Side bangs, the most practical for those who have never tried it
Fringe yes or fringe no? He comes to the rescue, or rather The side bangs are back, straight from the 2000s Paris Hilton and Cameron Diaz, who made it her forte in Everyone is crazy about Mary.

Who looks good with side bangs
The strong point of this quiff-fringe hybrid is certainly its versatility. If a few years ago it was worn perfectly straightened, today the side fringe has been updated and married different hair cuts and textures, primarily the bob and the lob. And then it adapts to all faces: enhances elongated faces and softens square ones, as well as sharpening the more rounded ones.

How to dry it and comb it
How to manage it on a daily basis? This is important to prevent the fringe from falling flat on the forehead dry it on the opposite side to where you want to take it. Furthermore, the hairdryer must be run from the roots to the ends with the help of a flat and wide brush, while the jet must be directed both above and below. By doing so, volume is given, body and three-dimensionality are given without giving up a natural effect.
However, if you want additional volume, it is better to choose one round brush on which the lock is rolled, with the hairdryer jet always directed from top to bottom.
Can you cut it yourself?
Yes, but it is very complex especially because the most popular side fringes in this period are the parade ones, slightly serrated and XXS, a bit à la Twiggy, consequently it is very difficult to make them without expert hands. The risk of disaster is around the corner.
However, if you want to try cutting it yourself, the first step is to start with dry hair, which is essential if you are just starting out. The hair must be combed so as to bring a section forward and tie the rest back. At this point, the front hair must be rolled up on itself in the center of the eyebrows and with professional scissors, which is essential because this way the hair remains soft.
SI start cutting by placing it between 45°-60° degrees and starting from the top to proceed diagonally downwards. Then, you can remove the lock further to create a slight layering. But we advised you against it. Trying it in expert hands, however, is an excellent idea.
