Thinned bangs, created by an experienced hairdresser, can make any haircut more dynamic. It not only revitalizes and decorates any hairstyle, but also greatly facilitates the styling process. Such bangs harmonize equally well with long and ultra-short hair. But we must not forget that improperly performed thinning makes the strands lifeless, dull and shapeless. From this article you will learn how to mill bangs.
The role of a haircut in creating an image
At the disposal of modern masters there is a whole arsenal of different styling techniques. An important role in creating a harmonious image is given to bangs. With its help, you can radically change your appearance. Over the past few years, elongated and short milled bangs have been especially popular. Before trying this option on yourself, you need to clearly understand that it is not suitable for every type of face and not for every haircut.
Basic concepts
Underthinning means thinning and creating a slightly torn contour along the bottom edge. An ideally even cut line of an oblique or straight shortened strand on the forehead needs systematic care. In addition, styling thick bangs is much more problematic than thinned out.
This technique is performed using ordinary long hairdressing scissors and a special thinning razor. In addition, in the process of work, the masters use clips to secure the strands and a spray gun to wet the curls.
Who is thinning for?
Before milling bangs, you need to figure out in which cases this technique is appropriate. It can be used for women with very heavy, thick hair that is difficult to style and does not hold shape.
Also, this technique can be used by chubby ladies with small features. In this case, the milled bangs, the photo of which will be presented in this publication, will make the image more tender. Whereas straight lines, on the contrary, emphasize any, even the most minor flaws.
For those who decide to make such a bang, it is important to provide for the possibility of creating a light moving hairstyle. Professionally thinned strands fit better and hold their original shape much longer.
Variety of options
Today, hairdressers perform several different types of thinning. So, on a short bang, a technique known as picketing is used. In this caseonly the ends of the hair are processed. Slightly raised comb hair is trimmed with special thinning scissors.
Plunging is considered an equally popular option, which allows to achieve an increase in the volume of processed strands. In this case, each curl is cut separately, and the cuts are made in several places at different distances from the roots.
In addition to the above two options, there is also a classic goyding, during which a fringe is made from strands. Sections are made with the tips of scissors with cutting corners and thinning strands.
What haircuts do bangs go with?
As we mentioned earlier, this option is far from appropriate with any hairstyle. Therefore, before deciding to mill a bang, it is advisable to consult with an experienced hairdresser. It will help you choose the best option. But if you don't have the opportunity to visit a specialist, here are a few general tips.
So, long asymmetrical milled bangs harmonize well with garcon and pixie haircuts. Owners of a bob-car should leave the choice in favor of an oblique thinned version. For girls with long hair, you can complement the image with a long bang split in two.
Women who prefer an elegant, calm everyday style should consider a light, neat thinning without well-defined ragged strands. The bangs should be in harmony with the overall style without attracting undue attention.
Thinned bangs go well with almost all short haircuts, except for the half-box. Their presence is considered one of the prerequisites for creating boyish hairstyles with a lot of volume in the back of the head.
How to mill bangs at home?
To look fashionable and stylish, it is not at all necessary to constantly visit expensive salons. To thin your bangs yourself, you need to take care in advance that there are clips, a spray bottle with water, well-sharpened regular and thinning scissors at hand.
After separating the strands that need to be cut, secure the rest of the hair with special clips.
Comb the curls moistened with water and divide them into three identical parts. Hold one of them between your index and middle fingers. Stretch the strand and, removing your hand from the face to a five-centimeter distance, cut off the excess hair. Take the next section, along with a few of the earlier ones, and trim it.
Then, divide the entire bang into 5-8 strands and, twisting a flagellum from each of them, make two cuts with thinning scissors. Please note that only dry hair can be thinned. Wet curls are processed with a special razor, and this should be done by a professional master.

Strand graduation is carried out using various techniques. The choice of technique dependson several factors, including the length of the bangs and how they plan to wear them.
This option does not look like straight strands that are familiar to us. Therefore, before milling a bang in this way, you need to understand that it will have to be laid on one side. Moreover, this will need to be done until the hair grows back.
Elongated asymmetrical thin bangs
Moderate thinning option suits almost any face shape and all basic haircuts. This multifunctional bang can be made not only smooth, but also voluminous. Also, if desired, it can be completely merged with hair or moved to the other side of the face.
Such bangs are in perfect harmony with long cascading haircuts, classic bob variations and short boyish hairstyles. The sharp-angled elongated version with clearly defined ends is ideal for owners of a rounded or oval face. It allows you to visually correct all the flaws in appearance. So, chubby and wide-cheeked young ladies are recommended to wear bangs, the length of which reaches the earlobe.
