"Bottleneck bangs": the new ultra-flattering bangs that everyone will want to wear in 2022

After the reign of curtain bangs, a new style is set to hit all fronts in 2022. hair is meant to be "super flattering" and adjusts to "almost all face shapes", according to British hairstylist Tom Smith, who has made it one of the hair looks that will mark the year.

As the name suggests, "these bangs are basically inspired by the neck of a bottle: first thin and short in the middle, longer as it curves around the eyes, then even longer as it follows the line of the cheekbone,” describes Tom Smith in a post on his Instagram account. "This allows you to adjust the length and angle depending on whether you want your cheekbones to appear taller or stronger, or whether you might prefer to slim and narrow a wider face, drawing attention to your eyes and your lips."

Spotted on celebrities like Margot Robbie, Dakota Johnston and Angèle, this effortless style is reminiscent of the bohemian aesthetic of the 1970s that has dominated beauty trends for several seasons. Its main advantage? This cut “is an exceptionally effective technique for framing the face. For many people, the classic fringe with a strict horizontal line across the face is wrong, while most people can wear the bottleneck fringe to add softness to their face and flatter their features,” says the expert.

How to adopt the "Bottleneck Bangs" look?

Better to hire a professional hairdresser to sport this asymmetrical look. In the salon, "ask your stylist to create longer bangs that skim your cheekbones at an angle that flatters your face, curving all around to create a layer between your cheekbones and jawline," advises Tom Smith, "then , ask for the middle part to be shorter, keeping the cut line soft and choppy in the middle and gradually lengthening at the edges.”

As for styling at home, simply dry the bangs with a hair dryer by brushing them roughly with your fingers to give a natural style. For a more sophisticated look, use a straightener and create a slight wave on each side that will soften the transition to the lengths. To tame its curved shape and keep it in place all day, add a small amount of wax or pomade while curling its ends. Finish by spraying on a bit of texturizing spray which will add grip and structure to the whole hairstyle.

This cut, which is particularly suitable for straight to wavy hair, has the merit of boosting the simplest of hairstyles. "The bottleneck fringe also brings softness when you tie your hair in a bun or a ponytail," confirms Tom Smith, who suggests letting a few more or less long strands fall in front of the face so as to frame according to the desired result.

Another significant advantage: in addition to being easy to maintain on a daily basis, this fringe does not require so many appointments with the hairdresser, since its regrowth is discreet and blends naturally into the rest of the hair.
