Secrets of decorating bangs with a ladder
Every woman who cares for her hair chooses the right style for herself. There are a huge number of haircuts, many of which are complemented by the presence of bangs. There are also many varieties of bangs. One of the most popular options is a ladder bang. This type of hairstyle will suit almost any type of face.
Features of creation
A ladder bang is created by superimposing one strand on top of another. The result is a stepped look that looks very stylish and unusual. However, in order to maintain the attractiveness of the image, it is necessary to regularly update the edges of such bangs.
When creating an original haircut, you need to make sure that the edges of the bangs do not delaminate, do not split, etc. It is important to follow the recommendations for hair care, otherwise you will get an unkempt look. To avoid this kind of problem, you can trim the strands with hot scissors. The heated metal "seals" the ends, thereby preventing cross-cutting.
A haircut created in this way allows the bangs to remain in great shape for a long time.
Registration
Strands trimmed with a ladder go to almost all women. But since there are different models of bangs, they can be styled in different ways. Let's consider several ways.
- Cascading with two long strands. The creation of such a variety is mainly used in order to hide the excessive elongation of the face. When making a haircut, you should take into account simple rules: the curls should cover the forehead, the length of the strands on the sides should not be below the chin. It is also worth considering that these hairstyles look best on blond hair. In this case, the volume of the hair does not matter.
- On the side. The strands are stacked on one side. This option is suitable for almost any face shape. The hairstyle is easy to style. Curls laid on one side can be pulled out with an "iron", fixing with hairspray or gel. You can also lay them in a soft wave using a curling iron. Another option is to dry wet hair with a hairdryer, immediately pulling the curls to the side.
- Elongated oblique, passing into the total length of the hair. This type of hairstyle is suitable for ladies who do not want to radically change their style. The option goes well with long hair. Styling your hair is pretty easy - just use the round comb to shape your hair to the desired shape. You can put it either on one side or on both, dividing the strands in half.
How to choose?
By face type
Each person is different. All women have a different face shape, have a different hair structure. Age, clothing style and so on vary. Of course, you can choose absolutely any type of bangs, but it is better to consult with a hairdresser so that the haircut looks harmonious and only emphasizes your merits.
If there is no time to visit the hairdresser, you can choose a model yourself. But before you cut your curls, you should study a few professional tips for choosing the right bangs, depending on your appearance.
- A long model will look good on those with a rectangular chin. The optimal length is below the eyebrows, almost to the eyelashes. Usually, the strands are collected on one side. This adds sexuality to the image.
- For women, a shorter option is suitable for round, plump faces.
- The elongated face shape will be well complemented by a volumetric stepped model laid on one side.

Styling and care
Healthy, clean hair is the key to the perfect appearance of any type of hairstyle. Revive split, brittle curls with special masks, healing balms, and strengthening agents.It is better to use professional means recommended by the masters, but sometimes “grandmother's” methods (decoctions of herbs, oils) can help.
Regardless of which hairstyle in combination with a ladder you choose (wet effect, curls, straight hair, bouffant), you will have to style it beautifully. If you need to add volume, apply mousse suitable for your hair type on damp hair. After that, twisting with a round comb with twisted strands inward, dry the bangs with a hairdryer.
