HAIRCUT IDEAS

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had bangs.

They don’t necessarily work for my hair type (which is bouncy-curly-springy) but I just can’t stop myself because the look — once achieved — is so darn cool.

Summer 2018 is seeing a whole new fresh crop of trending bangs. It’s versatile, and there’s a style for every age! Just look at the range of celebrities who have been making the cut lately: everyone from Bella Hadid (soft, side-swept bangs) to Celine Dion (blunt and blonde). “But wait,” you might be thinking. “Weren’t ‘cool-girl bangs’ one of 2017’s most popular hairstyles? Yes — but the truth is, bangs never really go out of style. It’s a seemingly small investment of time and lost locks, considering that getting bangs can be a total game-changer.

But beware: the look may be easy and breezy, but there’s more to bangs than meets the eye. “Don’t be tempted to do this if you think it’s easy to quickly grow them back and you don’t want to commit,” warns celebrity hairstylist Paul Labrecque of Paul Labrecque Salon and Spa.
