Light bangs: features and options
Girls tend to change their image. But sometimes you don't want to take absolutely drastic steps at all, but only bring something new to your hairdo. In this case, bangs are very helpful.
The strands of hair above the forehead can be styled differently, thereby creating the desired image. The article will focus on what features and options a light bang has.
Difference in style
In hairdressers and beauty salons, masters can offer a lot of types of cutting and styling this hair detail. The main thing is that the chosen option is in harmony with the image and first of all you like it yourself. The following types of bangs are currently the most popular.
- Lush and voluminous section of hair above the eyebrows harmonizes well with both long and short haircuts. This type of bangs looks especially good on owners of thick hair. However, a competent master will be able to create lush bangs on not too thick hair, taking a strand closer to the crown. Also, volume can be given using various methods of hair coloring: coloring or highlighting.
- Classic straight model never goes out of style. Most often, it is cut along the very eyebrows, and sometimes it covers them slightly. To maintain a clear, straight contour, no thinning of the ends is applied.
- Oblique curls, covering part of the forehead, give the image a mystery. This option works best on straight or slightly wavy hair. This type is not recommended for owners of curls. Light curls are more difficult to style, they quickly shaggy and give the impression of an untidy hairstyle. In addition, curls very often climb into the eyes.
An oblique cut of a strand can be done with or without thinning.
- Ragged thin bangs will bring notes of sexuality and extravagant charm to the image. This option is usually made somewhat elongated, literally falling over the eyes. Ripped, thinned bangs look great with hairstyles of varying lengths and styles.
- Brave girls often ask the master to make them curly bangs. In this case, the contours of the strand above the forehead are cut in a non-standard way: in the form of an arch, heart, corner or other simple shapes. It is best to do this hairstyle on dark hair, then the outline will be clearly visible against the background of the upper part of the face.
This option requires careful maintenance and frequent adjustments, since hair growth loses its clear outline rather quickly.
- A strand of hair, cut in the form of an arc, concave or convex, will perfectly complement the classic style. With long hair, this type of bangs looks very soft and romantic.
- The strands above the forehead can be trimmed asymmetrically. Shorter contours from one edge of the face are lengthened evenly along the oblique line. The edges of such a strand can be cut straight or profiled. The last option looks more voluminous.
- The front curls can be cut into two or more layers of different lengths. For example, one of the options: a classic straight strand from above is covered with long thinned milled strands. It is best to do these options on straight, strong hair that holds the styling well.
- A pretty bold option is a very long bang. The tips can go up to the level of the ears, nose and even the chin. Most often, the strand is divided into two parts, which are combed slightly to the side. The comb on one side of the face also looks peculiar. Typically, craftsmen apply thinning to elongated strands falling over the face.
- Short "French" bangs are suitable for the image of a hooligan girl. The bangs can be straight or ragged, thick or thinned.
Tips for different hair types
Take advantage of the advice of a professional hairdresser.
- For owners of thick hair, it is best to dwell on the types of bangs that do not require fixation and styling. Neat straight options, arches, or double-layered bangs are great for this type.
- If the hair, on the other hand, is not very thick, then a milled model, combed to one side, is well suited. You can also choose shorter options.
- All types of bangs are suitable for straight hair. Happy owners of such can, when choosing, be guided only by their own tastes, wishes and the style of the existing hairstyle.
- Wavy curls are best combed to the side. If you want a straight classic bang, you will have to use a hair iron and styling products.
- Curls don't look good in bangs. They strive to quickly get disheveled, creep into the eyes, practically do not keep their shape. Most often, owners of very curly hair choose their hairstyles without bangs. If you really want to experiment, then it is better to choose options with side combing. At the same time, it is advisable to "pacify" your mischievous curls with fixing and styling products.
- Oily hair quickly becomes heavy and saggy. Best of all, this flaw can hide the choice of a voluminous lush model.
- Fine hair looks great in light long bangs. The edges can be either smooth or thinned with a "ladder". Also, options with separation and styling of the strands on the sides are suitable.
- Dry hair is often naughty, so bangs from such hair will require additional styling. Straight options with exactly cut edges look beautiful on such hair. Long bangs with very thin ends are not recommended.
- Coarse hair looks voluminous, but difficult to hold. Therefore, girls with this type of hair should pay attention to elongated straight options with side combing.
For different face shapes
The bangs are a very noticeable detail of the haircut.In addition, it is located right on the face, so its shape cannot be ignored. Even if the hairstyle is very well chosen, the wrong bangs can ruin the whole effect, highlighting the disadvantages of a particular type of face.
- For the correct oval shape, any bang option will do.
- A triangular face will decorate a straight or beveled version.
It is best to make the strand elongated, reaching at least to the eyebrows or even lower.
- A noticeable drawback of the rectangular face is the high forehead. It can be easily hidden visually under thick bangs, cut asymmetrically. A thick, straight-cut strand to the eyebrows is also suitable. The option with an oblique comb on one side will soften the facial features well.
- Multi-layered options are very suitable for owners of a square type of face. That being said, it's best to avoid short options.
- A round face is corrected with bangs with asymmetry, as well as options with a comb to the side.
