It is believed that cutting bangs is a fairly quick and easy task, which takes less than 5 minutes in time. This time is quite enough to get a short strand from a long curl.

Women with weakened and thinning hair need to undergo a course of keratin therapy and vitamin-based masks. In some situations, in the absence of another way out, individual curls are built up. For a "Frenchwoman" it is necessary that the hair is straight and smooth, otherwise it will have to be straightened. If the hair is naturally curly, then asymmetrical and thin bangs are suitable for them.Usually adolescent girls and very young women prefer such a bang.

It is worth considering in more detail several types of "Frenchwoman".

• Up to the middle of the forehead. Straight, smooth female bangs of short length are well suited for those who are characterized by a high and straight forehead, as well as an oval-shaped face. The round face shape also goes well with such an element of the hairstyle, especially if you have even and beautiful eyebrows. If there are flaws in this part of the face, then it is better not to choose this type of bangs. When the shape of the face is triangular, then such a hairstyle should also be abandoned. With a rectangular shape, a combination of bangs with elongated side curls near the face looks good and a side parting is required. This hairstyle variation can be combined with bob and bob haircuts. In addition, this option will suit slender girls who will not mind a slight mess in their hair when styling.

• The second option has long been known and loved by many - this is the most straight and even bangs, which looks very beautiful and well-groomed. Thinning is not needed here, since the lower hairline is already even, slightly covering the eyebrow line. This variety should not be combined with a long hair length; a square or a short cascade is more suitable here.

• Oblique. This option looks good in combination with a round face shape. Usually it is combined with haircuts in the absence of parting. This option is not combined with a triangular face shape.

• Torn. This solution looks great on thick, heavy hair. The bottom line of the bangs can be straight, oblique and semicircular. Here filing is necessary, which is done by closing the scissors on the lower third of the bangs, then it is necessary to slowly lead them down. Repeat the same a few millimeters lower, and the cut itself needs to be processed.

Many haircuts of various hair sizes are well combined with bangs of this type, it looks good in combination with a cascade, square, ladder. If the newfangled look is very tired, you can remove the strands around the face. It is worth taking a closer look at hairstyles for which short bangs are suitable.

• Bean. The whole hairstyle depends on how the front strands are cut. This haircut goes well with short, oblique and torn bangs. Variants with a scythe and a torn are more common, since the third option does not suit everyone, although it looks perfect.

• Caret. This type of haircut looks good with smooth bangs of any length. Some rebellious image is created using oblique or torn strands with thinning scissors along the entire length. The most daring wear such a haircut with a shaved head or a very short length.

• Pixie. This hairstyle can be significantly transformed with the help of a "Frenchwoman". Here, even variations are unacceptable. The choice of the length of the hairstyle element depends on taste preferences. The main thing is to create layering, asymmetry and torn lines. The strands that cover the eyes balance the facial features. At the same time, a very short "Frenchwoman" will make the face more open, which will draw attention to it.

• Cascade. This hairstyle is suitable for any occasion and can be combined with bangs of any length.Here it is better to abandon asymmetric lines and pointed corners, but otherwise the flight of imagination is unlimited.

• Sesson. People call this hairstyle a "hat", which is characterized by a straight cut line, but the same principles apply to the bangs.
