BANGS!!! (or Fringe) but i don’t have a cool British accent, so were gonna go with Bangs.
Hello all! Above are a few of my clients…pretty bang’in right??
So its the question I hear weekly when a client sits down in my chair, “what do you think about bangs?” We’ve all done it before, whether its coming home from a late night out, or not being able to get in with your stylist for instant gratification, you grab the scissors and cut the first thing you see, which is always your poor fringe. Tired of having to fix the bang massacres, my first thought was to start a hot-line. A number you could call 24hrs. that would connect you to a bang suicide specialist that will talk the scissors out of your hand. Since my dream fringe hot-line will probably never happen, here’s some tips and things to consider before you commit…
- Unless your the 1% of women that can just wake up with perfectly placed hair, you MUST be willing to take 5 minutes to blow dry or flat iron. Most of us are blessed with cowlicks right in our front hairline. If you are one of these people, a must have for you for a good bang blowout is: A paddle brush. Flat wrapping (brushing from side to side) while blow drying will help them lay as flat as possible. Then pass over with the flat iron a couple times using a comb. Bam, Your done.
- You should always consider the weather. I live in Texas, aka a steam room, I always remind my clients that if you get short bangs in the summer, they will be stuck to your forehead for the majority of it! Fall is a great time to get bangs, then grow them out before the wet poodle look sets in.
- I shouldn’t be telling you this but, if you must do your own bang trim, always, cut them dry! Never wet. Chip cut a quarter inch off the bottom. Then wait till the next day before you keep going. Or you can just come to your awesome stylist and let us handle it.
- I’m not speaking for every stylist, but for me personally, I love pictures for references. Don’t be afraid to show your stylist a few pics to show aesthetically which direction you are going in. Its a BIG help.
Hope this helps you feel a little more confident about your bang/no bang decision! Your stylist can help you decide which length, shape, and heaviness is right for you. Good luck!
