Bangs are one of the most important nuances of any haircut. It can significantly affect the perception of the image. Recently, the fashion for this part of the hairstyle is gradually returning. Stylists and hairdressers have come up with numerous varieties of strands that help diversify boring haircuts and give any woman an individuality. Before deciding on a radical change in style, it is very important to study the varieties of haircuts with bangs and try to try on each of them.
History reference
This detail of hairstyles appeared in ancient times. In museums, manuscripts and works of art have been preserved that describe female images with hairstyles of those years. Even then, women tried to change their appearance with the help of short locks on the forehead.
In ancient times, it was believed that only people of noble origin can do special hairstyles. For example, the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra had many different wigs with bangs. Then it was customary to wear straight and short locks on the forehead, as women tried not to hide their beautiful expressive eyebrows.
Much later, in the Middle Ages, bangs almost completely went out of fashion. Then it was believed that a high open forehead is a sign of intelligence and virtue, so women completely got rid of the locks on their foreheads and even shaved part of their hair. Only short curled curls remained, forming some semblance of a halo.
Looking at our contemporaries, you can see that the haircut fashion with bangs is back again. This was largely due to the fact that short locks on the forehead help to refresh the image and give it mystery. Now there are many types of this style, so you can choose any of the existing varieties.
How to choose the right form
Hairdressers advise, before deciding to cut with a bang, try to “try on” this image for themselves, as they do with a dress before buying. Because it is impossible to understand whether this image is suitable for you, looking at the model girl with bangs in the photo. Make a “fitting” will be much easier if you take a strand of hair (it does not matter - artificial or real) and put it on your forehead in front of the mirror, giving it the shape you would like to get after the wizard finishes. Then it becomes clear whether a haircut with bangs is suitable or not.
There are various computer programs that allow you to change the hairstyles on the screen, superimposing them on an existing photo. This method helps to avoid subsequent disappointments if you suddenly do not like a haircut. Stylists have developed a number of tips that help you choose the right bang for your face:
- If the face is elongated, then the long bangs help to make it more harmonious. However, do not make short varieties, as they further emphasize the elongated shape.
- Girls with an oval face and high cheekbones can use any model of this hairstyle. Ideal oblique or long bangs.
- If the face has wide cheekbones, squaring, then the stylist with the help of a bang should try to soften such a shape. An asymmetric strand, elongated on one side, will help solve the problem.
- Owners of a round face are shown short bangs with torn edges.
- If the shape of the face is more like a triangle with wide cheekbones and a sharp chin, then a strand is laid on the side. It can be of great length. However, it is better if the hairdresser does thinning. Then the disproportionate shape of the face will not be so noticeable.

Well-groomed untidy locks on a forehead only spoil all appearance. Hairdressers advise you to follow the simplest rules:
- Bangs can be washed at least every day. To do this, it is not necessary to apply the shampoo on the whole head. It is enough to wet part of the hair on the forehead, thoroughly soap it, and then rinse with warm water.
- Try to use as little curling iron and a straightening iron as possible, otherwise the hairs on the bangs will begin to cut, and it will have an ugly appearance.
- Styling can be done already on wet hair. It is enough to buy curlers with a diameter of 3-4 cm.
- If for the festive evening a special styling of bangs or fleece was done, then after the event you need to wash off the fixing agents and carefully dry your hair with a towel.
- If the curls have increased fat content, then you need to pay extra attention to their condition, regularly applying masks for this type of hair. Oily bangs look very ugly.
