Microbangs

Very short bangs – a fashion trend as sharp as it is insidious. Irina Kashirina, the top stylist of the salon “Golden Section” tells about what features you should pay attention to before a bold move, and which bangs to choose from those that are now “walking” on the podiums.

Who Suits with Micro-Bangs

Very short bangs (or micro bangs) are ideal for, perhaps, only one type of face – the oval, which suits absolutely everything. If the face is round, square or heart-shaped, as well as large features, it is better to refuse from short bangs: together with the forehead it will expose everything else, emphasizing both the advantages of the face, and its flaws. In this case the splicing very short bangs takes a long time (the longer the hair, the longer it is necessary to splice bangs). Another problem: very short bangs on curly and curly hair – they will be difficult to tame on their own and may need long-term straightening.

Care for very short bangs

It is the bangs that grow back faster than the rest of the hair, so you will have to go to the hairdresser on average every two weeks. Bangs also get dirty before the rest of the hair and there are lots of reasons why they quickly lose their “freshness” – creams, cosmetics, skin grease and sweat, an abundance of styling products and, finally, our own hands that are constantly adjusting hair.

If you wash your hair every day, there will be no special changes in the hair care, but if you wash your bangs once every 2-3 days or less (if they are long) you will have to wash them separately. Otherwise the hair will look messy. The procedure does not take much time: just during washing, apply a drop of shampoo to the bangs and rinse off.

Peculiarities of the styling

Mentally prepare for the fact that even perfectly trimmed bangs need daily styling. The kind of bangs you came out of the salon with and the ones you saw in the mirror after a sweet nap ─ are two big differences. On the one hand this is good: you can try different hairstyles, making, according to your mood, either smooth straight bangs, or rounded combed sideways. On the other hand, it requires a few obligatory minutes of free time.

During haircutting the stylist will explain the basics of styling short bangs: what styling to use, what combs to choose and how to direct the air jet from the hair dryer, to arrange the hair as necessary.

Basic bangs care products

The main styling products for the care of bangs – these are gel, mousse, polish, wax and dry shampoo. True, you do not need to abuse them: the excess leads to the fact that the hair very quickly gets dirty – a vicious circle (and the quality of the curls suffers). In order to arrange your bangs a drop of strong fixing gel, a pea-sized amount of mousse or styling wax is enough. In some cases – such as after a long flight ─ to add volume, airiness and discipline bangs will help dry shampoo (in this case it will quickly “refresh” it).
