Sure it’s winter and you’ve got the doldrums. But now’s the perfect time to sauce up your look. Spring is right around the corner and along with the vibrant looks seen on the runways, hair is getting more interesting too. Turn that Bohemian mop into a showcase of texture and volume with some bangs and layers. Now before you whip out those scissors and start hacking away-or give your stylist carte blanche to snip and clip, here are a few things to consider if you’re thinking about jumping on the bangs bandwagon.

Christopher Montoya from Tonic II Salon in Las Vegas says:

Bangs are hot! Okay, we get that. Figuring out which type of bang works for your face shape is the first step.

Types of bangs:

1. Asymmetrical bangs: Starts at brow level and goes longer on one side. This gives a soft and sexy look. Celebrities wearing asymmetrical bangs are Carmen Electra, Nicole Ritchie and Lindsay Lohan.

2. Square, blunt bangs: Compliments cuts below the chin. This gives a strong, edgy look and is more suited to people with strong jaw lines or a square face, such as Nelly Furtado.

3. Rounded, highly textured bangs: Great for diamond-shaped faces, such as Sandra Bullock.

Montoya also recommends headbands for all hairstyles. “Headbands are very in right now,” he says. “They should be worn in a retro style, a throwback to the 60s, with a bump on the crown and long ponytail, or slicked back hair with a thin band. Headbands should always be worn on the high point of the head. Scarves as headbands are also in.” Or, for a hot summer style Montoya says to try a full scarf for a bohemian look, which is light and easy for hot summer days. Look at Nicole Ritchie or Paris Hilton as examples for this look.

Having bangs means more hair maintenance (but what’s a little work for a great look?) “After getting a cut, you need to use good products to build texture, shine and hold,” says Montoya who recommends the bumble & bumble line of products.
