TREND: Romantic Bangs (fringes)

Saturday, January 29, 2011
to Read (
Words)
oh oh Hi All :)

Today I wanted to talk about bangs. I've always been a bang person, I don't think I've had a period in my life (well.. after 15 I mean), where I was bangless. I guess it's like my security blanket since I don't have the prettiest forehead and I like to hide it.. -.-

But today I just wanted to talk about bangs. As hair styles come and go, so do trends for bangs. For example, excessive layered hair is so early-2000's, so are straight ironed, vertically-zig-zag-cut sparse bangs. The gossip girl bangs were so 2009, and the heavy straight bangs are one of the things that a lot of people should let go in 2011. Then WHAT IS the trend?
Romantic bangs!! :)
I made a tutorial on it today



(I'm wearing Neo Cosmo Glamour lens in Green in this video)




You know how a lot of people are stubborn about their bangs and like to keep then straight no matter what their hair style is? I think that habit should be tossed.
Check out what's going on in the bang (fringes) world.

- Moderate Curls -

Kumiki of popteen

Jessica (middle) of SNSD

Catherine Zeta Jones

Kumiki again

- A mixture between spiky straightness and curliness -

IU (Korean singer/idol)

Hilary Duff



Tiffany (SNSD - Hoot music video)


- Tighter curls & variations -


Jessica Alba

Kim Tae Hee (Korean Actress)

Angelina Jolie (zomg!!!! love it on her!)

Rachel Mcadams

Sunny (SNSD)



Taeyeon (SNSD)

Sunny again (hoot M/V)

Japanese hair model

Kumiki

Nana (afterschool)


Sooyoung (SNSD)

The only thing you have to be careful is your tools. If you use too thin of a curler this is what will happen.

or this LOL (it's me) - curling failed with a flat iron
I'm wearing Neo Clasmo Glamouru Lens Brown in this picture

So all you need is overgrown bangs and your curling tools. If you want the curls to be subtle, try curling soft curls (very loosely) towards the end. If you want bigger curls (like Angelina Jolie) use a bigger curler/brush. At first it might get frustrating since the styling part is the hardest, but once you get used to it, it will be an easy breezy way of taking care of your awkward bangs :)

Let me know how the curling goes :D

    I wish that I saw your video before I chopped the length of my bangs. Mine naturally waves but it looks so goofy. I do blow dry it curled under but never thought about curling it to neaten it up. Thanks for the video tutorial Catalina!

    Poo! I just got a haircut and got my bangs chopped since they were annoying me to bits. Will have to wait a few months before I can try this. It's adorable!

    This is so interesting! No wonder my hair stylist permed my bangs like that. lol. I got a perm about a month ago and at first I hated how my bangs went to one side like that. Now I know! It's a trend. :D Thanks for the tutorial, Catalina!

    I love the video and the post! It was so helpful. Having bangs can be a stress in one way or the other because after a few weeks they come to a point where the length is very awkward which makes your whole hairstyle look weird. Should definitely try this look! ;)

    @galpal.hi: haha, if you think it looks goofy, try pressing your brush on top of the hair and blow dry on top of it so you can calm your hair down :p thanks for dropping by! :)


    @Zahra: yay!!:D


    @Yoom: thank you! :) haha, I think it generally looks good on anyone - it really softens your looks


    @Wendy: thanks! let me know how it goes :D Oh, I'm wearing NEO cosmo glamour lens in brown in the last picture~


    @Sarah: yay!

    Did you color your hair again? It looks so pretty! If you dyed you hair at home can I ask what color/brand you used?
