Messy Bun Split Bangs

The bangs are the real commitment here: cut from around brow length at the inner edge out to cheekbone length at the outer, thinned where it parts so there is no hard line down the middle. With everything else pinned up, those two pieces carry the entire front of the look and need a round brush or a blast of cold air to hold their sweep. Grown out, they simply merge back into the face-framing layers.

• Suitsoval, round, heart, oblong face shapes. Splitting the bangs lays two diagonals across the forehead, which shortens the visible run of an oblong face and narrows the upper third on a round or heart one.
• Hair typefine, medium density, straight, wavy. Straight to loosely wavy hair lets the split fall open on its own, while tight curl pushes the bangs up and away from the cheek instead of along it.
• UpkeepBang trims every four to six weeks, since half an inch of growth drops them into your eyes, and most mornings need thirty seconds of heat on the front alone.
• Ask forAsk for curtain bangs cut on a soft diagonal from just below the brow to the cheekbone, with the center point left longest so the two halves separate by themselves.
