Cut once: Hairdressers on how to wear iconic bangs
Bangs can dramatically change the image with a minimum of effort - in contrast to complex staining, curling or straightening. But, to be honest, many are afraid to cut off their hair: someone still remembers bangs as an attribute of school style, someone remembers the torment with styling. We asked the stylists and hairdressers of Moscow studios to tell us how to wear iconic bangs and receive only pleasure from them.
Betty Page
SHORT PEEL, which you love again in the 90s, is the famous business card
If the hair does not curl, it will be easy to lay such a bang - just straighten it in your favorite way; round brush will add her pomp. I believe that it fits any monochromatic hair color and looks organic with oval and triangular faces. A square and round face makes such a bang even rounder, moreover, it can visually weight the chin. Best Betty Page option will look on ungraded laconic haircuts when the hair is cut to one length.
However, if the hair is curled, and the bangs really want, good styling will solve all the problems. I recommend looking for a product from the brands Redken, Label.M, JBH. Styling will make hair smooth, elastic and docile. If you want a permanent effect, you can make special care in the salon, which will keep your hair smooth for up to six months. Moreover, the procedure can be performed only on the bangs, without affecting the rest of the length - so it will remain straight even during rain and inclement weather.
Peggy Moffitt
thick geometric bangs to which a special approach is needed - but it looks like a king
This bang is suitable primarily for owners of straight and dense hair: the thicker it is, the more spectacular it looks. If the texture is appropriate, then there will be no problems with laying - just straighten it. In my opinion, choosing a bang, it is necessary to focus on the texture. Now it is, as it seems to me, to combine such an option with a short haircut, like Peggy Moffitt. To adapt it a little under modernity, add texture to the ends using haircuts and styling. You can try not to pull the bang perfectly smooth, and let your hair lie naturally.
This form is suitable not only straight, but curly hair. Pull it every morning is not necessary: you can put bang as well as the rest of the hairstyle. Apply a product for curly hair, forming curls, very slightly dry the roots and let the length dry by yourself. In my opinion, this is the most relevant option today with straight bangs. A perfect example is the model Mika Arganaraz's haircut, hinting at the now popular 80s.
Brigitte bardot
long fringe laid on both sides of the face - the sign hairstyle of the French actress who has returned to fashion
One-on-one bang like Brigitte Bardot requires thick hair - a thin result will differ from what you want. It seems to me that such a bang goes well with the high forehead and large features of the face, and also emphasizes the eyes. Plus this option - it will be very easy to lay. Dry with a hairdryer, lightly pulling the strands from the face into a large brushing, and then fix with light lacquer to keep the volume during the day. By the way, on the long hair, this bang perfectly continues the "shearing layers".
Personally, I don’t really like such bangs - it seems to me that their times are long gone. I advise others: for example, I would add a bob and all its variations with an asymmetrical elongated bang. This option has become a modern classic and allows you to experiment with lines and with color nuances.
Audrey Hepburn
pixie haircut Often involves a neat bangs, and Audrey Hepburn, perhaps, the standard
This bang, as in the photo with Audrey, will turn out on slightly curly or straight hair - their thickness does not matter. If you want to change the shape of the face with a haircut, the bang can help - precisely because it is often recommended for people with round or oval faces and those who want to adjust the shape of the forehead. This bang goes exactly with a pixie haircut or with a slightly longer bob haircut, and there is no need to put it on purpose.
To wear such a bang was comfortable both short and elongated, it is important that the master worked it properly. It all depends on where the master studied and if she or he owns different techniques and types of sections. It is worth asking about everything in advance - as a rule, a professional can offer several options for one haircut.
Alexa chang
many still come to the hairdresser with photos of TV presenter, although the heroine herself has long changed her hair
A bang from the 70s, hippie style, recalls Jane Birkin. This bang - round, with a soft edge - gives an emphasis on facial features: on the eyebrows, on the eyes, on the nose. This is my favorite option for several reasons: it seems to me that it fits different face shapes, grows perfectly, does not require constant trimming, and is like to owners of wavy and even curly hair.
It can be laid in several ways: for example, on both sides of the face, slightly opening the forehead; if the hair is sufficiently dense, then the bangs can quite carelessly and naturally lie down without additional styling. If you are thinking about change, but do not want to spend too much time laying, this form will come in handy. It is better to discuss the details with a specialist: length, density and cut are of great importance, with the right approach this bang will lie perfectly. I think that it looks good on hair of different lengths, starting from the average.
Anna Karina
hairdo star the French wave was repeated by many - to this day it remains relevant and noticeable
Such a bang is not very popular now: at the peak of fashion, long hair without geometric shapes. I like the hippie interpretation, a good example is Amanda Wall, creative director of the R + Co brand. This bang has a semicircular shape, closer to the nose, it is shorter, and along the edges it becomes longer and "breaks". Someone will say that this is not fashionable, but it is not necessary to agree with this. The main thing you need to know about the bangs: it visually changes the shape of the face and this should be taken into account when choosing your own version. Natural bangs are good for those who have medium thick hair, and I would recommend a hollow bang to owners of very fine hair. Their fasteners are more humane than ever.
You can pick a bang to any hair - even curly. Elongated bangs, haircuts semicircular shape will require careful styling - their owners usually are looking for a middle ground between straight and slightly curly hair. Today it is customary to do so that the bangs do not have a basal volume and it fits snugly to the face. I really like geometric haircuts with bangs - I think this is a harmonious combination.
Jane birkin
iconic careless fringefamous model and actress, who was inherited by her daughters
Today the bang has become almost an accessory. Personally, I love to do them: they reveal the image differently, add mystery to it. In this sense, bangs are very diverse, they can look rebellious, romantic, bold or be part of a classic image. In general, I would approach the choice of bangs as the choice of other bright elements of style.
For a start, a stylist should look at the shape of the face, the bone structure, the whole image and listen to the client's story, why he needs a bang, what she or he wants to emphasize. We cut bangs, like the rest of the hair, in the T & G technique, in which there are no misfires. The bang turns out to be clear: it can lie straight or be asymmetrical, be oval-shaped, fit on two sides - and there are still many options. Laying it requires a minimum result.
If the bang is trimmed smoothly and gently, then it is not necessary to pack it, only occasionally change the style with brushing or another convenient method. If the hair is heavy, thick, you just have to put bangs more often. Jane Birkin has a light bang - she has thin hair, but there are a lot of them; it will be easy to grow and not fall into the eyes. It seems to me that such a bang also corrects the features: notice how well it balances the proportions of the elongated face.
