Have a conversation with your stylist.

Before you make the decision to get bangs, the most important thing for you to do is? Have a conversation with your hairstylist. According to Amanda Stevens, a master hairstylist at Spirit Spa in Halifax, "They have the expertise to know what your hair texture will do when curly hair with bangs are cut in a certain way; they will let you know when something won't work; and they will also be able to educate you on the right products and the way to style them." "They have the knowledge to know what your hair texture will do when bangs are cut in a certain way; they will let you know when something won'tAdditionally, Dana Lyseng, owner of Supernova Salon in Vancouver and creative director there, is a firm believer in the importance of consultations."The most important part of any hairdressing job is the consultation. She says, "Personally, I want to make certain that the natural fall of the client's hair will make it simple for them to style their hair."

Find the cut of curly hair with bangs that suits you best.

According to Samantha Stonehouse, senior stylist at Cowlick Salon in Toronto, square face shapes should steer clear of fringe that is more severe or blunt in appearance."Try a side-swept look or a softer, wispier fringe that is longer around the temples," the stylist advised. According to her, people with round or heart-shaped faces can pull off blunt bangs, while people with oval faces can wear any style of fringe. Stonehouse relies on the following rule when trying to choose which style to go with: wherever the length of your bangs ends will draw attention to that feature or part of the face. Case in point: Case in point:"Baby bangs that are cut short, for instance, will draw attention to your eyebrows or glasses. According to Stonehouse, having bangs that skim over the brow will draw attention to your eyes, while having a curtain fringe will accent your cheekbones or nose."Flattering bangs should frame and focus on the positive features of your face rather than overpower or cover it up,"

Take into account the texture of your hair.

Stonehouse believes that anyone can have bangs, but that they may not be able to get the style of hair styles with bangs that they want. She claims that the texture of your hair plays a role in determining which type of bangs will be most appropriate for you and the way you live your life. It is possible that a heavy fringe will not work well for you if you have fine or thin hair because there will not be enough weight for the hair to lay in place properly. Because thick hair would need to be significantly thinning out in order to lay flat, those with thick hair may have difficulty wearing baby bangs. Personally, I think bangs look great in curly hair. Sit down with your hairstylist and have a conversation about your options before making a final decision about your look.

Recognize the level of dedication that is necessary.

The amount of time and commitment that goes into maintaining bangs can often make them feel like a chore, despite the fact that they are oh-so-chic and add a bit of flair to your hairstyle. According to Lyseng, "if a client really doesn't love styling their hair, a fringe can be a big daily challenge, so in that case, I would probably not recommend it."

Get regular trims

Making time in your schedule to get your bangs trimmed on a regular basis is one of the most significant commitments that comes with having bangs. When it comes to trimming, a lot will depend on the length of your fringe and the style you want. According to Stonehouse, the more frequent the upkeep is required (typically once every four weeks), the shorter and more angular the fringe is."Curtain bangs or side-swept fringe can last a long time, more like six to eight weeks to maintain the style," one user commented.

Change up your usual hair care routine.

If you choose to get bangs, in addition to the mandatory necessity of getting regular trims, you may also find that your morning primping routine needs to be adjusted to accommodate your new hairstyle."The only change you need to make to your routine is to make sure that you blow dry and style the fringe as soon as you step out of the shower," says Lyseng. Because your natural hair pattern will become more pronounced as your hair dries, styling your fringe may become more difficult as a result. If your hair styles with bangs are looking a little disheveled when your alarm goes off, Stevens suggests that you might need to schedule a few extra minutes in the morning to give them a proper style. To style your bangs, which can be done by spritzing them with dry shampoo or wetting them down and blow-drying them, the entire process takes no more than five minutes.

To get warmed up, begin with an easier style.

If you're on the fence about getting bangs, Lyseng, Stonehouse, and Stevens are unanimous in their recommendation that you give a warm-up style a shot first. Enter: side-swept bangs."A softer side-swept fringe or angled fringe is great if you aren't quite ready to go for fuller bangs or blunt bangs," says Stevens. "They are great because they require less of a commitment to style, and they grow out much easier."Stonehouse suggests that curtain bangs are an additional choice that can be made in addition to a messy side-swept fringe."It's a grown-out fringe that has a feel of the 1970s about it. It is longer and has a softer texture around the face, and as it grows out, it can be parted in the middle."

Learn how to use these styling tips.

It's common knowledge that bangs are notoriously difficult to style, and they can even act on their own sometimes. The stylists Lyseng and Stevens have a few tricks up their sleeves that will assist you in maintaining control of your bangs. Lyseng recommends that you give the flat wrap technique a shot if you have a cowlick or bangs that are prone to losing their shape quickly."When styling, use a flat brush and blow dry the hair from left to right diagonally down and across the forehead," the stylist advised. "This way, you relax all of the challenging natural movement, and your fringe will lay beautifully."In addition, Stevens suggests utilizing the flat lay technique and holding the style with a light-weight styling spray or mousse applied to damp hair.

Utilize the appropriate products.

The key to truly falling in love with your new hairstyle is to fill your medicine cabinet with wonderful products to use on it. Dry shampoo, according to Stevens, is the best way to keep your fringe looking clean and help absorb oil. She also suggests purchasing a lightweight hairspray that enables you to restyle your hair without leaving it sticky, as well as a styling spray or mousse that can help tame unruly strands and cowlicks. Both of these products can be purchased at a beauty supply store or online. Stonehouse claims that having the right tools is the key to producing high-quality bangs. When I want to style my bangs, I use either a Denman brush or a flat paddle brush in conjunction with a flat iron. If your bangs need to be sleeker, make sure to use a heat protectant when using a flat iron to coat your strands. If you're rocking the aforementioned curtain bangs, opt for more texture by finishing with a sea salt spray.
