To achieve the ideal "eight-character" bangs, the first requirement is mastering the baseline length. These bangs typically extend from the outer corner of the eye to the jawline. Too short, and they lose the flattering "eight-character" curve; too long, and they may lower the overall proportions. It's recommended to adjust the length slightly based on your face shape to find the most suitable length. Furthermore, observing your natural hair flow before cutting is crucial. Which side the hair flows to will affect the parting and volume of the bangs; be sure to adjust accordingly during the cut.
The magic of the middle part and the width and thickness of the bangs: creating the most suitable eight-character proportions
Whether you opt for a center part or a side part, as long as you combine it with the right width and thickness of your bangs, you can create the ideal V-shaped curve. The width of the V-shaped bangs refers to the extent of the C-curve on both sides:
• Narrow C-shaped bangs: Suitable for those with narrow faces, drawing attention to the face.
• Wide C-shaped bangs: Suitable for those with wide foreheads and high cheekbones, softening facial contours.
• Natural C-shaped bangs: Not overly emphasizing the curve, more casual and suitable for everyday wear.
In terms of thickness, thin bangs create a light and airy feel, suitable for spring and summer; thick bangs add presence and volume, suitable for autumn and winter or a retro style. Finding the right width and thickness ratio is the key to creating successful curtain bangs.
