Re: Back With a Bang

My last post gave us a look into the most popular (current) hair trend: Bangs.  So I decided to cut my own bangs and give this trend a shot.  

Here is a look at the before and afters.  I do have to say that  I really do think that cutting the bang helped to update my look.  It is fresh and edgy.  What do you think about this trend?  Do you agree that it is a great way to update your look?

Back With a Bang

Are you feeling under the weather?  Feeling dull and lifeless?  Maybe it's time for a little "pick-me-up" for you to start feeling bold and beautiful again this winter.  This is a quick little fix to your haircut/hairstyle that will drastically change your look.  BANGS! 

Bangs are the hot trend right now, whether your hair is short, long, blonde or brunette.    Celebrities are sporting them all over the red carpet this season.  Bangs add a little mystery to your appearance, intriguing others.  Because bangs are a bold statement they send the message of confidence, which is a very attractive feature.

There are a few different ways you can rock this trend:

Feeling extremely confidant? Rock straight across fringe like Vanessa Hudgens.  This is the best look for women with an oval, triangular, and oblong face shapes.  If you have a round face shape you need to make sure you have enough height/volume at your crown when wearing a straight bang so that the bang does not make you appear rounder.  If you have a square face shape or heart shape this type of  bang may not be for you, because it will only accentuate the hard edges and not soften your look.   

If you are looking for a bit more conservative transition, but still want to change up your do, you could opt for some side-swept fringe. This is also a great way to wear a bang if you have a square of heart shaped face.  You can wear a side swept bang at many different lengths and you can wear a soft wispy bang, or a heavy side-swept bang.  

If you are not so sure about cutting a bang, you can always purchase a clip-in piece for a bang.  This way you can rock looks with and without bangs, giving you the opportunity to really switch up your look on a daily basis.  Also, you can get a feel for them and decide whether or not bangs are for you.
