Options for long bangs
Long bangs were previously performed mainly on long hair, a modern fashion in hairdressing removes such restrictions. Elongated options are presented for women with any length of strands and almost any haircut. When choosing a bang, consider the following nuances:
- first of all, elongated models of bangs go to those whose forehead is high enough, but in this case, bangs should be preferred of a thick type, while it can be either straight or diagonal;
- if your face shape is “triangle”, you need to balance the upper wide and narrow lower parts, so make a choice in favor of the bangs up to the temple and lay it on its side;
- chubby girls with magnificent cheeks should abandon short bangs in principle, since they put on the cheekbones and expand the oval, but elongated bangs stretch the face visually;
- if you want to soften the chin line and sharp cheekbones, visually shorten the rectangular shape of the face, choose ragged long bangs on one side;
- straight geometric forms are contraindicated for a round face, diagonal bangs are an excellent option;
- for owners of thick strands cut along one length, the same thick straight bangs will do;
- multi-layer haircuts look better in the company of a side forelock.

In this case, there is often a need for radical changes. Here short haircuts come to the rescue with elongated asymmetrical bangs. After all, the length can vary in the area of the chin and cheekbones.
Torn

Bean
All variations of the bean have been incredibly popular for several seasons, this haircut regularly undergoes many changes. Like pixy, the bean was initially considered exclusively in a short interpretation and was chosen only by the owners of the correct oval faces. In the modern version, the bean goes well with other options for haircuts, of different lengths, and a tandem with a long bang looks especially advantageous. Bob can be very diverse: with sharp and soft transitions, even cut, thinning, ladder, in a duet with multi-layer types of haircuts. The most popular combination is bob and square.
In combination with asymmetry, elongated strands and bangs, it looks especially impressive.
If you look, a bob is the basis for many modern stylish looks. The long bangs are able to add a stunning note to it, expressive and elegant at the same time. One of the undoubted advantages of this bean option is practicality, versatility and flexibility. Styling can be selected depending on the situation: solemn, daily, strictly business. An elongated bean is very relevant in combination with a bang on the diagonal, where the side strands are located below the occipital part. A distinctive feature is the clearly marked transition of the rear shortened strands to the elongated front ones. Stack it most often carelessly, slightly ruffled.
Square
This is the absolute classic of hairdressing, which looks perfect in strict geometric proportions. As a rule, this haircut requires artificial straightening, long-term or daily. You can choose a square for any type of face and structure of the strands, hair color. Bangs - the main element of the caret, capable of completely transforming a canonically strict haircut, making it more romantic, easy, careless. One of the relevant interpretations of the modern square is asymmetric. Asymmetry looks great in geometrically regular forms.
Classical and asymmetrical rack are popular in many respects due to the simplicity of laying, ease of execution and the ability to use at any age. This is a fairly flexible haircut, in which you can breathe new life simply by changing the shape and length of the bangs. If the strands are thick, you can safely consider the arched low forms, the length of which reaches the level of the eyes. An asymmetrical square looks great with the same long bangs in shape.
There is another kind of square that looks great with elongated hooks - graduated. The technique of execution allows you to create a kind of ladder without a clear silhouette, but with the preservation of the geometric shape. The length of the caret with graduation can vary, as well as the range of graduation.
A long torn bang, an asymmetric forelock, a smooth straight cut - all of these options perfectly complement the graduated square.
Garzon
In the classic version, the garcon assumes smooth strands, short, resembling a hat in shape. As a rule, the garzon is characterized by shortened curls in the occipital zone, graduation in length, as short as possible temples and thinning. In the current season, several variations of the garzon are popular, they all look great with elongated bangs. The ultrashort garzon is the most practical, assumes an equal length of not more than 5 cm. Laying it is simple, minimal care, long bangs allow you to make fresh, non-standard and feminine motifs.
