Bangs in a semicircle: varieties, techniques of execution and tips from stylists

Probably, there is not a single woman in the world who would not ponder the question of whether she needs a bang. It is worth noting that this question is quite serious, because the general concept of not only hairstyles, but also the entire look as a whole directly depends on the presence or absence of this important element. Beautifully styled strands of hair near your face can either transform your look for the better, or negate all efforts to create an attractive image. In this regard, when deciding what shape your bangs will have, and whether it will be at all, you need to very carefully think over your entire image. For clarity, you can use special graphic editors, for example, the Photoshop program to try on various images and choose the best option that emphasizes your natural beauty and hides small flaws.

Today the conversation will focus on one of the options for cutting bangs - in a semicircle. Hairstyles with an emphasis on semicircular bangs have been relevant at all times, and even now they remain at the height of modern fashion.

Strands cut in a semicircle shape always attract attention. With such an interesting detail in the appearance, you no longer need to create additional accents in the form of catchy makeup or pretentious jewelry. That is why the bangs in a semicircle are so loved by the fair sex and are not going to give up their positions, despite the emergence of new forms of haircuts.

In order for the bangs to look impressive, there is an important condition - your hair should be thick and well-groomed. Hairdressing experts say with confidence that a semicircular cut of strands is well suited to almost any type of facial structure.

Let's take a closer look at in what cases and for what you can use a semicircular bang:

• smoothes the angular contours of the face with strongly protruding cheekbones, a massive angular chin;

• helps to balance the overall impression with a triangular face structure, when there are wide zygomatic arches and a pointed chin;

• gives the face a more elongated appearance if it has the shape of a circle;

• helps to correct a too high forehead;

• focuses on the shape of the eyebrow line and emphasizes the eyes;

• completely hides forehead wrinkles and distracts attention from wrinkles near the eyes.

As you can see, one bang can solve many problems. It is only important to choose the right optimal length and make a neat, even cut. This is a very important point, since any irregularities will immediately catch your eye and spoil the impression of the whole hairstyle. One of the nuances of such a bang is the fact that it grows back very quickly and in a month you will need a correction. But not everyone succeeds in visiting the master on time, and then many women themselves take up the scissors. The results of such an action without the presence of certain skills can be unpredictable.

The length of the semicircular bangs can vary: it can cover the eyebrows, rise one or two centimeters above the eyebrows, or it can be completely short, being approximately in the middle of the forehead. It all depends on the shape of the face, its advantages or disadvantages, as well as on the idea of ​​the wizard to create your image. This design of hair strands is often combined with a wide variety of hairstyles and even long hair. Equally well, a semicircular shape will look good with smooth hair or contrast with curly curls. In any case, the oval bangs will look interesting and attractive.

The use of semicircular bangs is widely used not only for women's hairstyles. Modern models of men's haircuts often and very successfully use this form, creating a mischievous and unusual image. Most often, such haircuts are chosen by young people who are not afraid to experiment with their appearance. In addition, quite often strands around the face are drawn in a semicircle in children's haircuts - this technique looks equally good for both boys and girls. Moreover, the semicircular bangs are suitable for short, medium and even long types of children's haircuts.

A semicircular bang can be done in different ways, so there are some variations of this manipulation.

• The shape made by the arch - it can be performed in an arc with a rather sharp radius in the center of the forehead, or the arch is made soft, almost parallel to the line of the eyebrows with a smooth curvature in the area of ​​the temples.

• Bangs with extended side strands - this is one of the most feminine forms and it creates a very romantic image. In shape, it is made in the form of an arch, while the side strands smoothly merge into the general hair mass and practically merge with it.

• Arcuate shape - the most traditional and versatile; when performing, it is important to determine the depth to which the cut will be made. As a rule, such an arc is made smooth, without sharp transitions of the central part relative to the lateral parts of the bangs.The arch can be curved, almost round, or concave and rounded at the edges at the temples.

• Oval shape - it can be oblique, asymmetrical, sparse, as well as thick and long. Oval bangs can be perfectly combined with haircuts made in the "cascade" technique, as well as with the classic "bob" or "bob".

The semicircular bangs look the most advantageous and voluminous for those whom nature has endowed with thick and fluffy hair. But even if you have not so rich hair, a semicircular cut will visually add volume and density to the bangs.

