Strands descending in soft curtains on the sides of the forehead slim, perfectly mask the disharmony of the face and are suitable for almost everyone. They are appropriate for thick and thin , wavy and straight, fine and coarse hair of any length. By the way, bangs on two sides are one of the most  .
How does double-sided bangs help correct features?
- A wide forehead narrows visually if it is covered by two thick and lush strands, divided into a parted part. It is optimal if they fall below the level of the eyebrows.
- A round face with pronounced cheeks requires bangs that reach at least the chin. This technique greatly adorns the everyday look of Dakota Johnson, despite the fact that her hair is not thick and voluminous.
- Elongated or triangular face (the so-called “heart”), on the other hand, appears softer and rounder if the bangs end at the level of the earlobes.
- Girls with a narrow face a voluminous curtain bang with tips twisted inward is suitable.
- Face type with wide cheekbones (rectangular face) becomes more sophisticated thanks to such bangs, and a vivid example of this is Brigitte Bardot and the image of Jennifer Aniston from the 90s.
- Any curtain bang is suitable for an oval face shape . If you’ve been looking for an easy way to diversify your look, then this option is definitely worth considering.
But for girls with heavy eyelids, deep or close-set eyes, a large nose or small facial features, the front strands cut in this way are contraindicated. In addition, double-sided bangs disadvantageously emphasize the hard line of the lower jaw and a square chin.
If you have noticeably thinning hair, such bangs will make the lack of hair obvious. In this case, it is advisable to consult with your hairdresser before cutting your hair and find a hairstyle suitable for camouflage problems together.

It is very easy to bring standard double-sided bangs into a presentable look in the morning, and the styling process will take no more time than breakfast.
Here’s how to do it correctly:
- Apply two to three peas of mousse to the front strands for volume to suit both the root zone and to create tight curls along the length ( Matrix High Amplify Foam Volumizer does a great job of both ).
- Part bangs in a straight part using a comb with a rod.
- Curl the left section with a brush and hair dryer, pulling it slightly up and towards the left temple. Finish styling with a cold blow dryer.
- Repeat the same steps for the right side of your hair.
- Spread the bangs out slightly with your fingers. If necessary, apply a light hold spray to avoid unnecessary weight.
Long slanting bangs will be clearer if you apply a drop of styling gel to it. To prevent it from looking flat, you can comb it lightly at the roots. Comb that part of the hair that remains in the minority on the other side of the face behind the ear, also using the fixing gel.
If the hairstyle requires a smooth double-sided bangs, you cannot do without a root pile on the inside of the strands. Then use a flat iron to run through your hair, curling the ends slightly inward.
