- An exceptional feature of Korean bangs is heart shape. This is a playful youthful form of a bang, which looks interesting on a young face. Perhaps the young Korean women borrowed it from the characters of the manga, because in everyday life this hairstyle may look a little ridiculous, but cute. Usually such a bang keeps the shape due to a small amount of gel and wet hair treatment with a hair dryer.
- Bangs It is also often found among women of fashion in Asia, but it must be borne in mind that curls are usually not obtained in a natural way, but are created by means of a perm, which may not always well affect the health of the hair.

Advantages and disadvantages
Of course, wanting to make a variety in your image, do not forget that bangs, like any element of hair, has its advantages and disadvantages. The decision to change the image should always be approached wisely, adequately evaluating all its external data. Below will be presented the main pros and cons of cutting the front curl of the head. The advantages of Korean bangs include:
- a stylish look that will not go unnoticed among your relatives and friends and will tell people a lot about you;
- eye-catching image, because Korean fringe itself draws the attention of others;
- the underscore is also the prerogative of the bang, especially if you additionally add brightness to the image with makeup;
- concealment of skin defects, but do not forget that this is only a cosmetic measure and it is better to do the removal of deficiencies and take measures for skin care;
- a visual change in the size of the forehead, if we are talking about a high forehead, greatly lengthening your face;
- facial rejuvenation, as mentioned earlier, often the choice of this element of hair can hide age-related changes.
Among the disadvantages are usually distinguished:
- Special care requirements, in your home cosmetics bag there must be tongs and ironers;
- additional time spent on styling, which ends not only with home care, but also requires frequent visits to a hairdresser or stylist;
- compulsory skin care of the forehead, because under the bangs the skin often sweats and becomes fatter, which causes unwanted acne and black spots.
Who is going to?
If you decide that the disadvantages are not so great and you can try to make a difference in your image, proceed to the next question. Like any other hairstyle, Korean bangs are not for everyone. Often how it will look depends on the shape and features of the face, as well as the structure of the hair.
Since re-growing hair is a rather long process, it is better to think it over in advance, it will be useful to consult with a specialist.
The first thing to remember is that Korean bangs, as one type of long bangs, visually shortens the face, and also emphasizes the narrow chin. In this regard, it becomes clear that it is undesirable to choose a hairstyle for girls with a triangular face type, as well as with a round face. On the contrary, Korean bangs will suit the girls with a high forehead and an elongated long face shape. Also, a long volume bang visually reduces the nose, and if it gives you some inconvenience for its size, the Korean bangs are your choice.
For owners of a square face, Korean bangs, thinned in the middle and thick on the sides, will do. Blonde women with a triangular face will give extra originality a bang, which on the sides will touch the eyebrows, and in the middle it will be slightly elongated. Those lucky enough to have a perfectly oval face, should opt for a thin straight classic Korean bangs, which reaches a distance just below the eyebrows.
As for the structure of the hair, a bang for a holder of thick, long, straight hair with a strong healthy structure would be a more suitable option. Best of all, if the hair color will be darker tones, which corresponds to the canons of the creators of this fashion.
If you can not boast of density, it is better to refuse such an option. And wavy or curly hair will create huge problems when styling, then you have to spend much more time on it.
In this case, it would be better to always carry an umbrella with you; otherwise, if water gets on your head, all your efforts will go down the drain. Sometimes deliberate sloppiness can emphasize the image, because first of all Korean bangs are an original element of your style.
Performance technique
On the Internet there are many video tutorials that quite clearly and clearly explain how to cut the bangs on your own and tell you about the techniques for cutting haircuts. We will not give references in examples, they can be easily found independently. We will try to transfer the main information from them. An essential element of a haircut, if you decide to cope with the creation of a new image, is to have on hand all the necessary tools, they are best purchased in specialized stores. First we need the following set:
- straight scissors;
- thinning scissors;
- the combined hairbrush;
- clips for hair.
Before haircut, you should carefully wash the hair and leave it wet, it will help to divide the strands into zones more clearly. The first technique is quite simple.Take a strand of triangular-shaped hair of the required width, taking into account that the haircut will take place in three stages with an increase of 1 cm in each stage. Leave one lower third loose, nail the rest of the hair, throwing it back. Consider that when the bang is dry, it will be shortened by a couple of centimeters, so cut it so that the bang is at the level below the eyebrows in the eye area. Each new strand must be carefully combed.
After drying, an additional stroke will be a neat alignment along the length of the comb, edging, but do not take too much so as not to spoil the look of the hairstyle. If you want to give bangs more pomp, this will help thinning shears.
The second technique can be called a technique for advanced users with long hair. It is best to watch the video on it in advance, because the first time, based only on the description, it will be difficult to repeat this. A small strand of hair is combed and, without dividing into parts, is grasped with one hand.
With the second hand, we gradually begin to cut off the excess from it, giving the bangs the necessary shape. The final stage is still filirovaniya. Bangs should not be thin, itself divided into two parts. That's it, Korean bangs are ready.
Now you can lay it, for example, on two sides, or make a sweet heart with the help of the gel and your personal skill. Do not be afraid to experiment, it was this feature that allowed Asian women to spread their trends outside the country.

Councils of hairdressers and stylists
Owners of rare thin hair stylists, as a rule, are advised to put a special serum on it before styling a bang without using silicone as a part. This measure is due to the fact that this type of hair usually loses its shape faster, becomes salted and becomes completely unpresentable. Will be useful wash bangs more often than other hair on the head, as it gets dirty before, and washing your head several times a day does not always have the time and opportunity.
Professional hairdressers claim that in this case even not very clean hair will look well-groomed.
Try not to use oily facial care products, as the bangs always touch the forehead and may get even faster from getting dirty. Remember that choosing a thick bang, you do not need to forget about special skin care products, for example, tonic for its degreasing. There are special dry shampoos, very comfortable at the modern pace of life. They are sprayed on the desired area of the head and act as a powder, which hides the oily shine of the skin. Spray is applied to the hair roots and is distributed evenly comb. Usually it has instructions for use.
If you do not want or can not turn to a professional stylist, you can search for courses for stylists for beginners on the Internet, there are many special video tutorials and blogs on how to choose the right haircut for you. When laying bangs do not be zealous with various types of stylers. Foams, mousses and gels are good in moderation. Otherwise, even the perfect clean strands will not look very good. Also do not forget that you need to distribute them on wet hair. When choosing a styler, it is better to give preference to lacquers of medium and weak fixation.
