Bangs can dramatically change your look with a minimum of effort.- unlike complex dyeing, curling or straightening. But, to be honest, many are afraid to cut off their hair: some still remember bangs as an attribute of school style, others remember the pain of styling. We asked stylists and hairdressers from Moscow studios to tell us how to wear iconic bangs and get nothing but pleasure from them.
Bettie Page
SHORT BANGS, which was re-loved in the 90s - the calling card of the famous model
If your hair is not curly, it will be easy to style such bangs - just straighten it in your favorite way; a round brush will add fluffiness to it. I think it suits any solid hair color and looks great on oval and triangular faces. Such bangs will make a square or round face even more rounded, and it can also visually weigh down the chin. The best version of Bettie Page will look on non-graded, laconic haircuts, when the hair is cut to the same length.
However, if your hair is curly and you really want bangs, good styling will solve all the problems. I recommend looking for a product from the brands Redken, Label.M, JBH. Styling will make your hair smooth, elastic and manageable. If you want a permanent effect, you can get a special treatment in the salon that will keep your hair smooth for up to six months. Moreover, the procedure can be performed only on the bangs, without affecting the rest of the length - this way it will remain straight even during rain and inclement weather.
Peggy Moffitt
thick geometric bangs, which requires a special approach - but it really looks
royally
This type of bangs is primarily suitable for those with straight and dense hair: the thicker it is, the more impressive it looks. If the texture is appropriate, then there will be no problems with styling - just straighten it. In my opinion, when choosing bangs, you should focus on the texture. Now it seems to me that it’s important to combine this option with a short haircut like Peggy Moffitt’s. To bring it a little more into modern times, add texture to the ends with a cut and styling. You can try not to pull your bangs perfectly straight, but let your hair lie naturally.
This shape is suitable not only for straight, but also for curly hair. You don’t have to pull it out every morning: you can style your bangs the same way as the rest of your hair. Apply a curl-forming product for curly hair, lightly dry the roots and let the length dry on its own. In my opinion, this is the most relevant option today with straight bangs. An ideal example is model Mika Arganaraz's haircut, which hints at the now popular 80s.
Brigitte Bardot
long bangs, laid on both sides of the face, the French actress's iconic hairstyle has returned to fashion
One-to-one bangs like Brigitte Bardot's require thick hair - on thin hair, the result will differ from the desired one. It seems to me that such bangs go well with a high forehead and large facial features, and also emphasizes the eyes. The advantage of this option is that it will be very easy to install. Blow dry, lightly pulling strands away from your face using a coarse brush, and then set with a light hairspray to maintain volume throughout the day. By the way, on long hair, this bang perfectly continues the “layered haircut.”
Personally, I don’t really like these bangs - it seems to me that their days are long gone. I recommend others: for example, I would complement the bob and all its variations with asymmetrical elongated bangs. This option has already become a modern classic and allows you to experiment with lines and color nuances.
Audrey Hepburn
pixie haircut often involves neat bangs, and Audrey Hepburn is perhaps the standard
A bang like the one in the photo with Audrey will work on slightly curly or straight hair - its thickness does not matter. If you want to change the shape of your face with a haircut, then bangs can help - which is why they are often recommended for people with round or oval faces and those who want to correct the shape of their forehead. This bang goes exactly with a pixie haircut or a slightly longer bob haircut, and there is no need to specially style it.
In order to wear such bangs comfortably, both short and long, it is important that the master works on them properly. It all depends on where the artist studied and whether she or he knows different techniques and types of cuts. It is worth asking about everything in advance - as a rule, a professional can offer several options for one haircut.
Alexa Chung
many still do come to the hairdresser with photographs of the TV presenter, although the heroine herself has long changed her hairstyle
Bangs from the fashion of the 70s, hippie style, I remember Jane Birkin. This bangs - rounded in shape, with a soft edge - gives emphasis to facial features: on the eyebrows, on the eyes, on the nose. This is my favorite option for several reasons: I think it suits a variety of face shapes, grows out great, doesn't require constant trimming, and appeals to those with wavy or even curly hair.
You can lay it in several ways: for example, on both sides of the face, slightly opening the forehead; if the hair is thick enough, then the bangs may well lie casually and naturally without additional styling. If you're thinking about making a change, but don't want to spend too much time styling, this form will come in handy. It is better to discuss the details with a specialist: length, density and cut are of great importance, with the right approach, this bang will lie perfectly. I think it looks good on hair of different lengths, starting with medium.
Anna Karina
star hairstyle the French new wave was repeated by many - to this day it remains relevant and noticeable
Such bangs are not very popular now: long hair without geometric shapes is at the height of fashion. I like the hippie interpretation, a good example is Amanda Wall, creative director of the R+Co brand. This bang has a semicircular shape; closer to the bridge of the nose it is shorter, and at the edges it becomes longer and “breaks”. Some will say that this is not fashionable, but you don’t have to agree with it. The main thing you need to know about bangs is that they visually change the shape of the face and this should be taken into account when choosing your option. Natural bangs are good for those with medium-thick hair, but for those with very fine hair, I would recommend fringe extensions. Their fasteners today are more humane than ever.
You can match bangs to any hair - even curly. Long bangs and semicircular haircuts will require careful styling - their owners are usually looking for a middle ground between straight and slightly curly hair. Today it is customary to ensure that the bangs do not have root volume and fit snugly to the face. I really like geometric haircuts with bangs - I think this is a harmonious combination.
Jane Birkin
iconic messy bangs famous model and actress, which was inherited by her daughters
Today, bangs have become almost an accessory. Personally, I love making them: they reveal the image differently and add mystery to it. In this sense, bangs are very diverse; they can look rebellious, romantic, daring, or be part of a classic look. In general, I would approach the choice of bangs as if I were choosing other bright style elements.
The stylist must first look at the shape of the face, bone structure, whole image and listen to the client’s story about why he or she needs bangs, what she or he wants to emphasize. We cut bangs, like the rest of the hair, using the technique T&G, in which there are no misfires. The bangs turn out clear: they can lie straight or be asymmetrical, oval-shaped, laid on both sides - and there will be many more options. Ultimately, it requires minimal styling.
If the bangs are cut evenly and neatly, then there is no need to style them, only occasionally change the style by brushing or other convenient method. If your hair is heavy and dense, you will definitely have to style your bangs more often. Jane Birkin has light bangs - she has thin hair, but at the same time there is a lot of it; It will grow easily and will not get into your eyes. It seems to me that such bangs also correct the features: notice how well they balance the proportions of an elongated face.

