For many women, bangs look like some kind of hairstyle component that is nothing special. Until she shows up. In fact, hair cut in the frontal part of the head is a very powerful image change, a very bright accent that requires careful study.
In this article we will try to answer the age-old female question: to cut bangs or not? And also consider the main variations and opinions of stylists on this subject.
Intro
Conventionally, all women in the world can be divided into two large groups - those who wear bangs and face all the associated problems, and those who do not have such an "accessory". Girls from the first category are pretty tormented, as extra care is regularly required for bangs. But they have long been accustomed to all the costs, so they take them for granted. If a woman does not and did not have bangs, she may well think about the possibilitycut it off, but let's say right away that far from everything is solved. To cut bangs or not is not an easy question, and the answer depends on countless factors. This is the shape of the face, and skin color, and hair type, and taste, and fashion, and mood … In a word, bangs are a unique element of the image, the presence of which is determined by the desire of the hostess.
Who suits bangs?
The second question to which there is no single answer. The thing is that bangs are not pink, not a fitted coat. Therefore, it cannot be said unequivocally that such an element of the image is suitable for such and such, but for others it is categorically contraindicated. There are many varieties of bangs, and they were created in order to please everyone. And now we will consider the main variations of this notorious element of the image and in parallel determine who and what suits.
Straight bangs
The most ancient and most common, even still, option that many girls dream about. The benefits of straight bangs are obvious:
- Cut off in 5 minutes, while the image changes dramatically. Your hair stays long, but your look takes on a whole new character.
- Looks graphic, gives the image a touch of rigor and conciseness.
- Very stylish solution - straight bangs will be in harmony with business, glamorous and rock style.
If you are thinking about straight bangs - cut or not, then first pay attention to the shape of your face. If it is oval, elongated or triangular, then you can safely go to the salonbeauty. But if the face is round or square, alas, this option was not prepared for you. The next factor to consider is hair type. If they are thin, curly, oily or too dry, straight bangs are also not recommended for you. You just can't lay her down.
Asymmetric
Why do those women who have already reached the Balzac age cut their bangs? The fact is that after 45, the face gradually begins to lose its shape, becomes more angular, and sometimes even disproportionate. When there is some asymmetrical element in the forehead area, it distracts attention and makes facial features softer, and defects less noticeable. Bangs of this type will also be relevant among those young girls whose face is round or square. It will smooth out sharp corners and make the appearance softer and more pretty.
Slanting bangs
If you have been seriously and for a long time thinking about the question of whether it is worth cutting bangs, then we recommend starting not with the extreme options that were described above, but with a softer one. Many people know what a slanting bang looks like and what functions it performs. In short, just the strands on the forehead are cut to the level of the nose, carefully milled and combed to the side. The result is not a graphic bang, but a kind of strands that partially cover the face and make the image more gentle and romantic. The beauty of this hairstyle is obvious. Even the owners of the perfect oval face, they will help to update the image. If the shape of the cheekbonessquare, then you can easily smooth out this defect. But most importantly, slanting bangs will help you get used to the hair that falls on your face, teach you how to follow and style it, and you can understand whether you should drag yourself into this "bondage".
From a fashion point of view
Most of the stylists of our world are sure that bangs are considered one of the relics of the past. To cut or not is a question for them, which has a definite negative answer. Naturalness is in fashion, it should be visible in everything. Nude makeup, blond hair, and at the same time they should look like you, like a medieval princess, wore them all your life under the crown and grew them. Of course, graphic and asymmetrical bangs will be completely superfluous here. However, stylists say that women have faces that simply need additional hair design. Therefore, most often the choice is made in favor of oblique and soft strands - they smooth out sharp outlines and make the image feminine and light. But it also happens the other way around - if the face is too elongated, a straight bang, which slightly covers the eyebrows, can save the situation. It's a classic and no fashion can beat it.
If you are confident in your abilities
Many girls prefer to take care of themselves, as they say, at home - that is, they do everything themselves, including cutting their hair. We will talk about how correct this is from a mental point of view a little later, but for now a few tips for those who decidechange your image with your own hands. The most common logical questions are:
- Where does bangs begin?
- How to cut in front of a mirror?
- Do I need thinning?
Let's break things down:
- First, dampen the part of the hair you are going to transform.
- Determine the shape of the bangs. If it is straight, then separate the isosceles triangle from the top of the head and comb it over the face. If the bangs are oblique, then separate the triangle with a slight shift in the direction where you part.
- Start cutting straight bangs, marking a line at the level of the middle of the pupils. Be aware that the hair will lift up a little after drying and styling.
- For oblique bangs, the longest strand should be at the level of the earlobe, and the shortest can be done at the level of the middle of the nose.
- Both bangs need careful thinning.
- Asymmetric option is recommended to be done only by a specialist.
Remember the old signs
For our ancestors, hair was not just a collection of keratinized cells, from which you can build any hairstyle. It was a connection with the cosmos, a magical element of the image, which is why women did not cut their hair. Now everything has changed, but two signs have migrated to our time and haunt modern young ladies:
- Is it possible to cut bangs while pregnant? It is believed that if you cut your hair while carrying a child, you can take away his life force. Many adhere to this belief and on 9months disappear from the radar of beauty salons. Well, we recommend that you do not stop looking after yourself even during demolitions, trim the ends of the curls and the edge of the bangs, if you wear it. But you still shouldn’t radically change your image during pregnancy.
- Why can't you cut your own bangs? It is believed that by cutting your own hair, you lose good luck and vitality. If you categorically do not believe in this sign, then just start changing your image in a good mood.
We hope that our advice will help you make a difficult choice and become even more beautiful.
