If you don't want to visit the salon that often, you can learn to trim your own bangs at home. Bangs at the jawline should get a trim at the four-week mark. Trim every three weeks for bangs at eye and cheek level. Montoya suggests trimming every two weeks for bangs above the eyebrow. ✔️ Get trims: Bangs tend to grow out pretty fast, so keep your preferred shape and get rid of split ends with regular trims. Invest in a heat protectant, a fantastic solution to combat this issue, as well as to seal in moisture, control frizz, fight humidity and help hold the style in place. ✔️ Keep heat protectant handy: 'The only issue with blowout brushes is that they can have very high temperatures, causing breakage,' she says. ✔️ Fluff fringe with a hair dryer: Kendall styles her clients' bangs with the Dyson Airwrap (for a more affordable option, try the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer). Here are some of the b est types of bangs to show your hairstylist as inspiration this year:

Oval-shaped faces can pull off just about any type of bang.

Round faces can get added dimension from side-swept or curtain bangs.

Oblong face shapes are a perfect match for blunt-cut bangs.

Square or heart-shaped faces look best with wispier, feathered fringe to add softness.

We're here to tell you that, in fact, bangs can look good on everyone, but if you want to make sure your fringe doesn't turn out to be a disaster, you want to keep your face shape in mind:

'They are generally worn at four different points on the face: above the brows, at eye level, at cheekbone level and at the jawline.' 'Bangs can be a chic and stylish way to compliment your face shape and have a similar effect to contour in makeup when it comes to hair styling,' according to Los Angeles-based hairstylist Anthony Montoya. In reality, there are so many different haircuts with bangs out there to flatter every type of hair length and texture.

The problem is, when you say 'bangs,' a lot of people's minds go right to thick, cut-straight-across fringe with no definition or shape. Depending on who you ask, bangs are either an amazing idea or a terrible idea.
