Long strands of bangs are very smoothly visually woven into the general array of hairstyles. Most often, a bob and its varieties are cut on medium hair. Here, there is a lot of space for a flight of imagination - elongated strands of hair are made straight, beveled at an angle, laid on one side or divided into two sides at the sides, tucked behind the ear or twisted, making a large curl.

Wearers of hairstyles with long bangs can create a bright and impressive look by changing the way they style. Creating a hairstyle requires some skill and skill in using styling products.

Let's take a look at a few fashion trends when creating hairstyles, with an emphasis on elongated strands.

• Romantic retro look - we will get such an effect if we create an unusual thermal curling made on long strands above the forehead.To do this, the strands must be dried using a large brush or curlers and laid on their side, secured with strong fixation varnish.

• Parted evenly - the separation of hair strands together with bangs can be performed strictly in the middle relative to the center of the forehead, or the parting can be shifted to the right or left. The essence of styling is that the strands are arranged in an even and smooth layer on each side of the parting. And you can fix these strands in the form of a hoop on the back of the head or leave them hanging loose. There is another option - to fasten some of the strands with a hair clip at the temple.

• Weaving - long strands above the forehead can be braided in the form of a braid, using strands from the occipital and temporal regions. The braid can be directed in any direction and start from the temple. To perform such weaving, the length of the bangs hair must be at least the length of the head circumference - only in this case the hairstyle will look as natural and effective as possible. This type of styling has recently been quite popular among young people.

• Straightening - This styling method is done by pulling the strands with a brush and hair dryer. The hair is pulled away from the face and the ends are either curled outward or tucked inward. This styling technique looks especially beautiful on beveled bangs, and this hairstyle looks very elegant and natural.

• Laying on two sides - This is the most common and simplest way of styling elongated strands located near the face. Hair is pulled out with a hairdryer or iron, then lightly combed in the root zone and parted by hand. The look should be deliberately careless, while the hair creates a flying effect.

• Applying a scarf or shawl - this method is quite easy to implement. You will need a ribbon or scarf that can match and complement your main outfit in color. When styling, gently comb the strands from the forehead to one side, and then we tie a scarf around the head over the hair. The knot can be hidden in the back under the hair, or, conversely, tie it on the forehead in the form of a bow. You can think of many variations, but the essence is the same - remove all long strands under a wide ribbon.

In order to make it easier to cope with styling, experts advise adhering to several important principles.

• It is much easier to dry and straighten hair strands in the desired direction with the help of the slotted nozzle for the hair dryer. In this case, the hair dryer itself must have a high power and have at least 3 temperature switching modes.
• Hot air is used to dry the hair, but in order to maintain the hairstyle, the hair must be cooled in the cold mode of the hair dryer.
• Use styling products more carefully - in excess of them, the hair will look stale and difficult to style.
• Keep an eye on the quality of your hair - regularly remove split ends and use moisturizing and nourishing masks. Styling looks the most advantageous only on beautiful and healthy hair.
• Styling should be done on clean hair - this is the key to the success of all work.

Today, hairstyles with elongated strands are more relevant than ever. And the variety of accessories and all kinds of styling products helps to create almost any stylistic image you have in mind.

As a rule, any woman loves frequent changes in appearance, and almost everyone at least once in their life had a question about how to cut their bangs on their own so as not to change the entire hairstyle. It's actually quite doable and not that hard once you know how to get started right.

So, let's start shaping our elongated bangs.

• Comb through your hair and identify the strands above your forehead that you intend to cut.
• The rest of the hair should be pushed back to the back of the head and secured with hair clips.
• You need to divide the part of the hair that you have outlined for the haircut in the horizontal direction into 2 equal parts, while the upper part must be fixed with a clip and taken up - now we do not need it yet.
• The rest of the hair volume will need to be firmly taken between the fingers of the hand to get an even canvas and pull them down towards you.
• You already know how long the strands you need, so it is at this distance from the forehead that you make the first cut. You need to cut the hair exactly along the entire web of the strands sandwiched between the fingers. It is advisable to do this in one clear and correct movement.
• Now we need the second part of the hair, which we fixed for a while and pushed up. We will do the same with it - we will pull it down towards ourselves and fix it between the fingers of our left hand.
• You need to make a second horizontal cut at the same distance from the forehead as when shaping the first part of the bangs.
• Now you need to comb the resulting strands and, if necessary, even out the existing imperfections, as well as correct the strayed individual hairs.

That's all - this is where the whole process ends. If you want to make the cuts more fluffy, take a special hairdressing scissors for thinning in your hands and use them to process the ends of the strands about 1 to 2 centimeters high. The milled strand looks lighter, and visually it creates the effect of additional volume.

Now the trimmed strands need to be styled so that they do not get into the eyes and do not interfere. For this we need styling products, a round brush and a hair dryer.

• Apply a styling agent to clean and damp hair.
• We again divide the bangs into two vertical parts, and we will fix the upper part with a clip, and we will begin work with the remaining part.
• Setting the hair dryer to hot dry. We wind the hair on a large round brush and dry each strand thoroughly. In this case, we pull the hair down, and slightly twist the ends of the strands inward.
• Only after we have thoroughly dried the first part of the strands, we proceed to drying the second part. It is done in the same way as in the first case.

If you want to direct the entire volume of the strands to one side, then this can be done in two ways.

• The first way. The entire mass of the strands is treated with a styling agent, a side parting is done, and then dried with a hairdryer, directing the strands in the direction you need. During the drying process, the tips are twisted inward. Then you need to walk through the strands with cold air and cool them in order to keep the created hairstyle shape as long as possible. A medium to high hold hairspray will help fix it.

• Second way. Strands of bangs are abundantly treated with a special styling gel, and the entire mass of hair is combed with a comb in the desired direction. Now the strands can be dried with a hairdryer and secured near the temple with a hair clip. If desired, the ends of the hair can be curled, then the hairstyle will become solemn and romantic.
