How to choose a bang? Video Tips
A hairstyle with bangs rejuvenates and shapes the face. Light torn bangs reduce the forehead, while thick and long bangs effectively emphasize the eyes. However, this hairstyle does not suit everyone. Before trimming your forehead, make sure the bangs really embellish you.
Assess the capabilities of your face and hair
To find out which hairstyle is right for you, take a close look at yourself in the mirror. The face can be oval, smoothly tapering towards the chin, or square, with a wide forehead and a heavy jaw. Perhaps your face is too round or looks like a triangle. Rate your facial features as well. The larger they are, the more voluminous styling you can afford. Graceful, not too catchy lines will suit the owners of thin facial features. It depends on the contours of the chin, cheekbones and forehead whether the bangs are suitable for you, and what shape it is better to give it.
Another important point is the characteristics of your hair. From thin and sparse strands, you cannot create thick bangs, and curly ones will not fall in a smooth wave.
Do not try to contradict the nature of your curls, try to give them natural lines.
Ask your stylist if it is possible to give your hair the desired shape and how laborious the daily bangs will be. A good craftsman will be able to determine this before starting a haircut.
Much also depends on the color of the hair. Brunettes have clear lines to face – for example, straight thick bangs or sophisticated asymmetrical with elongated ends. Delicate blondes will go for softer forms – voluminous bangs combed in a side parting, or thin “feathers”.
Try trying on your hair on your computer. You can change not only the length and shape of the haircut, but also the color of the hair
Matching bangs to facial features
Girls with an oval face should emphasize its ideal shape. Do not cover it with hair. You will go for strands combed back, or a short, laid on top of the bangs. Avoid heavy, thick bangs that cover your forehead and eyebrows: this hairstyle will completely distort the proportions.
Experiment by trying on wigs or pinning your forehead hair. You will understand what length and shape of the bangs is right for you, and besides, you will be able to estimate how comfortable a new hairstyle will be to wear.
A square face needs softening of the lines. Bulky and dense bangs will not suit you, they will only emphasize a heavy jaw. Your choice is a light oblique bang, combed to the side. Remember that the bulk of your hair should be at the back of your head.
If your face resembles an elongated triangle, try on a graduated bob with bangs – this hairstyle refreshes and gives lightness to the image. Those with a wide and high forehead can try to reduce it with a short, torn bangs, it will distract attention from this small defect.
Choose hairstyles that you can customize with your own hands. On the basis of a regular graduated square with straight bangs, you can make a dozen styling. After trimming, try combing the bangs or smoothing them with gel, pinning them or styling them in a high wave. Perhaps, among the variety of options, you will find the ideal one – the one that will suit you especially.
