Big, bold and blunt, thin and wispy, long and side-swept – bangs are back  on trend this hair season.

Roy Teeluck, hairdresser to the stars, says, “bangs are a great way to refresh the face and can make you look younger, sexier, and more sophisticated.”

Of course there are several variations of bang cut and style which should be customized according to face shape as well as hair type, texture and overall length.

The celebrity hairstylist suggests ease of transition when growing out bangs to longer lengths by having a hairstylist add subtle layers to help ease growing pains.

Taylor Swift’s Big Bang Theory

Taylor Swift has naturally curly hair which is not generally compatible with a fringe since ringlets tend to shrink right up.

Best options for a naturally curly haired fringe like Taylors?

1.  Clip-in bangs for special hair events when rest of hair is temporarily straightened.
2.  Long fringe cut so that length extends below chin to allow for actual shrinkage.  Bangs can be worn as long ringlets.
3.  A fringe cut to below eyelash grazing length, but temporarily straightened with balm or cream as well as paddle brush and blow dryer.  When fringe is straight it’s best for all hair to be straight or worn up and off the face.
4.  Chemically relaxed or straightened hair with matching fringe.
