Not Sure If You Should Get Bangs: Here’s Some Advice!

The question of whether or not bangs are a good idea has been around for quite some time. Every single person has asked themselves the eternal "should I or shouldn't I get bangs" query at least once. Since more and more celebrities have been delving into the bangs look, the pull to just get the chop is more vivid than ever.

Still on the fence about calling your stylist and giving yourself a fringe? Let's explore the very concept of getting bangs more in-depth and the best way to rock 'em.

Take Your Hair Texture Into Account

Bangs, or bangs-style, can be flattering on almost everyone, but they may not look exactly like they do on the models, celebrities, or other people in your life. That’s because hair texture plays a major role in the style of bangs that will be best matched for you and the lifestyle you live.

Fine or thin hair, for example, will not do well with a heavy fringe. On the other hand, thick hair will not do well with baby bangs. It's possible to get bangs with curly hair, but that's a considerable amount of work.

Questions To Ask Yourself

A good way to figure out whether or not you should get bangs is to ask yourself the following questions:

  • "Can I get regular trims?" - (Bangs require maintenance that involves regular trimming.)

  • "Do I wear glasses regularly?" - (Bangs can get in the way of properly wearing glasses. On the flipside, there can be a marked difficulty in styling them since the glasses are more important.)

  • "How much do I style my hair at home?" (Bangs require some level of styling.)

  • "Will I be willing to style my bangs every day?" (Bangs, left alone, will look like awkward flyaways.)

  • "Will I mind having hair on my face?" - (Bangs will basically mean hair on your face.)

Be Prepared For A Long-Term Commitment

Whether a person is wearing their hair wavy, curly, or pinned back in a ponytail, bangs can help supplement the hairstyle and add flair. A person who does not like styling her hair, however, might find this difficult. This means that having a fringe on a daily basis may not be the best route to take.

Different Bangs For Different Face Shapes

To properly cut bangs for your face shape, think about what parts of your face you want to draw attention to. For example, if you have deep-set eyes, long bangs can make them look even deeper. If you have high cheekbones, side-swept bangs will draw attention to your cheeks. If you have a long nose, curtain bangs can help increase the overall length of your face. Make sure your bangs accentuate your best features instead of distracting from them.

Conclusion

Bangs are never really out of style, they're just more trendy than usual during certain seasons. That said, many people grapple with whether or not to get them. It's good to ask certain questions of oneself when making the decision, such as whether regular trims would be possible. Taking hair texture into consideration also goes a long way in the final choice of fringe.
