What are the types of bangs? This question cannot be given a monosyllabic answer, because each client is individual, and the hairdresser is free to independently combine the type of bangs that is suitable for a particular type of face. Below are just the main varieties of possible bangs.
Straight bangs. Straight bangs made with a blunt cut will add expressiveness and stylish accent to any hairstyle. Its length can vary: be above the eyebrows, up to the eyebrows or cover the eyebrows.
For hairstyles in a classic style, bangs to the eyebrows are most characteristic. Such elements of hairstyles are popular at all times and among all ages. Straight bangs to the eyebrows are appropriate in traditional classic and elegant hairstyles.
Straight bangs covering the eyebrows will give the image a share of extravagance and mystery. She looks more successful on thick lush hair.
However, one should take into account the fact that straight long bangs are not suitable for owners of contact lenses and glasses.
Short bangs can be either straight or jagged or stepped. Gradually moving away from the classical style towards the underground, you can seethat the possible variations with different hairstyles are increasing exponentially.
Slanting bangs. This hairstyle is perfect for a square or rectangular face shape. The slanting bangs look just as good in hairstyles made of long straight hair. This style, however, is not recommended for curly hair as it tends to be smooth and accentuated.
The most popular among modern beauties is oblique ragged bangs. Ragged bangs or, in professional terms, graduated, are an adornment of many extravagant hairstyles, for example, in the style of "rock" or "punk". Ragged oblique bangs are suitable for both long hair hairstyles and short combo haircuts.
Structural layered bangs look spectacular on thick hair. Ragged bangs, in fact, have a lot in common with it, because both there and here the same slicing technique is used. Layered bangs are perfect for those with a narrow, long face, whilewhile asymmetrical torn bangs smooth out square cheekbones and give a square face more "ovality".
Finally - tips for those who like to experiment with hair on their own:
1. Ragged bangs are achieved by sliding scissors from top to bottom on straight, dry hair.
2. When cutting your own hair at home, do not immediately cut your hair short - leave yourself a path to retreat.
3. Asymmetrical torn bangs willit looks good if you smooth it with a hair straightener and apply a little wax.
4. When deciding to experiment with your hair, be aware that the new style will have to be constantly maintained, which may require daily styling.
If you're not a fan of styling your hair every day, avoiding the frequent use of hair dryers, curling irons and hair straighteners (or you have problems with your hair and you don't want to heat it up), you should think twice before than to decide on a radical change of hairstyle. Frizzy bangs require daily maintenance and styling on curly hair, as well as short haircuts on thin hair.
