There is an opinion that shortened bangs are harmoniously combined with long curls, since here the emphasis is on the play of contrasts, however, not every representative of the weaker sex can afford such a combination.
Young girls with a chubby face can safely decide on such a beauty experiment, but such styles will not suit women of mature age. They will only accentuate the wrinkles on the forehead and a slightly "floating" oval.
It is also worth noting that blondes with cropped bangs look more advantageous than those with dark hair.

Advice
With all the advantages of a short bang, before you decide on such a haircut, if your hair is of medium length and below, you need to think carefully. It's no secret that many are driven to such radical changes by photography of stars and socialites. Keep in mind that in gloss, short bangs always look more impressive and stylish, especially if these are staged shots.
As practice shows, such a hairstyle pleases for a short time - it quickly gets boring, and it takes a very long time to wait for the hair to grow back.
Many women mistakenly believe that bangs grow faster than all other hair types, but this is an optical illusion. The growth of hair on all parts of the head is standard and amounts to 1-1.5 cm per month, just when the hair begins to grow into the eyes, the rate of their growth seems to be quite significant.

In order to grow short bangs faster, you must adhere to some recommendations.
- Try to eliminate the use of styling products, as well as a hair dryer and curling iron - they dry hair and it becomes split and brittle. In such conditions, you will not be able to quickly grow them.
- The bangs get dirty pretty quickly, but, nevertheless, you do not need to wash it several times a day - this is how the natural protection of the hair is destroyed, the functioning of the sebaceous glands, on the contrary, is activated. Contrary to expectations, the hair gets dirty faster and the growing short strands more likely resemble untidy icicles than a voluminous haircut.
- Be sure to drink a course of vitamins that accelerate hair growth. Such compositions are used to strengthen the hair shaft, they are compiled taking into account all the biorhythms of the hair follicles, promote the activation of metabolism and thereby cause increased work of the follicles.
- Massage your forehead daily. Do it in a circular motion so as not to damage the hair roots. It is useful to use oils with a calming effect, which will not only nourish the scalp, but at the same time relieve you of insomnia.

Folk remedies are very effective - masks and hair rubs. For example, a cognac mask made up of equal parts cognac, honey, castor oil and egg yolks. The mixture is stirred and gently rubbed into the hair roots, left for an hour, and then washed off with warm water.
A mustard mask also accelerates hair growth, and it is very simple to make it - you just need to dilute dry mustard with warm water to a creamy consistency and apply it on the head. If you wish, you can add a couple of drops of oil solutions of vitamins A and E, and to increase the pungency, you should add a pinch of sugar. Such a mask is kept for no more than half an hour.
Keep in mind that the mask should be rubbed all over the head, not just the frontal area. The fact is that the circulatory system in the scalp is a rather complex collapsed network of vessels that connect to each other, therefore it is extremely important to ensure access of nutrients to the roots over the entire surface of the head.
