Very Short Forward-Falling Hairstyle With Long Bangs


Added: 11 Nov 2010
A great look for the office, a date, or even a night out on the town, this short hairstyle is perfect for those looking to keep their face shape natural and enhance their features, and is also excellent for giving your hair some volume and lift without adding length.

Our model is flaunting this hairstyle with a mole above her upper lips. She wears a nude lipstick shade and has small eyes, making her side swept bangs accentuate her fair skin complexion. For the hair styling technique, this short forward-falling hairstyle has been layer cut into the back and up to the crown. The top and side layers then get longer, and the side-swept bangs make this a dramatic look that works particularly well on longer face shapes. This short 'do works best on medium to thick hair density. You can style this 'do in many different ways by using flat brushes, sponges, or even just your fingers to create some volume at the top of your head. If you want to give yourself more length, pull your hair back into a bun or ponytail before straightening it out later on. This 'do offers versatility to all face shapes and hair types. It can be styled with bangs, wavy or straight with tousled ends, or left natural.

A short hairstyle is always great for summer. It is not too formal and doesn't require much maintenance, so you can easily maintain your style every month or so with regular trims after 4 to 6 weeks.

step 1

Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.


step 2

Using your blow-dryer, dry your hair using your fingers, separating the hair and allowing it to dry at the roots first then the mid lengths and then the ends. Making sure the roots are dry first will ensure that your hairstyle does not fall flat.


step 3

When blow-drying your bangs forward, clip your hair back leaving only your bangs out. Position your bangs evenly in your brush, taking the hair in a forward direction. Blow-dry from roots to ends, keeping the tension consistent, and evenly distribute heat over the whole section of hair that you are working on. Repeat until the hair is dry. This will stop any frizz that may occur.


step 4

Apply moulding cream to your sides using your fingertips and mess the hair in a circular motion, piecing the ends out as you go and as messy as you like. For a softer hold, use only a small amount of moulding cream.


step 5

Apply moulding cream to your fingertips then gently rake through your bangs, sweeping the hair to the left as you go. Be careful not to use too much product as it can become sticky and clumpy.
