8 Truths You Should Know Before You Get BangsTo fringe or not to fringe, that is the question |
Truth No. 1: Your Stylist Is Your BFF Before getting scissors-happy, seek counsel from your stylist, assuming you know and trust him well. Because even though you might love Zooey Deschanel's fringe, it might not look as adorable on you. You need someone who will be this honest with you.
"Your stylist can tell you what kind of bangs will suit your face shape best," says Townsend. "Fringe is not one size fits all. The goal is to make your face appear as oval as possible."
The absolute best way to determine whether you'll be happy with your new bangs: Try them on first. "If a client says she's considering bangs, I like to pull out some clip-in bang hair pieces," says Townsend. "That way she can see what they will actually look like on her face and there are no surprises."
Call ahead to see if your salon has clip-in bangs at the ready. If they don't, you can find them at beauty supply stores, or head to a bang bar (yes, those exist) to try them on first.