The overgrown semicircular bangs look somewhat untidy and urgently needs correction. You can trim the strands to yourself at home, on your own. But before you start a haircut, you need to prepare the necessary equipment.

• Well-sharpened straight scissors. Best of all, if these are special hairdressing scissors purchased from a specialized store. It will be quite difficult for you to cut an even cut with office scissors.
• Comb with a "ponytail" for separating strands and frequent teeth.
• Hairdresser hair clips.
• Hair thinning scissors.
• Spray bottle with water.

Before starting the haircut process, you need to wash and dry your hair. It will be very difficult for a layman to cut perfectly dry strands, so they need to be slightly moisturized. However, one very important point should be remembered, on which the success of the entire manipulation depends - after the trimmed hair is dry, it will become a little shorter, therefore, when choosing the optimal length of the strands, you must not forget this circumstance and add about one centimeter to the desired length of the finished bangs. Exactly the same increase in the length of the strands must be done for curly or wavy hair.

Now you can move on to the technique of performance.

• Determine the density of the bangs and find a place for parting. The density will directly depend on how much your bangs will go into the depths, and the higher it rises to the point of the crown, the visually it will seem thicker. Separate the strand that we will cut and make two more side parting on the right and left - this is how we outlined the contours of the future bangs. The rest of the hair should be secured with clips so that they do not get in the way.
• Now we need to finally decide on the width. It is not necessary to cut the bangs according to the principle "from one ear to the other." It looks sloppy and too simple. In the fashion world, it is now important to make a semicircular cut that covers the forehead at a distance of 0.5 centimeters below the eyebrow line. Then there is a slight lengthening of the strands, which starts from the end of the eyebrow to the temple - this section is cut at an angle, bringing out a soft and smooth line so that in general you get an arched arch.
• During the cutting process, the strands should be taut, fastened between the fingers. Sometimes, if there are no good skills and the eye is undeveloped, you can use a pre-prepared cardboard template - this will greatly simplify the haircut procedure.
• Now you need to properly comb all the strands and cut off the strayed single hairs flush with the rest of the bangs hair. If you want to add volume, profile the ends of the strands with thinning scissors.

Caring for a semicircular bang, especially if it is done on straight hair, is quite simple and does not require any special devices and skills. Apply any styling agent to wet hair, distribute it along the entire length of the strands and prepare them for drying with a hairdryer using hot air.You will need a round styling brush to create beautiful volume and tuck the ends of the bangs inward. It is necessary to choose the diameter of such a brush, guided by the density of the hair. The thicker your bangs, the larger the diameter of the brush you need to choose, then after drying the strands will look truly natural and beautiful.

You can dry a semicircular bang without creating additional volume for it. In this case, the round brush is not used, and the strands are dried using a special so-called skeletal hair comb. With its help, the strands are slightly lifted and, after drying, return to their original position.

After you dry your bangs, switch the hair dryer to cold air and cool your hair properly. This must be done in order for the strands to retain their specified shape as long as possible. Now you can fix the result with varnish, and the hairstyle is ready. Look at yourself in the mirror - you are adorable!

Hairdressing professionals advise that when fixing the shape of the bangs, do not use strong or super strong fixation varnishes. Such a frozen monumental structure looks very unnatural and ugly. It is best to fix the strands with styling mousses or foams. Then your bangs will remain mobile, lively and look organic against the background of the rest of the mass of hair in your hairstyle.

If you have naturally wavy or curly hair, but you really want to become the owner of a well-made semicircular bangs, you need to take care of straightening your hair before cutting it. This can be done with the help of a special electric smoothing iron or resort to more radical methods - keratin straightening. On even and smooth hair, semicircular bangs with clear cut lines look very impressive and impressive.

You can revive the hairstyle using various hairpins, headbands, ribbons, which decorate the bangs. Stylists advise using accessory colors that contrast with your hair color or match their shades in tune with the main outfit you are wearing in order to create a single, visually harmonious look. Additionally, you can decorate your hair with dyeing, highlighting or various types of toning. This will help add accents to your look and make it more expressive and memorable.

Quite interestingly, straight semicircular bangs are combined with curly hair of the main haircut. Such a contrast distinguishes the bangs from the general mass of hair and makes all the emphasis on its verified and clear shape.
