fashion trends when creating hairstyles, with an emphasis on elongated strands.

• Romantic retro image - we will get such an effect if we create an unusual thermowave made on long strands above the forehead.To do this, the strands need to be dried using large brushing or curlers and lay to one side, fixing with a strong fixation varnish.

• Parting - the separation of the strands of hair together with the bangs can be performed exactly in the middle relative to the center of the forehead, or the parting can be shifted to the right or left. The essence of styling is that the strands are located in an even and smooth layer on each side of the parting. And you can fix these strands in the form of a hoop on the back of the head or leave them in free overhang. There is another option - to fix part of the strands with a hairpin at the temple.

• Weaving - Long strands over the forehead can be braided in the form of a braid, using strands from the occipital as well as the temporal regions. Scythe can be directed in any direction and start from the temple. To perform such weaving, the hair length of the bangs should be at least the length of the circumference of the head - only in this case the hairstyle will look as natural and effective as possible. This type of styling has recently been quite popular with young people.

• Straightening - This styling method is performed by pulling the strands using a brush and hairdryer. The hair is led away from the face to the side and the ends are either curled outward or tidied inward. This styling technique looks especially beautiful on beveled bangs, and such a hairstyle looks very elegant and natural.

• Double sided - This is the most common and easiest way to stack elongated strands located near the face. The hair is pulled out with a hairdryer or iron, then it is slightly combed in the root zone and divided into partings by hand. The appearance should be deliberately careless, while the hair at the same time creates a flying effect.

• Scarf or scarf - This method is quite easy to implement. You will need a ribbon or scarf that can be combined in color with your main outfit and complement it. When laying, gently comb the strands from the forehead to one side, and then around the head over the hair we tie a scarf. The knot can be hidden behind under the hair or, conversely, tie it on the forehead in the form of a bow. There are many variations, but the essence is the same - remove all long strands under a wide ribbon.

In order to more easily deal with styling, experts advise you to adhere to several important principles.

• It is much easier to dry and straighten the hair strands in the right direction using the slotted nozzle for a hairdryer. At the same time, the hair dryer itself must have high power and have at least 3 temperature switching modes.
• When drying hair, hot air is used, but in order to preserve the hairstyle, the hair must be cooled in the cold mode of the hair dryer.
• Carefully use styling products - if there is an excess of them, the hair will look stale and give in to styling poorly.
• Watch the quality of your hair - regularly remove split ends and use moisturizing and nourishing masks. Only on beautiful and healthy hair styling looks the most advantageous.
• Styling should be done on clean hair - this is the key to the success of all work.

Today, hairstyles with elongated strands are more relevant than ever. And the variety of accessories and all kinds of styling tools helps to create almost any stylistic image you have conceived.

As a rule, any woman likes frequent changes in her appearance, and almost every woman at least once in her life has a question about how to cut her bangs on her own so as not to change her entire hairstyle. In fact, this is quite feasible and not so difficult if you know how to get down to business.

So, let's start shaping our elongated bangs.

• Comb your hair and identify the strands above the forehead that you are going to cut.
• The rest of the mass of hair must be moved to the back of the head and secured with hair clips.
• That part of the hair that you have outlined for cutting, you need to divide in the horizontal direction into 2 equal parts, while the upper part must be fixed with a clip and pulled up - now we do not need it.
• The remaining volume of hair will need to be firmly taken between the fingers of your hand to get an even cloth and pull them down on yourself.
• You already know how long the strands you need, so it is at this distance from the forehead that you make the first cut. You need to cut off the hair exactly across the canvas strands sandwiched between the fingers. It is advisable to do this in one clear and faithful movement.
• Now we need the second part of the hair, which we fixed for a while and pushed up. With her we will do the same - stretch down on ourselves and fix between the fingers of the left hand.
• It is necessary to make a second horizontal cut at the same distance from the forehead as when forming the first part of the bangs.
• Now you need to comb the resulting strands and, if necessary, smooth out the existing imperfections, as well as correct the broken-out individual hairs.

That’s all - this is where the whole process ends. If you want to make the slices more fluffy, pick up a special hairdressing scissors for thinning and process the tips of the strands with them to a height of about 1-2 centimeters. The milled strand looks more lightweight, and visually this creates the effect of additional volume.

Now trimmed strands need to be laid so that they do not get into the eyes and do not interfere. To do this, we need styling products, a round brush and a hairdryer.

• We apply styling agent to clean and damp hair.
• Again we divide the bangs into two vertical parts, and we fix the upper part with a clip, and with the remaining part we begin work.
• By setting the dryer on a hot dryer. We wind the hair on a large round brush and carefully dry each strand. At the same time, we pull the hair down, and the ends of the strands slightly twist inward.
• Only after we thoroughly dried the first part of the strands, do we start drying the second part. It is done in exactly the same way as in the first case.

If you want to direct the entire volume of the strands to one side, then this can be done in two ways.

• The first way. The entire mass of strands is treated with a styling agent, parted, and then dried with a hairdryer, directing the strands in the direction you need. In the drying process, the tips are twisted inward. Then you need to walk through the strands with cold air and cool them in order to keep the created hairstyle shape as long as possible. And fix it will help hairspray medium or high fixation.

• The second way. Strands of bangs are plentifully treated with a special styling gel, and the whole mass of hair is combed out with a comb in the right direction. Now the strands can be dried with a hairdryer and fixed near the temple with a hairpin. If desired, the ends of the hair can be curled, then the hairstyle will become solemn and romantic.
