Bouffant Ponytail Bangs

The bangs are sectioned off first, in a shallow triangle taken back about an inch behind the hairline, so they stay out of the hair being backcombed. Left soft rather than blunt, it should land at or just below the brow with feathered ends so it does not read as a wall. The teased crown then rises behind it, and the eye travels bangs, lift, tail. The front section needs washing more often than the rest.

• Suitsoblong, heart, diamond face shapes. The bangs shorten the visible forehead the teased crown would otherwise stretch, covering the width across the top of a heart shape and filling in a narrow diamond brow.
• Hair typefine, medium density, straight, wavy. The front section has to fall forward in one piece without splitting at a cowlick, so straight to loosely wavy hair at fine or medium density behaves best.
• UpkeepThe bangs want a trim every three to four weeks to stay clear of the lashes, plus dry shampoo at the roots most days because it sits against skin.
• Ask forAsk for soft, feathered bangs cut to brow level from a shallow triangular section, kept separate from the backcombed crown behind it.
