I know you saw the latest influencer rocking her new bangs and now you’re thinking you want some. STOP, HOLD UP SIS! Bangs aren’t for everyone. There are multiple determining factors to see if this is for you or not. So before you grab those kitchen scissors and head to the bathroom, let’s talk about this.
Face Shape
The shape of your face has a lot to do with if you should have bangs and what type of bangs are going to be better for you. If you have a round face bangs can help to elongate it. If you have a more square shaped face, curtain bangs or side swept bangs would be a better option for you because it’ll help to soften your features.
Upkeep
Are you wanting straight across, blunt bangs? These require trims every couple of weeks. So are you going to be chopping on them yourself or will you be making frequent salon visits to keep them in check? If you’re not one to want to put in that kind of maintenance, I’d suggest trying a different type of bang or not doing them at all.
Styling
Because bangs are in your face and sitting against your greasy forehead theres a good chance that they will be greasy faster than the rest of your hair. Even if you’re on day 3-4 of not washing your hair and your hair still looks decent, 9 times out of 10 your bangs probably wont look as great. The good thing is, you can just shampoo and blow dry your bangs and not your whole head to keep things looking fresh. It’s definitely something you need to consider though, especially if you don’t shampoo your hair that often.
So after you’ve thought about all of these deciding factors and you’re still considering it, my next suggestion is to try it out. Don’t get your scissors out just yet sis. Try out a little clip on bang first. There are plenty of options that are super affordable, especially just for trying out the look. You can check some out here. Wear your clip in for a few days with a few different hairstyles and if youre still loving it, pull the trigger!!! I really hope these tips lead you to the right decision for you, if not check out my post on growing your hair faster so they can grow out quick, fast and in a hurry. lol
