Clip in bangs / fringe

You get some women who look amazing with a fringe or heavy bangs. The looks suits their face shape, makes their eyes pop and their bangs just fall perfectly...every...day (writer sighs with jealousy). Then there is the rest of us.

We have tried, over and over again, to master the 'fringe' or Cleopatra look, but the fairytale ending we want never seems to surface. We either end up looking like fifth grader, or we end up with an oily excuse for a fringe that sticks to our foreheads. Then their is the awkward process of growing your fringe or bangs out, when you get over the maintenance and up keep of that celebrity fringe.

Never-the-less, the trend setters and celebrities out there are constant in their effort to bring back bangs. We see these amazing hairstyles on the runways, on the red carpet and in the tabloids. So even though we know we look terrible with heavy bangs and we know it takes a lot of maintenance to keep the hairdo looking chic....we still fall into the trending trap. We can't resist!! It just looks soooooo cool. My latest fetish is the bangs of Zooey Deschanel, more commonly known as Jess in The New Girl. I want, I want, I need her hair style!

Zooey Deschanel rocks bangs!!!

How do they do it?

Ever wondered how celebs like Kim Kardashian have sexy bangs the one minute and a long, sleek, middle parting the next??

Celebs like Kim, have bangs the one minute and none the next.

I am so excited to share this Hollywood secret with you! Wait for it.....

They use clip in bangs!!!

Yes, you heard me, the clip in a fringe/bangs when they feel like it and clip them back out when they get over it. 

What are clip in bangs?

Okay, so this amazing little invention is exactly what it says. It's bangs or a fringe that you can simply clip in and out....and in....and out....as many times as you want! Just like clip in extensions.

No cutting your hair! No commitment! Very low maintenance! Falls perfectly every time!

This is how clip in bangs look

How does it work?

Clipping in your bangs or fringe is so easy. It takes less than 30 seconds! There are usually three clips, two at the front and one at the back.

The picture below shows you just how easy this amazing transformation can be:

Have a look at this video to see just how easy clip on bangs are to apply:

Maintenance

You can purchase 100% Real Remy(human) hair clip on bangs or synthetic clip on bangs. Depending on which type you purchase, the care instructions will be different.

If you purchase the Remy clip on bangs, you can straighten, curl, dye and even highlight the hair. You can also wash the hair and style as you please.

Heat can be applied to Real Remy hair

If you purchase the synthetic clip on bangs, you cannot style or colour the hair. So make sure you select the right shade and style of bangs.

Challenges

One challenge that seems to dominate reviews on clip in bangs, is selecting the right shade/colour. There are so many different shades of black, brown, blonde, and red. So make sure you do your research, and make use of the guidelines on the supplier's website.This is especially important if you are buying synthetic bangs as you cannot dye them. Real Remy bangs are more expensive, but you can tint and highlight the bangs to match your colour.

Suppliers and costs

Clip in bangs prices range from R100 - R1000.($10-$100) They go for around R300($30) on Bobby Glam If your from South Africa, then go have a look on bid or buy as they are selling for about R100- R250, and if your not from South Africa, and looking for a deal, I would advice looking on online bidding sites or online stores.

Final thoughts

I am so excited about clip on bangs! I think it is such a brilliant idea! And definitely something worth showing! I hope you enjoyed this post and discovered something new:) I cant wait to get my clip on bangs.

Sincerely,
