All about false bangs
How a frustrated girl starts a new life - with a change in her hairstyle. The easiest way to change your bow is to change your hairstyle. How to attract the attention of a guy you like - make changes to your hairstyle.
Hair can be dyed, trimmed, or extended. But one of the easiest ways is to get bangs.
Reasons for choosing
It is not enough to have the desire to grow bangs. Some people have very thin and thin hair or too frizzy. Or maybe curly, but I want a straight bang. Someone is afraid to cut their hair unsuccessfully - suddenly the hairstyle does not fit. And someone only needs a temporary transformation from a strict office lady into a frivolous girl. This is where false bangs come to the rescue. With its help, you can not only change the image, but also hide facial defects, change the shape of the face. Long thick bangs will help a modest girl hide from gazes.
What are they?
There are several criteria for choosing a piece of jewelry when buying.
Material
It can be kanekalon, artificial hair made from seaweed, artificial fibers, or a mixture of both. If you use synthetic material, it will be too noticeable. After all, the bangs do not hide under their hair, they are in plain sight. Modacrylic synthetic fibers cannot be dyed, curled, and they are unlikely to be laid. But this can be done with a seaweed pad.
It is better to use natural hair. They can be repainted, curled and straightened, trimmed, styled with varnish, mousse, and so on. The European mini-wig differs in hair structure from the Asian one. But it does not shine like artificial, but in terms of its characteristics it looks more like its own hair.The only drawback is the high cost.
The form
There are such basic forms and their variants as:
- straight lines (as an option - a multilevel "fence");
- beveled (option - "steps");
- straight or rounded oval faces, plus long side strands.
Colour
It looks ridiculous if the bangs are too different from the hair color all over the head. Therefore, if you want to have a tress with a matching color, you need to try it on in daylight.
If you need an overlay for a party, cosplay, then here you can only advise one thing: look for your image and choose a wig of any color and from any material.
Mounting method
There are several options.
- A headband with a hair strap already attached to it. Attachment principle: take and attach to the head. This method is already considered outdated, since the bezel does not always fit. We also have to decorate it additionally.
- Fixation with 2-3 hair clips. The number of hairpins depends on the type of mini-wig and the manufacturer. To get used to this method of fastening, you need 3-4 attempts, after which the process comes to automatism.
In 1 minute, you can completely calmly fix the bangs and forget them before removing them from your head.
How to attach to a hair clip?
This procedure is quite easy, you just need to practice a little. It is worth adhering to the following algorithm:
- in advance, so as not to waste time at the last moment, prepare a hairstyle on the bangs itself (curl, style);
- comb our own hair very neatly, smoothly back;
- apply an overlay with open hairpins to the place on the forehead where hair begins to grow, and move it to the back of the head to the desired fixation line of the mini-wig;
- snap on the clips;
- we style our hair so as to hide the attachment line.
Important! To fix the tress on the rim, you need to comb your own hair back smoothly, and then put on the accessory. For secure attachment in both the first and second methods, we fix the hair with a strong fixation varnish.
How to take care of it properly?
The bangs are constantly in contact with the skin of the forehead, from this it absorbs moisture and fat. This means that she needs care no less than the entire scalp. You can wash off natural signs of dirt, as well as from styling products with regular shampoo.
Since natural hair false bangs do not receive organic nutrition, it is advisable to use a moisturizing normal hair shampoo and conditioner.
You need to wash it in a basin (not under running water!) In warm water. Apply the shampoo to the hair and lather, then leave it in the basin for a few minutes. You also need to rinse the pad in a basin in lukewarm water. For a natural shine, apply a balm or mask. After washing, do not shake off, wring out, try to dry, wiping with effort with a towel. Natural hair should not be brushed while wet. It is best to just lay the wig on a towel. Can be dried with a hairdryer.
Artificial strands do not need special shampoo and conditioner. In no case should they be dried with a hairdryer or other electrical appliances.
Choosing the right tress shape
The shape of the bangs is directly related to the oval of the face and personal characteristics: scars, the fit of the eyes, the size and shape of the ears, the general condition of the skin, the height of the forehead. Depending on the characteristics of the face, you can choose several options for bangs.
- Round moon-faced face needs to be visually extended. Long temporal locks will help in this. The bangs need to be made beveled, torn, hiding the cheeks as much as possible.
- The oval face is the ideal of proportions. A fluffy straight overlay is suitable here, which completely covers the eyebrows. It is better to use rounded corners. You can try beveled long wefts without thinning or a cropped torn baby bangs against a background of slightly twisted long strands.
- A long face welcomes all kinds of bangs. Straight, even or slightly torn hair is suitable, which completely covers the forehead.The side bangs will also even out the proportions of the face, creating a rounded effect. There will be a thick overlay on your face - a "curtain" in the style of Brigitte Bardot.
- Triangle (pear). Here, with a mini-wig, you need to either make the top wider, or narrow the chin. Thick or sparse, but certainly a long pad will cope with the first problem. Oblique bangs along the line of the eyes or to the chin will help solve the second problem.
- Inverted triangle. Beveled cheekbone trim will hide a wide forehead. Thinning straight hair down to the bridge of the nose will balance the top and bottom of the face. You can experiment with parting and "curtain".
- The square and rectangle can be hidden behind a thick "curtain". Better to use a torn edge. If the hair on the head is formed into a collected hairstyle, then you need to leave a few strands along the face.
- Diamond (rhombus). The third form of overlays is suitable: straight or rounded with elongated strands on the sides. The goal is to hide the wide temporal part of the face. If this problem does not bother you, then you can use an oblique bang to the middle of the cheekbone.
How to use in hairstyles?
Some people buy a mini wig for one evening, others for multiple uses. In any case, you need to know that the overlay can be used not only in the purchased form, but also by slightly changing it, namely:
- matte wax will give a unique careful styling of each hair; to obtain this effect, the bangs are divided into small strands and wax is applied to the ends;
- when combing to one side, the curls are fixed with styling, straightened, giving the desired shape, again fixed with varnish;
- natural hair can be curled with a hairdryer, curling iron or with curlers;
- you can make a bouffant on both natural and artificial hair - the bangs are divided into several layers; each layer is neatly combed, starting from the bottom, and the top is left smooth, styling is done and fixed with varnish.
Reviews
You need to understand that there are three ways to buy such a product.
- You go to the salon, where the master picks up the bangs, dyes it in front of you, cuts it, and so on. Of course, it should be 100% matching with your hair. And the master will help you choose the shape of the lining. You will leave with a custom-made product.
- You buy an item in a shop of ready-made goods. At the same time, it is possible to touch the quality, evaluate the density and shape.
- The third option is online shopping. It's good if the purchase was successful: the color matched, good quality goods came for ridiculous money.
Most of the customers say they bought false bangs in order to evaluate whether to cut their own hair for the bangs, as well as to find a shape. But there are ladies who say that they will wear purchased bangs every day, but do not dare to do such a haircut on their head. The reason is that if the bangs get bored, then you will have to grow it for 2 years.
