Tip #1: Ask Yourself These Crucial Questions
Before anything else, you’ll want to consult yourself. This sounds a little silly, but there are a few crucial questions to ask yourself and really mull over before determining if bangs are the right choice for you.
Do You Mind Having Hair In Your Face?
Having bangs means having hair in your face all the time. Sure, you can use some bobby pins or a headband to pin it back, but that takes a lot of effort. While this may not be an issue for some people, others may cringe at the idea of having hair in their faces.
Are Regular Trims Possible?
Your hair is constantly growing, and your bangs will be no exception to this rule. Without regular trims, your bangs will get too long and fall into your eyes. If you can’t commit to regular trims (generally every four to six weeks), bangs probably aren’t for you.
Are You Prone To Facial Acne?
If you’re one of the many people prone to acne, you may want to skip the bangs. Unfortunately, even the healthiest hair could increase the risk of acne — specifically on your forehead. A great skincare routine can help negate this possibility, but remember that this requires a time commitment.
Tip #2: Consult A Professional Hairstylist
Hairstylists are the experts when it comes to bangs and all things hair related. Only your hairstylists can really tell you if you should get bangs because they can take all the necessary things into consideration. For example, your hair’s texture, length, and overall health are contributing factors. Your stylist can also consider your face shape when determining whether bangs could be a good choice.
Tip #3: Understand Not All Bangs Are Created Equally
The term “bangs” is just an umbrella term for the many different ways you can cut your hair to frame your face. Your face shape is the most important consideration when determining the correct type of bangs for you. Although there’s no one-size-fits-all, the following are bang recommendations based on general face shape:
- Heart Face: Consider wispy fringe bangs that help elongate your forehead and accentuate your chin’s natural curvature.
- Round Face: Opt for thick, side-swept bangs to add angular length and elongate your jawline.
- Long Face: Heavy, straight-across bangs are an excellent choice because they create more overall balance in your facial features.
- Square Face: Try fringe bangs that graze the top of your eyebrows to optimize your natural balance and symmetry.
- Oval Face: You’re lucky because your face structure perfectly supports almost any bang type.
Tip #4: Realize That There’s a Time Commitment To Bangs
Many carefree hairstyles only require a standard commitment to washing and drying. Bangs aren’t one of those. The most significant time commitment is carving out room for regular trims in your schedule. But you’ll also need to tweak your haircare routine so you can keep your face-framing strands healthy and style your bangs every single morning. The exact style requirements vary by bang type, but you can realistically expect an extra 5- to 20-minute style commitment every morning.
Tip #5: Know You’ll Need A Flawless Haircare Routine
Bangs aren’t something you can tuck back into a ponytail or a messy bun if you’re having an off hair day. They’ll always be framing your face, front and center, so a flawless haircare routine becomes even more crucial. To do this, you need to make sure you’re using the right products and tools.
Choose The Right Brush
Did you know different hairbrush bristles were designed for different hair types? If you didn’t already know, don’t feel bad because you’re far from alone. If you’ve been using the wrong hairbrush, switching to the right one will make a world of difference. Generally, you’ll want to opt for boar bristle brushes for fine to medium hair and metal bristles for thick or curly hair.
Use Hair Products That Actually Work For Your Hair Type
Generic haircare products often aren’t designed with your specific needs in mind — Prose hair care products are. Our formulas are customized based on your hair, lifestyle, and other personal considerations. You can improve your hair’s health just by switching out your products. That’s a pretty simple solution to a flawless haircare routine.
Opt For Specialized Hair Towels
Consider using a microfiber hair towel wrap for your hair instead of traditional options. Our hair towel helps your hair dry faster, prevents unwanted frizz, and preserves your hair’s natural texture. Oh, and skip the rough drying routine, too. Instead, gently scrunch your hair with a towel before wrapping it.
