If you follow beauty trends, you know that bangs are on point. Autumn is the perfect season to adopt it: you sweat much less from the forehead than in summer and this hairstyle will therefore be easier to tame and maintain on a daily basis. Curtain bangs, short, long, straight or even degraded, there are as many shapes as there are women! But today, the editorial staff is interested in one form in particular: the degraded fringe. Do you want to adopt it without knowing where to start? Here is our little guide...
Layered bangs: for which face?
If you have trouble telling the difference between layered bangs and tapered bangs, know that it's completely normal! Before going to your hairdresser, you might as well know exactly what a layered fringe consists of. This is a cut from which longer strands of hair stand out. The gradient can be adopted on short bangs as well as long, straight or on the side. A real all-rounder!

Another real asset of the degraded fringe: it adapts to all faces! And this, thanks to the longer locks that delicately frame the face. By pushing little by little, these long locks will even end up blending completely into your lengths. We find this phenomenon particularly with the curtain fringe to which we devoted an article. Inspired by the 70s, it was already Brigitte Bardot's hair signature. Today, it is worn on all heads, all styles and on any occasion! Note that we like it rather long, layered, both voluminous and light for a very successful retro chic look.
As we told you a little above, the degraded fringe adapts to all faces. But also for all hair types, whether fine or thick. His secret? It is rather easy to style and does not require a visit to the hairdresser every week. We also advise you not to taper it yourself, as this requires a scissor and specific know-how.

However, if you absolutely want to do it at home, do your cut on dry hair. You view the final result live and can make the necessary changes as needed. Start by tying your hair, leaving only the front strands that will be used to make your layered bangs. Then start cutting the wick with the staking technique. We advise you to watch a tutorial like this:
How to maintain and style a degraded fringe?
Generally speaking, you can dry your layered bangs with a round brush and a hair dryer for best results. It will thus be naturally curved. Little tip: avoid the straightening iron which produces an absolutely unnatural "baguette" effect. On the other hand, you can use and abuse dry shampoo so that it does not grease too quickly!
If your hair is rather fine and/or straight, don't hesitate to add more volume to your layered bangs by lightly backcombing or using a texturizing spray. If, on the contrary, you have thick and/or curly hair, use a styling wax to better control the material and avoid the appearance of unsightly frizz.

On the maintenance side: nothing very trying! A light recut every 3 to 4 weeks is more than enough to keep all the style of the degraded bangs. And if you want to remove it for a day, just tie it with two clips and you're done! It also has the advantage of being able to easily transform into straight bangs, curtain bangs or wicks on the side. With all this, we understand better why the layered fringe will be so successful this fall-winter 2021/2022!