Note, to get exactly the “right” volume of bangs, make the top layer of hair shorter than the bottom or the same length.
Straight and long bangs: rules for cutting hair at home
If your bangs have grown in a month, you can transform them into “new” ones – straight and long. Determine a straight line at the level of the bridge of the nose and make a cut on the hair.

Want to get bangs? Choose the one that best suits your face type. This article provides a hint on which bangs to choose for owners of the four main face types.
Round face
Avoid rounded bangs. Any smooth arches emphasize the roundness of the face, and you need to visually elongate the face vertically, or make it more angular. In general, you need to avoid bangs whose edges follow a semicircle (smile-shaped or arch-shaped).
Bangs with a “ragged” edge are suitable. It can be a light zigzag or thin strands falling over the eyes. But there should be some light volume at the roots of the bangs; it will balance out the round cheeks and not highlight them.
Important tip: Try bangs with the bottom edge just above your brow line. This will visually lengthen your face.
Square face
All bangs with a clear horizontal bottom line are not suitable for you. And in general, you should not consider any square shapes as an option. They will make the face too aggressive and stern.
Remember Brigitte Bardot's bangs. A fairly thick, flirty strand with jagged edges is what you need. It will make your face feminine and soft.
Important tip: Use a large round brush to style your bangs – the soft, rounded lines of volume will balance out a square face shape.
Oval face (if the forehead is low)
The best choice for this type of face is super-short bangs or no bangs at all. Medium-length bangs (as well as long ones) can emphasize a forehead that is not too large, and the face will not look harmonious. A compromise option is pin-up bangs. True, it requires a lot of effort to install.
Important tip: Unfortunately, extra-short bangs are difficult to maintain. It grows quickly and loses its desired length. Therefore, you will have to visit the hairdresser quite often - more often than necessary to maintain a regular haircut.
Oval face (high forehead, elongated proportions)
What a score! Almost any shape of bangs will suit and will decorate your face. However, there is a small exception. If the forehead is very high, then too long bangs will look unnatural and distort the proportions of the face. If you prefer only bangs that cover your eyebrows and even your eyes, you will have to take only the strands that grow along the hairline for bangs. If you take strands from the entire top of your head, the bangs will be too long.
Important tip: Dry shampoo is your best friend, as long, thick bangs only look elegant when they're clean.
Heart shape
Reese Witherspoon's bangs are most often cited as an example when talking about the heart-shaped face type. Multilayer bangs, as well as the favorite “feathers” of many, are almost universal: they smooth out the angularity of the face and do not weigh it down. Another successful bang option is long bangs, parted sideways: asymmetry also helps to hide a sharp chin.
Important tip: You can experiment with hair texture - a small wave will distract attention from a geometric chin.
Only a few French actresses have entered the history of world cinema, one of them is Brigitte Bardot. The fragile blonde with lush, voluminous curls, flowing bangs and huge, expressive eyes became a sex symbol of the 60s. During her career, she starred in more than 40 films, recorded about 80 songs, and was chosen to create the image of the symbol of France. According to the actress herself, she did not transform into her heroines, she only played herself.
Numerous novels, filming, social activities, and a busy life became the basis for the creation of an autobiographical film. The fight for animal rights deserves special attention; the actress managed to change the norms of livestock breeding at the legislative level. But for many, the famous Frenchwoman is associated only with the image of an attractive blonde, lightly romantic, a little naive. Brigitte Bardot's stylish hairstyle has gone down in the history of hairdressing and is still used today to create retro or evening hairstyles.
Natural appearance
Brigitte Bardot is an example of how a beautiful swan grows from an ugly duckling. By nature she has thick light chestnut curls, the slightly curly structure creates the effect of voluminous hair. In France, women's hairstyles are particularly elegant; classic shapes, lightness, and ease prevail. Even if styling is used, a minimal amount is used; the effect of carefully created hair-to-hair hairstyles is absent. The actress was no exception; throughout her career she wore a length below the shoulders, paying special attention to the volume at the root, emphasizing the fragile silhouette.
Viewers remember only in the image of a blonde, the star lightened her curls, curled them, creating beautiful large curls. I wore not only styles with loose strands. She made high hairstyles popular, her iconic “Babette” is still popular among graduates and is often used for a wedding look. Brigitte Bardot never dyed her hair dark, did not wear short hair, and did not use graphic hairstyles with sharp, even lines. At the end of her career, Madame Bardot did not change her principles, the only thing she stopped dyeing her hair, preferring natural gray hair.
What hairstyle did you have in childhood and adolescence?
The future star of French cinema was born in Paris, her father and mother were ardent Catholics and raised their children strictly, according to church traditions. Since childhood, she was not distinguished by beauty, even her own mother considered her an ugly duckling. At the age of seven she began studying ballet with her younger sister, but she quickly left choreography, concentrating on the exact sciences.
Bridget was not a diligent student at school, but she fascinated with her natural plasticity and grace, so she decided to devote herself to ballet. Her hairstyles did not differ from those of her peers; she wore two braids and also collected her hair in a sleek bun.
Young Bridget continued to study ballet, but no longer considered it a serious activity. Her mother, having decided to open a fashion store, used her eldest daughter Bebe as a model. Later, the future star was invited to shoot for Elle magazine; the photographer was captivated by the girl’s beauty, calling her the woman of the future. At that time, Mademoiselle Bardot wore long chestnut curls, falling in a soft wave below the shoulder line. She experiments with thick short bangs, laying them to one side, and often pins up lush, luxurious strands, creating a classic, elegant shell.
Star hairstyles
A romantic, daring, attractive image distinguishes the heroines of Brigitte Bardot. The actress chose roles that suited her temperament and lifestyle. The light, eccentric Frenchwoman promoted freedom from social stereotypes, creating hairstyles that emphasized her natural attractiveness.

