Oblique fringe has not gone out of fashion for several years. This is not surprising: it fits many face types, looks elegant, easy to care for, and frequent adjustment is usually not required. To make such a bang, it is better to contact a hairdresser. However, if this is not possible or if you want to put your hand in creating your own haircut, then you can arm yourself with scissors yourself.
How to make a slanting bang so that it looks beautiful, we will tell further.
Features oblique bangs
Oblique bangs can be both short and long. It is selected primarily according to the shape of the face and hairstyle in general. For example, a torn oblique fringe may not be suitable for an even, literally conservative square, simply because of the absurdity of the combination. Long bangs are perfect for long curly hair, since it creates the effect of a certain extension of the hair, but a short one will look mediocre with such hair.
Many people think that you can slightly grow a straight bang, comb its set - and the slanting bangs are ready. Yes, there will be a slanting bang, but it’s beautiful and neat - it’s unlikely, since there is a lot of hair, they will surely be knocked together, and this will be noticeable. Also, oblique bangs usually do not differ in such incredible density as would be obtained when combing straight on their sides. In addition, you will probably have to use hair fixing agents - varnish, spray, mousse, because the hair is unlikely to obediently lie as you have laid them. They are already used to another form. An abundance of fixative will give the effect of oily hair.
Therefore, it’s better to decide which bangs you want - straight or oblique, and not make one and think that you have “two in one”.
By the way, in comparison with a straight bang, oblique has a huge advantage: it does not need to be adjusted so often. This is due to the fact that she will not look messy if her length exceeds one or two centimeters due to the fact that you did not have time to go to the hairdresser. However, the exact size depends on the type of oblique bangs. In the case of the direct situation, the situation is different: as soon as she begins to get into her eyes, it is time to cut her hair, otherwise it is not only inconvenient, but also ugly.
How to style oblique bangs
It is not enough just to cut the oblique bangs, you still need to learn how to style it correctly. If the oblique bangs are very short, then their styling is usually easy: with a hairdryer and a suitable comb. Sometimes you can use an iron with narrow plates.
But for a long bang, an iron can be a truly suitable tool. Strands straightened with its help lie evenly and smoothly, have a beautiful glossy shine. If desired, twist the ends slightly inward.
And if the oblique fringe is so long that it actually enters the bulk of the hair, then you can use both an iron and a hairdryer with a comb, depending on the desired result. The effect will be equally charming.
It is also important not to forget to correct the bangs in time: to cut when it grows enough. This can be done independently, or you can contact the master, however, self-correction is not as simple a process as it seems at first glance.
How to separate a bang zone
Before you start cutting, you need to determine exactly where the bangs will be, and also remove the bulk of the hair away from the place of work with scissors. To separate the zone of the future bangs, one of the following methods is usually used:
- A parting resembling the letter P. In this case, the line will be flat, and the bangs will fall evenly. This type of parting is not suitable for girls with a round face.
- Triangular. In this case, the bangs will have a kind of "top".
When the areas of the future bangs are separated, the remaining hair needs to be collected in a ponytail or secured with hairpins, invisible or hairdressing clips. So they will not accidentally fall under the scissors.
The length of the oblique bangs can be any. Before cutting, you need to slightly moisten the bangs, but if you cut your hair for the first time yourself, you can skip this step so as not to make mistakes. Beginners are better off working with clean, dry hair.
Be sure to comb the bangs well and comb them periodically during the haircut so that it turns out to be neat as a result.
From straight bangs to oblique
To understand how to make a slanting bang at home, if you already have a straight line, just look at it more carefully. You are lucky: the bang line is already there, you can not change it. Just change the angle. You can wait until the straight bangs grow enough to experiment with it, or you can cut immediately based on the one that is, but this is risky.
So, how to make an oblique from a straight bang:
- Determine which side the bangs will fall on.
- If it is long enough, then place the scissors at an angle of 45 degrees to the hair and begin to cut. The beginning of the oblique bangs should be near the eyebrow.
- Cut a little in order to have time to adjust the bangs in time.
- If the straight bang is short, and the oblique you want is also short, then keep in mind that this is difficult to do. But if you take a chance, then the principle of action is the same, however, begin to cut not from an eyebrow, but higher.
Haircut long oblique bangs yourself
Let's talk about how to make a slanting bang, if before that you had none at all. The option to make a long bang is the best for a beginning hairdresser, as the practice of many girls has shown that it is the easiest to do. The algorithm of actions is the same as described in the previous section, but first you need to properly separate the bang zone, otherwise, even if perfectly trimmed, it will have a rather unpleasant appearance.
About how to make a slanting bang, photos from different magazines, newspapers and the Internet can tell much better. Take a good look at the illustrations before starting the haircut, but keep in mind that the pattern is slightly different from the final result.
How to make a slanting ragged bang
As an example, let's talk about the original method of cutting an oblique ragged bangs. The result will be unpredictable, but in most cases beautiful.
- Separate the bangs, comb the hair.
- Twist them into a lightweight, lightweight tourniquet. The tourniquet should be located approximately where the bang, in theory, should end.
- Cut off excess hair with scissors. When you release the tourniquet, it will untwist, and you will see that you have obtained an oblique asymmetric bang.
This method involves either the effect of surprise (attention: you may not like it!), Or preliminary training on volunteers or special hairdressing mannequins. The final result depends on how exactly you twisted the tourniquet, how it was held and many other factors. You can also try to cut the bangs on yourself, but with a margin so that you can adjust if necessary.
Torn bangs: long but thoughtful
You can make a slanting bang not only in the form of a surprise, but also so that it is clear what exactly will turn out. You can get the effect of torn strands with the right actions with scissors.
Cut the oblique bangs to the length you need. Then place the scissor blades parallel to the hair growth (in other words, almost vertically) and with sharp movements go through the bangs. The main thing is not to overdo it. Since with such movements you cut off part of the hair, and if you cut off too much, you will become the owner of not a ragged, but a bald bang.
Now you know how to make a slanting bang yourself. Nevertheless, preliminary training will not hurt.
DIY haircut tips
To make a slanting bang on your own, you need to follow these recommendations:
- Use only high-quality scissors, ideally - professional. If you do not have them, it is better to purchase, especially if you plan to adjust the bangs in the future yourself.
- If you wet your hair before cutting, then consider that you need to leave the length a little longer than it seems at first glance. When drying, the hair will “bounce” a little, therefore, dry bangs will be shorter than wet ones.
- Trim your hair so that you can correct your mistakes. There must be a certain margin.
- Separate only the bangs, collect the remaining hair in a ponytail or fix it with clips so that it does not fall under the scissors.
- The room where you cut your hair should have excellent lighting, and you should have a great large mirror.
- Since making a long oblique bang is beautifully very difficult on your own, it is recommended to resort to an independent haircut only in exceptional cases. Or if you really know how to cut. But it should be remembered that the process of cutting hair on yourself is different from cutting others.
