Bangs for the Winter

I have been asked by many clients recently, 'What do you think of bangs?".  I have to admit that I love bangs of all shapes and sizes.  Then someone asked me,"Why don't you have bangs?".  I also have to admit that I don't want to HAVE to deal with styling them daily.  My hair is naturally overly curly and I don't want to have to use heat on them everyday to maintain them.  Now, there are many products on the market to help keep the hair smooth and shiny and protected by the heat styling.  There are also more permanent options to keep those bangs under control like permanent waving, keratin smoothing and maybe even a relaxer.  

I have a question the is commonly asked by people in my chair, "What style of bangs fit my face?".  I always tell my clients if they have a style in mind, that is a great start.  There is no way I will tell someone a style will not LOOK GOOD on YOU.  Who am I to say that?!  I am a stylist and I have an eye for what looks good.  But, I don't make rules!  If you want something why should I be the one to say, "NO, You can't do that!".  That's not my job or the right.  I can only educate someone and show someone that there are many options to choose from.  There is only one way for me to know that I may or may not look amazing with a bob haircut.  I have tried that once before and I can say that I will never do it again.  Great haircut, but that looked crazy on my big head.  I don't think we should be too afraid to try something new.  Especially, if the change will grow out in a months time.  

Just a thought, why do some guys hate bangs? I never understood that, and I hear it a lot!  Some bangs in my opinion are super sexy!  Yes, there are some people who can rock any style and look amazing.  However, bangs are very versatile with the choice in length, fullness, texture and color!
If you have the urge to try a new style and you don't really want to change the length of your overall haircut, have your stylist cut some side bangs that suit you.
