How to cut your bangs?

Properly styled and trimmed bangs are an important element of the overall image of any girl. Even the most experienced master often works for more than one hour on a beautiful styling or haircut, and it will cost a lot of money. How to cut your bangs correctly if you don't have time for a salon, but you want to be dazzling? Consider the best haircut options at home.

Correctly modeled bangs always look beautiful and attractive. In fashion magazines, models with bangs of a wide variety of types are constantly flickering: with graduation and milling, round and straight, even and torn. Well-chosen options are perfectly combined with the model's face oval, hair color and overall image.

The choice of a variety depends on a large number of factors.

Graduation, for example, which is done to add volume to hair, is unlikely to work for fine or sparse hair. In this case, experienced masters offer easy filing, it will not only preserve the overall structure of the hair, but also will not deprive it of its length.

If your hair is thick and strong, then most over-cut bangs will not work for you. To make such hair look good, it is better to make it oblique or torn.

If the hair is naturally smooth and does not curl, an even bang along the line of the eyebrows will be successful, if desired, it can be lowered to the eyelashes. For thick and wavy ones, graduation will be the best option. It will give your hair a well-groomed and voluminous look, help to increase or decrease the oval of the face and hide unwanted areas on it.

Depending on the shape of the face, you can choose this type of bangs, which will help visually correct prominent cheekbones or a heavy chin.

• Oval and round faces - these are versatile options for which almost any bangs are suitable.

• In the case of a square face bangs are simply vital, torn, oblique or uneven types will soften the oval, give it grace. Long, slightly curly hair will look especially good in such a situation. This will give a smoother edge to the sharp cheekbones and chin.

• Triangular oval face needs a voluminous bangs, an even one will hide a large forehead, and an oblique and smoothly lengthening one will also hide the sharp shape of the chin.

For the correct selection of things for a particular hairstyle, it is recommended to visit a professional stylist. In any case, the styling must match the style.

An equally important point in the formation of bangs is the choice of parting. There are several types of it, the main ones are triangular and U-shaped. The choice between partings depends on the length and type of bangs you want. For hairstyles and bangs like a square, a triangle option is often used.

Depending on the type of styling and haircut, different tools are required, which, however, any fashionista can find in her apartment.

• Scissors. The most important thing on this list. For a quick and easy cut, you can use regular kitchen scissors, but keep them sharp and comfortable. For more professional and sophisticated haircuts, you should get hairdressing and thinning.

• Mirror. Any option is suitable here, even a small cosmetic mirror can be enough in skilled hands to make a beautiful bang.

• Hair dryer. Suitable for "wet" styling of bangs (using varnishes, wax, mousse) or for adding volume.

• Comb. The choice of this tool depends entirely on your hair type and the desired bangs. A universal option would be to use two combs at once - with large and small teeth. The first option will straighten your hair, the second will help with adjusting the volume and length of the bangs.

• Sprayer for water very useful for unruly hair, but you should not get too carried away with moisturizing the strands. If the bangs come out already short, then after drying the hair, especially light hair, it may turn out to be even shorter.

• Clips or regular hairpins. They will help with fixing the hair in the desired position and with further styling.

• Hair clipper. The same indispensable tool for some fashionistas, like scissors. But without experience and the necessary attachments, you should not use the machine.

There are minimal guidelines.

• With a little moisturizing with a spray, even the most unruly hair straightens, visually increases in size, it is easier to shape and cut them. But, as we have already advised, during the haircut itself, it is recommended to at least partially dry the strands in order to avoid an undesirable result.
• It is quite difficult to work even with wet hair - scissors can slip, individual strands can stick together. Then light fixation is acceptable, usually hairspray is taken.
• Try to use only professional tools. Well-sharpened scissors or clippers on a typewriter greatly simplify cutting any hair.

Every independent hairstyle modeling, whether it is just a bang adjustment or a change in the entire image, begins with an assessment of your hair and the shape of your head. This moment is very important, since not every face will fit a torn or round bangs. And not every hair will look harmonious with a particular styling.There are a fairly large number of types of bangs haircuts, consider a few of the most popular.

One of the most common and controversial options. A torn bang with a successful haircut can fit any oval of the face, thanks to its crumbly and uneven structure, it can hide some imperfections on the forehead: pimples, wrinkles, redness. Step-by-step instructions for cutting ragged bangs are as follows.

• First of all, it is worth separating the bangs from the rest of the curls using clips or hairpins.
• Then the hair is slightly moistened and twisted into dense flagella. After that, the flagellum is cut at the desired angle (45-60 degrees), the place for cutting is indicated in advance by eye. Keep track of the final length. It is this distance that will set the length of the entire bangs.
• The hair is then combed, shaped into the desired hairstyle and fixed with foam, wax or hairspray.

This option requires careful attention and a lot of patience from the master. The main difficulty is that the ends of the hair must be straight and symmetrical. As a result, such bangs will follow a clear semicircular line without unnecessary bends. The length is chosen independently depending on the proportions of the face, most often along the eyebrow line. Let's consider the main stages.

• With the help of the necessary parting, form the necessary bangs for yourself, fix the rest of the hair.
• Select one central strand of hair, along which we will be guided when cutting off other curls.
• We make an even cut at a predetermined length.
• Then we follow to any convenient side from the center of the bangs, gradually increasing (round) or decreasing (in the form of an arch) the cut strands. It is recommended to take a little hair each time, so the transitions will be smooth, and you will get a chance to fix something if at some point you make a mistake with the length.

