Suitable Bangs for Varied Hair Types
A waterfall fringe isn’t just for one hair type. Believe it or not, “It can be a low maintenance option for all hair textures and thickness,” says Jessica. She also insists that when it comes to bangs, your lifestyle matters. You might not need as much upkeep as you think!
Face Shapes and the Best Bangs Fit
Selecting the apt length for your bangs requires a look at your face shape. If, for instance, you have a strong, square jaw structure, Jessica suggests softer curtain bangs. For an oval face, feel free to experiment with bolder bangs. However, waterfall bangs shine on a heart-shaped or rectangular face.
Styling This Fringe
Jessica recognizes the range of life’s demands. For heat-styling, savvy clients, Jessica recommends a curling iron. Curl it away from your face for a seamless blend. Short on time? Say hello to the mighty Velcro roller. Simply roll your bangs backward and get ready as usual. By the time you’re ready to head out, you’ll also have bangs with a blow-dry effect!
Don’t forget to maintain your style. Jessica calls herself a ‘less is more’ person. Hence, her product picks are the Davines Volu mist for wet hair and Milbon’s No. 7 Hairspray.
