Health and FitnessShort Haircut -- How To Accentuate This Hot Look By Adding Bangs
Short haircuts have never been as exciting as they currently are, if ever in doubt now is the time to make a change. The inspiring news is that you can add bangs to your current short haircut and have a total make over; it really is quite simple.
There are two things to consider before making a change, and these will ensure that the short haircut you choose will be flattering and perfect for you. Firstly you will have to match the haircut with your facial shape and secondly find the correct style for your hair texture. Take a few pictures of possible short haircuts you are considering and discuss different options with your hairstylist.
Short haircuts range from super short to chin level and you can add bangs to any length. There are three different types of bangs; sideway bangs, traditional blunt bangs and baby bangs. With these different options you can basically have a haircut unique to your individual needs and desires.
Sideway bangs are very common and with good reason as they add softness and are very feminine. Kristin Cavallari, Renee Zellweger, Nicole Richie and Victoria Beckham are only a few of many celebrities who have sideway bangs. The length of sideway bangs vary, therefore you can choose a length you are comfortable with. Style your bangs with a round brush, but avoid the puffy look by directing the airflow from your blow-dryer downwards from the roots while using a paddle brush, use a wiper action from left to right repeatedly then sweep them either right or left. For added smoothness use a straightening iron and some shine serum.
The traditional blunt bangs were very popular in the 1920’s and are for the more adventurous ladies out there. These bangs vary in length, but will really draw attention to your eyes when they are cut at brow level. These bangs are rounded at the corners or cut in a straight line. They are easy to style and try a straightening iron to achieve a more polished look. Famous actresses Christina Ricci, Patricia Arquette and Ashley Scott look fantastic with blunt bangs.
Baby bangs open up the face and you can emphasize beautiful facial features. These bangs are cut straight or textured, and are easy to style. Sharon Stone and Alyssa Milano really wear these bangs in style. Use wax or gel to define textured bangs.
