Trim Blunt Bangs for a Layered Hairstyle That Adds Volume

Introduction To Trim Blunt Bangs

Trim Blunt Bangs are an all-year-round staple that range from being trendy to being a classic practically embedded in the public consciousness. If women have layered hair, the right style of bangs should be trimmed, which will add a more appropriate beauty to the hairstyle. Blunt-cut bangs pair beautifully with long layers, providing the best of both worlds: One hairstyle is classic face elongating fringe and spacious body and volume. This guide will help you understand everything there is to see about blunt bangs, how to choose the right one for your face shape and hair type, how to cut and style the bangs in order to achieve that edgy chic look.

How to Determine if Trim Blunt Bangs Will Suit Your Face Cut

Picking the right bangs to accentuate one’s features is as much about an individual’s bone structure as it possibly can be. Here are some helpful tips for picking Trim Blunt Bangs based on your face shape:

Round Face Shapes

Blunt bangs at brow level or slightly longer are easy compliments to round faces, the soft angles of blunt banging gradually smoother facial contours

Avoid short, straight fringes because if you have a round face these will only magnify it more.

Square and Heart Face Shapes 

  • This is to help reduce sharp angles such as square jaw lines and wide foreheads by having your haircut to eyebrows level straight across.
  • Give extra width to long, pointed faces with cheekbone or lip-nuzzling blunt bangs  

Diamond and Oblong Face Shapes

  • The choppy layered bangs cut at brow level are ideal for girls with a slim low jawline or elongated face. 
  • Do not get bangs that fall directly at the level of the cheekbones for it makes an oblong face even longer.

Oval Face Shapes  

  • An oval shaped face allows for playing around with straight-cut brows, cheekbones, or even eyebrow-level bangs.
  • Angular hairline created side-swept bangs across the forehead to augment this naturally punky equilibrium.

How Your Hair Type Affects Styling Trim Blunt Bangs

Aside from the bone structure, the hair thickness, hair texture, and hair wave pattern all play an important role in blunt bangs’ appearance and behavior.  

Ordinary Hair Types: Coarse, Thick, or Curly

The ladies with much volume and texturized hair generously can slick fuller and blunter fringe that can sustain styling much more effectively. Apply pomades, creams, or heat tools if you desire to control additional volume or frizz around the hairline.

Fine or Thin Hair Types  

Soft or silky hair, hair with frizz, or extremely delicate hair may be better off with side swept bangs as these may just as well look good but they require less maintenance as opposed to full bangs. So, for example, use too much of the volumizing or texturizing spray or products to achieve it with a lesser density.  

Straight Hair Types 

When left stuck straight blunt bangs are great with straight hair since the fringe integrates with the lengths. Hold the weight of your lengths to stop bangs from sprouting every time between washing.  

Wavy or Wavy Hair Types

Blunt fringe is highly wearable and can look stunning on women with wavy hair, do not attempt to fight your texture. Allow waves to cascade freely over bangs as the hair is light to pass through to bounce. To get more volume, the speaker can turn the diffuser upside down.

How to Trim Blunt Bangs at Home 

I opted to cut my bangs to avoid going through a lot of pain and money in the salon. Whenever you want to shape your hair or cut your bangs, you can do it yourself without spending much. Follow these step-by-step instructions:

Step 1: Wash Your Hair, Blow Dry Your Hair and Straighten Your Hair

Begin with your hair well washed and dried, I don’t recommend washing it immediately before. Blow dry locks take on this unnatural look of sticking straight if one uses a paddle brush. Lastly, style by using a flat iron iron in cases where there are kinks or waves remaining. This makes it possible to make the most accurate cuts possible.  

Step 2: Section Off Your Fringe Area 

Take an inch-wide strip of hair across your forehead starting from the crown to slightly beyond the temple. Clip back all other hair. A ridge of low side fringe in two portions.

Step 3: Cut Below Your Ideal Length 

Bangs simply fall straight down at the desired length level, cheekbone, etc. Cut the hair straight on the scalp with the scissors placed perpendicular to it, for your preferred length then trim 1/4 inch additional length.

Step 4. Trim to Final Dimension in Gradual Steps 

Gather fringe back down and sweep over the top of the area with mini scissors to remove any loosely attached hairs, then work the way up from there to the desired cut. No over-the-course reductions should be greater than 1/8 of an inch.

Step 5: Texturize Ends

That said, once the fringe is the perfect length, texturize the ends with vertical snips to avoid sharp angles and to let the ends mix it up with the layers. Avoid over-thinning. 

Step 6: Style as Usual 

To unclip layers and style bangs, they may be put behind the ear, styled on the side, or straight and voluminous. Then add any other additional products that may be needed for volumizing or smoothing hair.

The key to styling hair yourself is another big issue when dealing with bangs that are as fresh as a blunt fringe. Follow these simple tips:  

Round Brush Blowouts

  • For sectioning dry bangs, brush them straight down and under as dry lengths away from the face when drying. 
  • Keep the nozzle of your dryer over the fringe ends to close up any flips.

Air Drying

  • Because bangs should naturally fall forward, trim long layers up and back, as your hair air dries to set in place after the moisture is gone.  
  • Bangs look different wet and should be left alone until they dry dry bangs mean do not disturb the hair until thoroughly dry is advice I have embraced over time.

Flat Ironing 

  • When flat ironing the section bangs off and smooths down first with even passes to frame the face sleekly.
  • Before using hot tools on the hair, it’s good to spray hair with a little heat protectant spray so that it will not be so damaged.

Volume Tricks

  • To add more texture to the root area, the crown is appropriately clipped upward, and the bangs are left to dry naturally to create slight layering.
  • Flip your head upside down while diffusing for lots of bombshell height and body.

Tips when Growing out Your Trim Blunt Bangs Fringe

Annual blunt bangs are quite easy to maintain if trimmed right, but the period when you decide to grow them out can be quite embarrassing. Use these tips to transition your fringe seamlessly:  

Trim Up For Normal Periods

  • Trim them every 3 weeks to make them sharp as your bangs gradually grow out.
  • They should have their stylist texturize as well as angle longer fringe pieces towards the head for a scaled look. 

Change Up Your Part 

  • Bangs longer than the brow length require a gradual, side shift of the part line.  
  • Long fringe combined with the upper section of hair can be done attractively when having a deep side part.

Styling Products: Use them as often as you can  

  • A volumizing mousse, root boost sprays, texturizing dust, and dry shampoos aid in disguising oily or ‘flat’ growth. 
  • Many shorter hairstyles look fine, binned or clipped back, and keep bangs out of the face while short.

How to Look pale and attain the coveted fringe above the face 

  • If bangs get to the chin or lip length, let your stylist cut longer face pieces instead.
  • This way, blur the division that separates bangs from the length for an elongated effect.

FAQs

Is blunt fringing more difficult to tame than side fringe?

Yes, blunt full bangs do take a little work each day to have them lie flat because they cannot be tucked behind ears and cannot be pinned back. Make sure that you are willing and able to blow dry and straighten or curl your hair for that ‘finish’ look.

How often does one require a blunt bangs trim?  

Bangs are something you can grow out so make sure to sharpen up every 2-3 weeks to maintain the crisp bluntness of the haircut. Anything more than that and the ends begin to spread out unevenly before it transitions to the layers. Talk to your stylist and request for texturized tips.  

On which face shapes are blunt bangs least efficient?

The best example of low upkeep hairstyles; is extremely short, poker straight bangs are not the best length if you have round or square faces. Having a softer side fringe is much more suitable.
