Bangs will forever be in style. Depending on your look and hair type, they can add drama to your face, frame your eyes or draw attention to your cheekbones. With so many celebrities getting bangs cut in for summer, it’s no wonder that more and more of us are considering getting the chop – however, there are some points to be aware of when it comes to styling and maintenance, so check out these key tips here.
Talk To Your Stylist
Before you take the plunge and ask for bangs, check in with your stylist first—do they think that bangs will work for your current lifestyle and styling regime? If they express any doubts, it may be worth opting for curtain bangs instead, which are slightly easier to maintain and style.
Consider The Length
If you opt for eyebrow-grazing bangs, you’ll need to be aware that you’ll be back in the stylist’s chair in no time, unless you’re happy with your hair growing over your eyes. Some people can handle the feeling of hair flicking over their face, and others can’t. The length of your bangs is certainly something to consider when you speak to your stylist.
Heat Or No Heat?
There’s no doubt that bangs can be fiddly to style, and most people do resort to heat every now and again, whether that’s blow drying with a round brush or straightening their bangs. If you’re not someone who uses heat to style your hair, consider how you’ll get your bangs to behave on days when they want to stick straight up or fly away. It might be worth investing in a medium-hold gel to help contain them.
