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.
