What do you call them hair bangs or fringes? Yes, there is a naming controversy. Hair, which is cut to fall on the forehead covering it fully or partially, is called hair bangs in the US. However, in Europe, they prefer to call it as fringes, as the word bang has a different meaning in Europe. There, the bangs means ‘off colour’’.
Before you go for hair bangs, consider about your face shape, texture of hair and whether they complement the bangs. You can ask for the suggestion from your hairdresser. Here, let me tell you about different types of bangs, which can help you to choose the right one for you.
Have you heard of blunt bangs? To get this style, the bangs should be cut just below the eyebrow. The cut should be straight from side to side.
Another type of bang is called the side swept bangs. Here in this case, the bang begins from the side parting of your hair and sweeps across the forehead. The length of this bang tapers from shorter to longer, beginning from the side parting.
The parted bangs are a little variation of the blunt bangs. Here, in this case, you just have to cut a bit of hair from middle, so that it should look a bit parted in the middle.
Next, I would talk about the asymmetrical bangs. The name itself talks about the style of the bang. Yes, one can cut shorter in one side and longer in another side or shorter in the middle.
The last but not the least, there is another style called disconnected bangs. This kind of hair bangs brings extreme angles. So, the size of the hair from side to side varies drastically.
Once you are done with the cut, you can use a small brush over the bangs, in case you want some movement of hair in the bang. If you want the bangs to be stuck on forehead then use a small flat iron after your hair is completely dry.