• Be sure to make sure that the length of the hair on both sides of the bangs is the same and symmetrical. If you wish, you can always straighten out unsuccessful curls to the desired length.
• If you want to get more natural volume, carry out a very light thinning (although the round type of bangs is characteristic precisely for thick regrown hair, so thinning is not necessary), if you fix it, spray it with a little varnish.

Round bangs have their undeniable advantages over other types:

• will never go out of trend, with the correct and beautiful round bangs you will always remain fashionable and attractive;
• does not make the face heavier, on the contrary, makes it younger, focusing on the features of your face: eyes, chin and lips;
• ideal for girls with irregular eyebrows, large nose or forehead;
• it is simply fixed and does not reach into the eyes, it does not need to be constantly laid and shaped.

This option is more picky about details and skillful hands. First, you need to be patient and calm down - trembling hands are especially not desirable if you are going to make straight bangs without additional tools for hair straightening.

• First, we still carefully select the desired length and shape of the bangs, the rest of the hair is fixed with clips.
• On the right side of the bangs we take the most extreme curl, for convenience, you can clamp it between your fingers, then select the required length (usually lowered just below the eyebrow line). The dangerous length of wet hair has already been said.
• Hair is trimmed at a slight angle to add some volume to the bangs.

• We carry out the same manipulations with the most extreme left curl, focusing on the already selected length of the right one.
• Then we just choose the direction in which we will move, and alternately cut off the remaining strands in the bangs.
• The hair is combed, the missing strands are corrected.With the help of special scissors, light thinning is carried out. Then the hair is dried, given the desired shape and, if desired, fixed.

A bold and extravagant option that is not suitable for all girls. But this is one of the easiest options in the right hands. Next, we will consider the stages of the formation of such a bang.

• First, the necessary parting is done and the part that will go to the bangs is highlighted. The rest of the hair is fixed with clips as always.
• Some of the strands are cut to a fixed length. By this length, you will be guided when cutting the rest.
• Gradually do the same with the remaining strands. After completion, we comb, correct, fillet if necessary.

One of the most original options. Despite the rather simple appearance and uncomplicated formation process, it is able to give any image showiness and mystery. For cutting such bangs at home, ordinary kitchen scissors are not suitable, and for a better result, it is advisable to use thinning scissors already at the time of adjustment. The formation of the oblique bangs can be done as follows.

• To begin with, select the side from which we will begin to move, and the desired length.
• We take a separate strand of hair and make an incision with scissors with the tip down (with an angle usually up to 45-50 degrees).
• We move carefully, choosing small strands, from top to bottom (or vice versa) in the desired direction, slightly increasing the length of the bangs with each transition. If you wish, you can leave a little more length in order to correct the result later.

• After the bangs are formed, simply comb through the hair and make sure that the cut line is smooth. You can also resort to thinning if you want to achieve a more natural hairstyle.

Many girls prefer purely natural beauty, growing long and well-groomed hair over the years. If you want to cut your bangs in front of these ladies is the largest choice, they can resort to any type already described above.

If a girl wants to restore the length of her hair, then this is also not a problem. The ideal option for a beautiful styling of growing bangs would be the use of fixing elements such as bandanas, headbands and headscarves. For secure styling of long bangs, ordinary invisibility and crabs are also suitable.

We have already mentioned such a process as thinning more than once. Let's consider a little better what is included in this concept and how to carry out a haircut with milling yourself. Note that the procedure is not recommended for thin and thin hair.

For skilled hands, this is a common process, and every girl at least once in her life has come across thinning scissors in a hairdressing salon. Thinning itself means thinning the hair in order to increase volume and give the hair a natural look. The most important condition in this case is that the teeth in the scissors are sharp.

Thinning is carried out in several stages.

• First, you must decide on the shape of your bangs, if it has already been chosen (and thinning is suitable for most of the types described), you should separate a small strand of hair from the bangs and roll it into a small bundle.
• After that, two cuts are carefully made with thinning scissors. One is in the middle of the strand, the second is 2-3 cm from the end.
• Focusing on the previous strand, we carry out the same manipulations with the rest of the bangs.
• After thinning, do not forget to comb your hair thoroughly, or it will be better to even wash your hair so that the cut ends do not remain on the skin and do not spoil the appearance.

A few additional recommendations will improve the result.

• As already mentioned, when choosing bangs, you should rely not only on modern trends, but also on the individual features of your face.It depends on them whether this or that bangs will be in harmony with your image.
• When shaping, it is better to always leave a little more length on the cut, so that in case of something you have a chance to correct the result. Long, but ugly bangs are easier to correct than very short ones.
• If you plan to form a straight version of curly hair, you should cut it after straightening the strands.

• There are times when the torn bangs do not look as impressive as in the picture. Most often, this applies to blond hair that merges with the skin. A torn hairstyle without fixation can simply turn into a shapeless mass. In this case, it is recommended to apply some styling mousse or wax to the ends of the hair. This will simultaneously highlight them and lock them in position.
• Creating extra volume can be tricky for fine or sparse hair. Then you should use a long round bangs, where volume can be created with varnish, hairdryer or special comb. This technique is called brushing by the masters.
• The very moment of the cut should be taken seriously. When cutting, it is recommended to pull back the strands not too much, so that the length as a result does not turn out to be less than expected and the cut line does not fly off. This is especially true for thick and voluminous bangs.

Most importantly, do not be afraid to experiment with hair, as you will soon find a more suitable option for you.