She wears her hair loose and combed back. It also collects a high ponytail, revealing a beautiful neck line. The hairstyles emphasize the tenderness and romance of the young actress with her flawless, fragile silhouette.
Since 1955, the actress’s finest hour began, her image changed radically. Becomes more daring, defiant, gets rid of bangs, curls long curls with a textured wave. But the main transformation concerns hair color, The strands are dyed wheat blonde. The image is at the peak of popularity, it is inherited not only by Parisians, it inspires fashion designers to create new collections.

Assumes a high volumetric beam, Unlike the classic version, the strands are curled above the nape line in the crown area. Maximum volume is created, the styling has an elongated shape. Femininity and elegance are imparted by carelessly curled curls falling onto the face. The hairstyle is easy to create yourself, emphasizes the correct lines of the oval, and has correction properties. Despite its careless execution, it is often used for evening looks and special occasions.
The Sauerkraut hairstyle was created by the actress herself, experimenting with backcombing and long strands. The high hairstyle differs from the “Babette” in the large number of curls and the randomness of pinning up the curls. The high bouffant at the top of the head and elongated bangs are preserved, which the actress also curls in a soft wave. Textured strands at the temples emphasize attractiveness, while highlights of blond hair add additional volume and thickness.
Brigitte Bardot is distinguished by her signature bouffant and elongated bangs, reaching the length of her eyelashes. The image of a windy, romantic young lady is skillfully emphasized with a new hairstyle. The loose strands at the back of the head do not have a specific shape; the actress always emphasized naturalness, using a minimum of styling products. The haircut is slightly shorter than the usual length, but retains the elegance and vulnerability of the image.
70s
New fashion trends also influence the role of the actress; daring notes of aggressive attractiveness appear. Recognizable collected styles are replaced by loose curls, even along the entire length and curled at the ends. Uses a central parting that emphasizes regular, expressive facial features. When coloring, she experiments with platinum blonde, as well as more natural wheat shades.

For the last 20 years, the French cinema legend has been actively involved in protecting animal rights. Today Madame Bardot prefers styles with collected hair, the volume is evenly distributed on the back of the head and temples.

Hello from the 20s: bob in the style of Louise Brooks
The First World War forced many women to give up their long locks. This was facilitated by the lack of usual household amenities, work in a hospital and at the front. And after the war, bob haircuts became the object of fashion experiments. American silent film actress Louise Brooks made the hallmark of her style a bob helmet - a short smooth bob with clear contours, strands rounded towards the face and straight bangs.
