To part your hair for bangs, create a triangular section starting from the apex (highest point) of your head down to the recession points near the outer ends of your eyebrows, then split that section in half.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Steps for Parting Your Hair for Bangs
-
Identify the Apex: The apex is the highest point on your head. You can usually find it by feeling for where your head naturally curves.
-
Create a Triangular Section: Imagine a triangle starting at the apex and extending downwards and outwards. The two bottom points of this triangle should ideally be around the recession points, which are approximately at the outer ends of your eyebrows. Use a comb to create clean, defined lines for this triangle. The size of this triangle will dictate the thickness of your bangs.
-
Isolate the Section: Comb the hair outside of the triangle away from your face and secure it.
-
Split the Section: Using your comb, divide the triangular section in half, creating two equal sections that will form the left and right sides of your bangs. This step ensures your bangs are symmetrical.
Important Considerations:
- Bang Style: The specific parting technique can vary depending on the desired style of bangs. For example, side-swept bangs might require a slightly angled part. For curtain bangs the triangle might be wider or shallower.
- Hair Texture: The thickness and texture of your hair will influence how your bangs fall. Fine hair might require a smaller triangular section to avoid thin-looking bangs. Thick hair might require a larger section.
- Personal Preference: Ultimately, the best parting for your bangs will depend on your face shape and personal preferences. Experiment with different partings to find what looks best on you.
- Professional Help: If you're unsure, it's always a good idea to consult with a hairstylist. They can help you determine the best parting for your bangs based on your individual features and hair type.
