The graduation technique allows you to create a volume on thin hair, which is especially important for the hair of the frontal zone.
Varieties of graduated form.
- Short It is preferable to wear the owners of soft features. For girls with pronounced rough or sharp features, this bang will further emphasize the external aggressiveness of the image. The length of short bangs starts from 3 cm and reaches 5 cm. Contrast looks on long and medium hair. Together with a short haircut focuses on the face, the shape of the eyebrows. Perfectly complements the bob haircut, but along with it requires careful styling.
- Long Depending on the length of the initial and short strands visually lengthens or narrows the shape of the face.For the first option, the maximum length of the bangs reaches the middle of the chin or cheeks, the initial strand - to the middle of the forehead. Bangs at the same time can refuel for the ear. In the second case, the initial strand is located at the level of the eyebrows or below, the tip of the bangs is trimmed not below the middle of the cheek.
Asymmetrical
It is of short and ultrashort length. It is cut in the technique of "free hand", which allows you to create the effect of strands of different shape and thickness, made in the form of cloves.

Tricks with a non-standard line in everyday life are almost not worn, this type is more suitable for podium or competitive performances by the masters of hairdressing, as such bangs for performance require sufficient skill in possession of scissors.
How to choose the type of person?
The second criterion for choosing the type of bangs is the shape of the face. The formation of frontal strands of hair leads to a visual correction of the deficiencies of its shape.
Round
Oblique bangs can be worn on an asymmetrical parting. It should begin slightly above the level of the eyebrow or at the nose level, as long as one side of the face is covered as much as possible.
It is recommended to cut the classic straight cut, milled, graduated and torn bangs.
Square and rhombic
For this type of person is not recommended to wear short or creative bangs. The last frontal strand should be as long as possible, reach the level of the chin or below. The beginning of the haircut bangs begins in the eyebrows or eyes.
Oblique forms of the person combined with any length, but it is desirable to give preference to haircuts on medium and long hair to give the face an even more elongated shape.
Triangular
For a triangular face, oblique bangs should be divided into two zones with an asymmetrical parting. In form, it will resemble an arch with a displaced center. This distribution of hair will cover the area of the cheekbones and temples, visually giving the face an oval shape. It is recommended to cut straight or toothed cut, using the slicing method. Graduated and filleted bangs end at chin level and below. Combined with torn, cascading haircuts on medium and long hair.
Elongated
For owners of elongated faces, it is recommended to cut short and medium length oblique bangs of any kind. The main task here is to cover the forehead.
A bang is worn with any hair length, but is best suited to a caret that is no higher than the level of the chin.
Oval
Owners of this type of person can experiment with different types of bangs without fear that they may not suit them. Bangs are combined with different types of haircuts and with any hair length.
Hair structure, skin
Other criteria for the selection of haircut frontal strands are the structure of the hair and skin type. Owners of oily skin will have to spend more time on the state of bangs, as due to the effects of sebum the hair will be more quickly polluted.
The haircut technique depends on the hair structure. Thin hair is preferably not treated with thinning scissors or a razor. You must perform a straight cut, graduation, or poiting - a point cut.
For such a structure, it is necessary to preserve the natural thickness of the hair. The depth of the bang zone may be maximum and go to the crown.
Thick hair will survive all kinds of haircuts, but preference should be given to thinning techniques to remove excess density and give bangs greater mobility, keeping its shape.To create creative options thick hair is an excellent material, their thickness can withstand torn and asymmetrical forms.
When creating bangs, it is not recommended to allocate too wide and deep zone in order to avoid excessive massiveness, which then in no way can be made easier.
How to cut?
Bangs can be cut independently or use the services of a hairdresser. Consider the first case.
To make any option you like bangs at home, you need to use sharp tools: a razor or scissors. The tool must be professional to reduce the risk of damage to the structure of the hair, leading to a cross section of the tips.
The haircut is done on wet or dry hair. The latter method is performed on a prepared base, for example, to obtain the desired length, the hair is pre-drawn by an iron or a hair dryer, while simultaneously setting the desired direction of the future haircut.
Instruments:
- straight and thinning shears;
- comb with fine teeth;
- clamps;
- hair tie (optional);
- towel.
The process of doing the classic bangs cut with a straight cut.
- The first thing you need to select the zone bangs. It can be made in the form of a semicircle or triangle. The width of the bangs should cover the frontal depressions, the lateral places where the hair grows, and form the boundary line of hair growth in the forehead area.
- Having decided on the width and depth of the treated area, loose hair should be fastened with clips or collected using elastic to prevent them from interfering during the shearing process.
- The selected area must be thoroughly wet and wring out with a towel. Strands should be wet, but without flowing drops.
- Comb section in the direction of natural hair growth.
- Determine the point of beginning and end of bangs from either side. Run the notches. Important: wet hair should be trimmed 0.5-1 cm below the desired length. For example, the first strand of bangs in dry form should start from the middle of the forehead, then wet hair is cut at the level of the upper part of the eyebrow. In the process of drying the hair is slightly raised, which can lead to a short bang length than originally planned. Haircut curly hair is made only on a dry basis after styling the selected area!
- It now remains to connect the two points with a straight cut.
- Dry the bangs.
- For dry hair is edging, that is, giving the final shape of a haircut.
If desired, you can perform layering to facilitate the tips or give them a ragged effect. Due to its serrated shape, the scissors will partially cut off the hair, creating the effect of a “stepwise” transition.
The longer the selected area is processed, the more ragged the effect will be in the end.
Tips
Ragged bangs require frequent correction and shape maintenance. With excessive use of thermometers, the tips of the hair will become thin and brittle, in which case the shape correction is carried out every 1-2 weeks. Hair, prone to rapid growth, haircut every 2-3 weeks.
During laying the bangs are dried first, as this zone because of its length and density dries faster than anyone. With prolonged exposure to hot air on a dry base increases the risk of damage to the hair structure.
To highlight the individual strands is to use the laying means of light and medium fixation with a matte or glossy effect.
