The Bangs Are In!
I would say that for over a year now I have been convincing my clients to cut a fringe on their forehead, and now it is definitely a fashion statement! So if you have not already jumped on the "Bang" wagon, now is the time to try some flirty ,fringy bangs!
It's official: Fringe is more fabulous than ever! “Bangs have made a huge comeback in Hollywood,” declares celebrity hairstylist David Babaii, who created bangs for both Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman at this season's award shows. “No matter if you wear your hair down or up, bangs add a style statement of their own.”
Babaii, who also styled Emma Stone for this month’s Glamour, says anyone can pull off a bang, provided the cut suits them. “They can be short, rounded or straight bangs so they fit their face shape.” He recommends having clients try on a wig so they can see what their bangs will look like before the cut—which is exactly what he does with his superstar clientele.
More styling suggestions from Babaii:
• Let bangs grow a bit longer to sweep to one side and clip with a hair accessory
• Create piecey bangs by using a paste to create and define separations
• Use a flat iron and something like Pequi Oil to create a shiny dramatically straight bang
• Texturize bangs to give them a different look
• Use a large round brush to bump the ends under to soften the line
Olivia Wilde's fringe is long, wispy and a bit sexy. It camouflages a high forehead while setting off her eyes.
