• The exclusive feature of Korean bangs is heart shape. This is a playful youthful look of bangs that looks interesting on a youthful face. Probably, young Korean women borrowed it from the characters in the manga, because in everyday life such a hairstyle can look a little ridiculous, but cute. Usually, such a bang keeps its shape due to a small amount of gel and treatment of wet hair with a hairdryer.

• Curly bangs It is also often found among fashionistas in Asia, but it should be borne in mind that curls are usually not obtained in a natural way, but are created through perm, which may not always have a good effect on the health of the hair. Natural waves are extremely difficult to lay, they will bulge and climb up. Not very convenient.

Of course, wanting to add variety to your image, do not forget that bangs, like any element of a hairstyle, have their own advantages and disadvantages. The decision to change the image should always be approached wisely, adequately assessing all your external data. Below will be presented the main pros and cons of cutting the front curl of the head. The advantages of Korean bangs include:

• a stylish look that will not go unnoticed among your loved ones and friends and will tell people a lot about you;
• an attention-grabbing image, because the Korean bangs itself draws the attention of others;
• emphasizing the look is also the prerogative of the bangs, especially if you additionally add brightness to the image with makeup;
• hiding skin imperfections, but do not forget that this is only a cosmetic measure and it is better to deal with the elimination of imperfections and take measures for skin care;
• visual change in the size of the forehead, when it comes to a high forehead, greatly lengthening your face;
• facial rejuvenation, as mentioned earlier, often the choice of this hairstyle element is able to hide age-related changes.

Among the disadvantages are usually distinguished:

• special care requirements, your home cosmetic bag must have tongs and irons;
• additional time spent on styling, which ends not only with home care, but also requires frequent visits to the hairdresser or stylist;
• obligatory forehead care, because under the bangs, the skin often sweats and becomes greasy, which provokes the appearance of unwanted acne and blackheads.

If you decide that the disadvantages are not so great and you can try to add variety to your image, let's move on to the next question. Like any hairstyle, Korean bangs are not for everyone. Often, how it will look depends on the shape and characteristics of the face, as well as the structure of the hair.

First of all, you need to remember that Korean bangs, as one of the types of long bangs, visually shorten the face, and also emphasize the narrow chin. In this regard, it becomes clear that it is undesirable to choose a hairstyle for girls with a triangular face type, as well as with a round face. On the contrary, Korean bangs are suitable for girls with a high forehead and an elongated long face shape. Also, long voluminous bangs visually reduce the nose, and if it gives you some inconvenience with its size, Korean bangs are your choice.

For those with a square face, Korean bangs are suitable, thinned in the middle and thick on the sides. For blondes with a triangular face, bangs will give additional originality, which will touch the eyebrows on the sides, and slightly elongated in the middle.Those who are fortunate enough to have a perfectly oval face should opt for a thin straight, classic Korean bangs that reach just below the eyebrows.

With regard to the structure of the hair, bangs would be a more suitable option for the owner of thick long straight hair with a strong healthy structure. It is best if the hair color is also in darker tones, which corresponds to the canons of the creators of this fashion.

At the same time, it would be better to always have an umbrella with you, otherwise, if water gets on your head, all your efforts will go down the drain. Sometimes deliberate slovenliness can emphasize the image, because first of all, Korean bangs are an original element of your style.

On the Internet, there are many video tutorials in which it is quite intelligibly and clearly explained how to properly cut a bang on your own, it tells about the techniques for performing a haircut. We will not provide links to examples, you can easily find them yourself. We will try to convey the basic information from them. An obligatory element of a haircut, if you decide to cope with the creation of a new image yourself, is the availability of all the necessary tools at hand, it is best to purchase them in specialized stores. To get started, you need the following kit:

• straight scissors;
• thinning scissors;
• combined comb;
• hair clips.

Before cutting, rinse your hair thoroughly and leave it damp, this will help to separate the strands into zones more clearly. The first technique is pretty simple. Take a triangular strand of hair of the required width, taking into account that the haircut will take place in three stages with an increase of 1 cm in each stage. Leave one lower third free, pin the rest of the hair, throwing it back. Keep in mind that when the bangs are dry, they will shorten by a couple of centimeters, so cut so that the bangs are at the level below the eyebrows in the eye area. Each new strand must be carefully combed.

After drying, an additional touch will be a neat alignment along the length of the comb, edging, but do not take too much, so as not to spoil the look of the hairstyle. If you want to give the bangs more splendor, thinning scissors will help with this.

The second technique can be called a technique for advanced users with long hair. It is best to watch the video on it in advance, since the first time, based only on the description, it will be difficult to repeat this. A small strand of hair is combed and, without dividing it into parts, is grasped with one hand.

With the second hand, we gradually begin to cut off the excess from it, give the bangs the necessary shape. The final stage is still thinning. The bangs should turn out to be thin, by itself divided into two parts. That's all, the Korean bangs are ready.

A common feature for all types of Korean bangs is giving it puffiness and volume. Symmetry and neatness are often not about her, and every fashionista tries to add something individual and unusual to her image. Wake up your inner child and experiment! First of all, take care of the cleanliness of your hair. They often have to be washed every day, but the beauty is worth it. This is especially true for girls whose hair is shoulder-length and loose.

For owners of thin thin hair, stylists, as a rule, advise before styling the bangs to apply a special serum on it without the use of silicone in the composition. This measure is due to the fact that this type of hair usually loses its shape faster, becomes greasy and becomes completely unpresentable. It will be useful wash bangs more often than the rest of the hair on your head, as it gets dirty earlier, but there is not always time and opportunity to wash your hair several times a day.

Try not to use oily face care products, as bangs always touch your forehead and this can get dirty even faster. Remember that choosing thick bangs, you should not forget about special skin care products, for example, tonics for degreasing it. There are special dry shampoos that are very convenient at the modern pace of life. They are sprayed on the desired area of ​​the head and act like a powder that hides the oily sheen of the skin. The spray is applied to the hair roots and spread evenly with the comb. It usually has instructions on how to use it.

If you do not want or cannot contact a professional stylist, you can search for stylist courses for beginners on the Internet; there are many special video tutorials and blogs on how to choose the right haircut for you. When styling your bangs, you shouldn't be zealous with different types of stylers. Foams, mousses and gels are good in moderation. Otherwise, even perfectly clean strands will not look very good. Also, do not forget to distribute them to damp hair. When choosing a styler, it is better to give your preference to varnishes of medium and low hold.
