Should you get bangs?
Bangs are a great way to spice up your hair style. They can put life
into a drab look, even modernizing it. Bangs are making a big
comeback today. But bangs do not come in one size. There are many
different types of bangs to choose from, all with different effects
on your hair style. Below are some of the more common types of
bangs.
One thing to keep in mind, before you get bangs cut, is that it may
take awhile to grow out the bangs if you do not like the look. You
may be able to see what bangs will look like to standing in front of
a mirror and placing some of your own hair around your forehead.
Below are descriptions of some more common types of bangs.
‘Not Really Bangs’ Bangs—These types of bangs are created
when you make a very deep side part, either on the left or right, on
your head and drape the hair from one side over to the other. If you
were to pull the hair straight down in your face, the hair would not
really be that short. This type of bangs will require some sort of
hair spray to keep the hair from falling into your face. This is a
great type of bang to try, as it doesn’t really involved getting
hair cut, as it is just the illusion of bangs.
Fringe Bangs—This type of bang is just a hint of bangs. They
do not completely cover your forehead, just a subtle effect. They
work to soften a hair style, draw attention away from high foreheads
or other facial features.
Choppy Bangs—This type of bangs is very popular. The hair is
very choppy, meaning not a straight or even angled line. They are
not a full bang, but add visual lines that can help accentuate your
facial features.
Straight Bangs—This type of bang is cut straight across the
forehead, with no angles whatsoever. It can be cut to medium length
bangs and even very short bangs. This type of bang is also great to
broaden a narrow face shape.
Long Bangs-- We named these the Eyebrow bangs because they
are long, full and right at or below the eyebrow. The long bang is
sometimes worn very long and practically covers the eyes. This type
of bang is sometimes called the Seventies Sexy Bang, and it is best
suited for face shapes that are narrow, heart or pear shaped.
Side-Swept Bangs-- We call this the face-framing type of
bangs. These are not a full bang, but rather long or short fringes
that are angled down the side of the face, basically swept to the
side, off of the face. These types of bangs work great for heart and
oval face shapes. It is probably one of the more popular types of
bangs that are worn today by women.
Basic Bangs-- These are normal bangs ranging in length from
short to long. The shorter version of this bang works well for
narrow face shapes.
Layered Bangs-- This type of bangs has added shorter layers
on top of longer layers. These types of bangs are great for adding
height and texture in the crown area. Styling this type of bang may
require extra time and the use of hair care products such as gels,
mousses and creams to keep all the layers in place.
In short, bangs are a great way to camouflage a high forehead, or
accentuate certain facial features. In our final part of Best
Celebrities Hair Styles for Your Face Shape, we will cover how you
can actually try on hair styles before you get them cut so that you
can be assured that the hair style you have selected will work with
your face shape and features.
