5. Classic full bangs
In the world of hair trends, classic full bangs are making a comeback. Blunt bangs cut straight across from the outside corner of each eye are giving bobs, lobs, and long hair a chic statement look. This structured fringe not only dresses up your face but also provides serious camouflage for the forehead or a receding hairline, drawing attention to your eyes.
Unlike other bang styles like curtains or Bardot/Birkin bangs, classic full bangs require precise maintenance to keep the line sharp. The angled corners and density are key features of this fringe, but they can be modified for a softer effect by tapering the ends or snipping the bang section slightly longer at the outer corners. It’s important to have your stylist adjust the depth and width to your personal proportions for the best look.
To maintain the slightly rounded shape of classic full bangs, it’s recommended to dry them with a round barrel brush. However, be cautious of creating a “bumper effect” by brushing the bangs to the left and then to the right as you dry them. Regular trims are essential to keep this style looking sharp, so inquire about your salon’s policy on bang trims or ask your stylist for a lesson on DIY trimming between appointments.
Overall, classic full bangs are a timeless and sophisticated choice for those looking to make a statement with their hairstyle. Embrace this trend and rock your new look with confidence!
