Let's look at several fashion trends when creating hairstyles, while focusing on the elongated strands.

• Romantic retro look - we will get such an effect if we create an unusual thermo-wound made on long strands over our forehead. To do this, the strands must be dried using a large brushing or curler and lay on one side, securing with a strong lacquer.

• Parting - separation of strands of hair with bangs can be performed strictly in the middle relative to the center of the forehead, or the parting can be shifted to the right or left. The essence of laying is that the strands are arranged in an even and smooth layer on each side of the parting. And these strands can be fastened in the form of a hoop on the back of the head or left in free hanging. There is another option - part of the strands fasten with a barrette at the temple.

• Weaving - long locks above the forehead can be braided in the form of a braid, while using strands from the occipital as well as the temporal regions. Spit can be sent in any direction and start from the temple. To perform such weaving, the length of the hair of the bangs must be no less than the length of the head circumference - only in this case the hairstyle will look as natural and effective as possible. This type of laying in recent times quite popular with young people.

• Straightening - This method of laying is performed by pulling the strands with a brush and hair dryer. The hair is taken away from the face to the side and the tips are either curled outside or tied inside. Especially beautiful this method of styling looks on beveled bangs, and this hairstyle looks very elegant and natural.

• Laying on two sides - This is the most common and simple way of laying long strands located near the face. The hair is pulled with a hairdryer or iron, then lightly combed in the root zone and divided into parting by hand. The view must be deliberately careless, and the hair at the same time create a flying effect.

• Scarf or shawl - This method is quite easy to implement.You will need a ribbon or handkerchief that can be color-matched with your basic outfit and complement it. When laying, we gently comb the strands from the forehead to the side, and then we tie a scarf over the head over the hair. The knot can be hidden under the hair from behind or, on the contrary, to tie it on the forehead in the form of a bow. There are many variations you can think of, but the essence is the same - to remove all long strands under a wide ribbon.

In order to more easily cope with the installation, experts advise to adhere to several important principles.

• It is much easier to dry and straighten in the right direction strands of hair, you can use a slit nozzle for a hair dryer. In this case, the dryer itself must have high power and have at least 3 modes of temperature switching.
• When drying hair, hot air is used, but in order to preserve the hairstyle, the hair must be cooled in a cold mode of operation of the hair dryer.
• Careful use of styling tools - with their excess hair will look stale and poorly resist styling.
• Keep track of the quality of your hair - regularly remove split ends and use moisturizing and nourishing masks. Only on beautiful and healthy hair styling looks the most advantageous.

Today, hair with long strands are more relevant than ever. A variety of accessories and all kinds of styling tools helps to create almost any stylistic image you have planned.

As a rule, any woman loves frequent changes in appearance, and almost every one at least once in her life had a question about how to cut her own bangs, so as not to change the whole hairstyle. In fact, this is quite doable and not so difficult if you know how to get down to business.

So, let's start forming our elongated bangs.

• Comb your hair and identify those strands above your forehead that you are going to cut.
• The rest of the hair should be moved to the back of the head and secured with hair clips.
• That part of the hair that you have planned for haircuts, you need to divide in the horizontal direction into 2 equal parts, while the upper part needs to be fixed with a clip and pulled up - now we do not need it yet.
• The rest of the hair will need to be firmly taken between the fingers to get a flat cloth and pull them down towards you.
• You already know how long the strands are, so it is at this distance from your forehead that you make the first cut. Hair should be cut off smoothly throughout the web of strands between fingers. It is desirable to do this in one clear and correct movement.
• Now we need the second part of the hair, which we temporarily fastened and pushed up. With it, we will do the same - stretch it down towards ourselves and fasten it between the fingers of the left hand.
• It is necessary to make a second horizontal cut at the same distance from the forehead as in the formation of the first part of the bang.
• Now you need to comb the strands and, if necessary, align the existing flaws, as well as correct the loose individual hairs.

That's all - this is where the whole process ends. If you want to make cuts more fluffy, pick up a special hairdressing scissors for thinning and process the tips of the strands to about 1-2 centimeters in height. The milled strand looks more lightweight, and visually it creates the effect of additional volume.

Now trimmed strands need to be laid so that they do not fall into the eyes and do not interfere. For this we need styling tools, a round brush and a hairdryer.

• Apply styling product to clean and damp hair.
• Again we divide the bang into two vertical parts, and we fix the upper part with a clip, and with the rest we start the work.
• By installing the dryer for hot drying. We wind the hair on a large round brush and carefully dry each strand. At the same time, we pull the hair down, and slightly twist the ends of the strands inside.
• Only after we have thoroughly dried the first part of the strands, proceed to drying the second part. It is done in the same way as in the first case.

If you want to direct the entire volume of strands on its side, then this can be done in two ways.

• The first way. The whole mass of strands is treated with styling agent, made parting partly, and then dried with a hair dryer, directing the strands in the direction you need. In the process of drying the tips are twisted inside. Then you need to go through the strands with cold air and cool them in order to preserve the shape of the hairstyle as long as possible. A medium or high fix hair spray will help fix it.

• The second way. Strands bangs abundantly treated with a special styling gel, and comb the whole mass of hair in the right direction. Now the strands can be dried with a hairdryer and secured with a hairpin near the temple. If desired, the hair ends can be curled, then the hairstyle will be solemn and romantic.
