Maybe you're thinking about trying a new hairstyle and cutting your bangs. Or, you just meant to trim your bangs, but the result wasn't what you expected. It could be that the mistake was made by a professional hair stylist due to a misunderstanding. Whatever the circumstances behind this ugly bangs disaster, you need to get over it right away. In the midst of panic, trust that you have more options than you think.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Choosing a Hairstyle to Disguise Ugly Bangs
Step 1. Try making deep side slits
If you have thick, stiff or curly hair, wet your hair first to make it easier to style. Comb your hair to the left or right to see which one suits you best.
Step 2. Draw a parting line on your favorite side
Use a comb or hairbrush to make a neat part on the sides of your head. If your hair is wet, do a dry process after creating the part to maintain it. At this stage the bangs have been combed to the side and cannot be distinguished from the rest of the hair.
Step 3. Create a pompadour style with long bangs
Take the bangs, then sasak upwards. By brushing it, the bangs will lift and look more voluminous while creating a complicated hairstyle. Use hairspray or hair gel so that the bangs don't limp and make the appearance less attractive.
Use short tweezers to keep the pompadour in shape. With the help of a few properly-fitted tongs, you can maintain your pompadour style all day long
Step 4. Twist the bangs short, then pin
Splitting your bangs into strands, then twisting them and pinning the ends to the side or back of your head can hide ugly bangs for a classic look.
Step 5. Braid the bangs
Make a part in the middle of your head, then take your hair from one side to braid it with the bangs. Tie the braid with rubber. Continue braiding the hair on the other side in the same way. When you're done, pin the braids so they don't interfere or tie them together with an elastic behind your head.
Short bobby pins are perfect for holding strands loose from braids and for handling shorter hair
Step 6. Try extreme hairstyles or do hair coloring
Wrongly cut bangs can be the perfect excuse to break free from boring everyday hairstyles. Consider a Mohawk style or try a pixie cut. Luxurious dark colors can disguise a bad cut bangs well.
Method 2 of 3: Considering Headgear
Step 1. Choose a headgear that matches the shape of your face and head
A hat that makes your face and head look symmetrical and balanced can enhance your appearance. If you have prominent facial features, the right hat can provide harmony.
- A long face will look attractive with a wide-brimmed hat that is worn covering most of the forehead.
- A round face will look balanced with a headgear that has an angle. The natural symmetry of a round face can be matched by an asymmetrical hat.
- Firm lines on a square face will look softer with a wide-brimmed hat and rounded top.
- Small faces should be shown for what they are by choosing a fitted hat with a smaller brim.
Step 2. Wear a headband to pull the bangs back
Choose accessories that have cute or elegant embellishments to enhance the look and distract from the bangs. Headbands, ribbons, and bobby pins worn the right way can make ugly bangs out of sight.
Step 3. Put on a baseball cap
Pair the hat with a ponytail for a sporty look, or wear a bandana to cover and hide embarrassing bangs.
Step 4. Consider wearing a headscarf or turban
Choose light, colorful materials to provoke comments about your bold fashion choices, instead of ugly bangs.
Step 5. Wear a thin beanie in hot weather or a thicker beanie in cold weather
The beanie is perfect for covering hair and hiding it. The beanie trend makes it easy for you to choose from a variety of styles and colors on offer!
Step 6. Keep your body warm and cover your bangs with a bobble cap or knit hat
The soft balls that adorn the top of the hat can give you a cool retro-chic look.
Step 7. Bring out your inner 20s with a cloche hat
This bell-shaped, head-fitting hat was very popular in the 1920s. Wearing this type of hat can replace your shyness with a classy and elegant style from the past.
Step 8. Re-popularize the classy hair net, otherwise known as snood
Often hair nets are associated only with the food service industry, but sequined hair nets can attract attention in a positive way.
Step 9. Tuck the bangs under the brim of the doll's hat or half hat
Doll hats are effective at dealing with the problem of ugly bangs because the reduced design requires you to wear them towards the front of your head so they can disguise the bangs.
Method 3 of 3: Restoring a Positive Attitude to Dealing With Problems
Step 1. Control yourself so that the situation does not turn into a disaster
Maybe you have to attend a wedding, prom, or other special occasion and you want to look your best. However, remember that your value is not determined solely by appearance. A proactive mindset will help you take positive steps to deal with situations related to your hair problem.
Step 2. Consult a hair stylist
Some salons offer haircut repair services and do not charge full price. If the bangs were wronged by the hairdresser, you can even demand a refund.
Even if you don't get a refund or a special price, ask if there's anything you can do to fix or deal with the bangs problem
Step 3. Look for pictures of the ugliest haircuts on the internet
While this step won't fix your ugly bangs, laughing at the "uglier" haircuts can be therapeutic and make you look at the situation in a better light, and that's probably what you need to fix those ugly bangs.
Invite a friend to accompany you. That way, you have an ally who understands how you feel. Laughing together can protect you from psychological pain
Step 4. Prepare humorous responses to social situations
Making a plan can reduce stress, and preparing what you'll say if someone comments on your bangs can put you in a better position. Here are some examples:
- “I purposely cut my bangs drastically to accentuate my face shape. How do I look?"
- "I said I wanted a 'short' hairstyle, but my stylist thought it was a 'short' hairstyle."
- “I want to try something different. My hairdresser agreed. But, it seems that what he thinks is 'different' is the same as 'ugly' in my opinion."
Step 5. Be careful not to get defensive
You may be dealing with this situation so emotionally that you will respond to other people's comments as criticism, even though it is actually a compliment. Don't let bad bangs ruin your relationship or keep you from thinking clearly to find a solution.
Tips
- Remember that wet hair will shrink as it dries. So, adjust the haircut to this condition. As a rule of thumb, cut your bangs about 1.5 cm longer than they were when they were dry.
- Use sharp scissors when trimming your bangs as blunt scissors will be difficult for you and can damage your hair.
- When going to the salon, bring a picture of the hairstyle you want.
- Leave the bangs long enough that you can pin them back in an emergency.
- Pin the bangs to the side. After that, you can style your hair in a suitable style, until the bangs return to normal.
- Act stupid. That way, people will think you did it on purpose. Think of it as a new model, maybe they will copy it.