Wavy Garcon is another trend. Thanks to the many stars who choose this haircut option, like the elongated version of the garzon, the wavy haircut allows you to make a long bang. You can make the image more feminine, hide many of the shortcomings of appearance, the disproportionate shape of the face.
Another hit of the season - a garrison with graduation, perfectly suits the owners of thinned strands. In this variation, the hair is left at an average level of length, carefully profiling, which results in a voluminous hairstyle. Long bangs give Garzon a contrasting, eye-catching detail. In this case, the anterior zone is not treated as short as the occipital one.
Page
Another luxurious retro haircut adapted to modern realities and combined with an elongated bang is a page. This is a very stylish and unusual option, spectacular, but very difficult to perform. In addition, it suits a small number of types, so before deciding on a page, you must adequately assess your appearance. The page is always performed with a clear contour and elongated thick bangs. Such a frame creates a feminine image, elegant and very stylish. If your facial features are expressive and correct, the oval is beautiful, then you should definitely try such a hairstyle. Strands on the face are formed with lengthening, while the internal ones are shorter than the external ones. Soft edging, creating a clear outline, allows you to create the desired effect.
Cascade
Multilayer haircuts are suitable for those who are not ready to part with the length of the strands, since the cascade looks best on medium and long hair. However, cascading variations can significantly refresh the image, make bright new notes in it, without fundamentally changing your style. Stylists recommend considering the cascade as one of the optimal haircut models for those whose hair is curly from nature or artificially. A big plus of the cascade - in the right way, it goes to almost any woman, if the length, sharpness of the transitions, and the shape of the bang are successfully chosen.
Most often, with cascading haircuts, they make beveled bangs, which connects to the bulk of the strands in layers.
The lateral cut makes it possible to correct the imperfections of the oval and proportions. The fringe can be cut so that it smoothly transitions into a cascade or exists separately. The cascade asymmetry is very relevant, in which the ends are cut unevenly. As well as a soft cascade, an asymmetric one looks great with an elongated bang. The cascade is unpretentious in care and styling, therefore it remains one of the most popular modern hairstyles.
The “ladder” technique has not lost its relevance for several years. This technique allows you to add an element of novelty to any classic haircut. A short flight of stairs goes well with a square, cascade, bean and other options. The perfect combination is a ladder with a long bang. A stepped haircut is perfect for straight strands, and thin, naughty hair will make it more effective, voluminous. One of the most popular modern variations is the combination of an asymmetric long bangs and short flight of stairs with soft transitions from top to bottom.
If you want to create an amazing vibrant look, choose the option with an even cut at the back and graduated steps bordering the face. Balance cut will give slices with graduation and elongated oblique bangs. To correctly choose its length for any haircut, focus on the recommendation of stylists: start from the most correct point on the face - most often it is the chin, cheekbones, or rather, their highest point.
Styling methods
First of all, when choosing a hair styling option with an elongated bang, you need to focus on the individual characteristics of the face, lifestyle, age, status. Solemn styling is more complex, expressive than daily. Formal events suggest laconic hairstyles. An active lifestyle requires practical variations. As for the appearance, stylists recommend that you adhere to the following rules.
A milled long straight bang will perfectly hide a too high forehead, it should be laid in the drying process, twisting inward for volume.
If the face has the shape of a triangle, then it is better to lay a long bang on one side, extending beyond the cheekbones - this will visually narrow the top and balance the bottom. However, avoid increasing volume in the basal and temples.
A round face is also perfect for diagonal bangs, it will make the oval narrower, soften the chin, hide the cheekbones. Therefore, this option is suitable for persons such as square. It is important that the fringe is not heavy, the maximum of dynamism will add lightness and youth to the image and face.
Do not stack elongated bangs statically, this is an antitrend. In addition, this makes the silhouette bulky and outdated. Naturalness is the most fashionable trend of the season, so when laying long strands, use light mousses in small quantities.
If the strands are naughty in styling or very thin, give preference to layered haircuts for long bangs. Then it will fit a lot easier.
