Curtain bangs are unavoidable if your Instagram feed is anything like ours. Curtain bangs are undoubtedly one of the hottest hair trends this year, whether it’s due to Gen Z’s preference for the centre part or the sense of effortlessness it radiates. Ironically, although having a seemingly casual appearance, curtain bangs really require maintenance that includes hairstyling and dedicated products to create the ideal look. We completely understand if the upkeep is preventing you from subscribing to the hairstyle; up until we learned about chin bangs, we echoed your sentiment. Chin bangs are a longer, low-maintenance variation that resembles face-framing layers. Discover everything there is to know about chin bangs, including how to style them and why this understated appearance can suit you more than curtain bangs, below.
What Exactly Are Chin Bangs?
Chin bangs, as the name implies, are chin-length bangs that mimic a more grown-up form of curtain bangs. While still providing the same face-framing effect, thickness, and chic character of curtain bangs that we love, the longer length makes them easier to style. On days when you don’t want to style your chin bangs, it also gives you the option to tuck them into a high ponytail or bun.
So, What’s The Distinction Between Layers That Frame The Face And Chin Bangs?
Chin bangs may resemble face-framing layers, but they differ from them in just a few significant ways. As a result of their higher position on the scalp, chin bangs are thicker and denser than face-framing layers. Face-framing layers and chin bangs both help to frame your features, but the latter disappears into the background of your hair, takes away bulk, and adds texture and volume. Consider chin bangs to be a more overt version of face-framing layers.
How Do I Approach My Hairstylist About Chin Bangs?
Ask for grown-out curtain bangs that reach all around the chin area when requesting chin bangs from your stylist. You can still achieve a really appealing look by requesting face-framing layers, but be aware that they won’t provide the same dense cut as chin bangs. A wonderful technique to communicate your vision to your stylist is to show them a picture or a video of the hairstyle goal you want to achieve.
Here’s How To Style Chin Bangs
Chin bangs are appealing due to their ease of upkeep and adaptability. Here are some styling suggestions for this face-framing cut.
Opt For A Volume-Enhancing Shampoo & Conditioner
Starting with a shampoo and conditioner is the first step toward achieving bouncy and volumized strands. To be honest, this hydrating system quenches dry, parched hair and provides considerable bounce, body, and shine thanks to a hyaluronic acid combination, so you don’t have to fear a lifeless, dead style. To give your chin bangs a visible boost in volume for simple, lovely styling, incorporate it into your wash day regimen.
Air Dry Your Chin Bangs
You have two options for styling your chin bangs: either air dry them or use hot tools. Prep your chin bangs with a styling product that helps eliminate frizz, add volume, improve shine, and more if you want to go the low-maintenance route.
Then, pull your chin bangs behind your ears and wait for them to continue drying after they are around 70% done. It’s that simple to give your chin bangs the attractive sweep style that frames your face.
In Case You Want To Blow Dry Your Hair
Take a round brush and a blow dryer, grab your chin bangs, and blow dry them upward while rotating the brush. Continue doing this until your bangs are completely dry, and then secure the look by wrapping your hair around a Velcro roller.
Before removing the Velcro roller, let the hair rest in it for at least 10 minutes to let it cool. The remainder of your hair can be styled now as per your choice while doing your makeup.
