Throughout the history of bang wearing long eyebrow skimming
bangs have cycled in and out of popularity.
At the Fall 2007 Fashion Week many of the models in the various
high fashion shows rocked eyebrow skimming bangs also referred to as
heavy bangs or below-the-eye fringes.
Up and coming model Irina Lazareanu
rocked below-the-eyebrow
bangs at the Marc Jacobs show. Models
at Proenza Schouler and BCBG also strutted down the runways with
full heavy bangs.
Rocker Ashlee Simpson is famous for wearing classic
eyebrow skimming or eyebrow
bangs and has worn them off and on for
years.
Actress and model Carmen Electra appeared recently at
America's Most Smartest Model appearance in December wearing
dramatic long below-the-eyebrow bangs. As always she looked
stunning.

Long eyebrow style bangs are thought to
be very sexy and can be cut to hang long into the actual
eyes or may be the result of bangs that are growing out.
These bangs are typically cut to hang past the eyebrow by
anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
Although some hair and beauty experts recommend that only some
types of face shapes should wear the long sassy bang style, other
experts believe that every face shape can benefit from the look.
Whether the long eyebrow style bang is the result of growing out
bangs or cut on purpose, they have the benefit of directing
immediate attention upon the eyes.
Many wearers report that the below-the-eyebrow bangs are
annoying and hard to wear. Indeed, if the natural texture of
the hair is wavy the long eyebrow bangs may require special styling
products to straighten.
Texturizing around the fringes of heavy bangs offers a good softening option
(see Ashley Peldon below). Feathered bangs will create a fluffy look that
immediately softens and lengthens.

Long eyebrow skimming bangs can be stunning when combined with
any type of hair length from super short to super long and somewhere
in-between. Long eyebrow skimming bangs work best on hair that
is naturally straight due to the fact that tresses with any type of
bend, wavy or curl will be more difficult to style.
Depending on the natural type, thin, medium or thick, long
eyebrow bangs can be worn thin and wispy or very thick with lots of
volume.
Eyebrow skimming bangs can be cur straight across from side to
side or it optionally can be cut in a way that the bangs angle down
from the end of the eyebrows down towards the ears to create a
triangular effect.
Highlighted Eyebrow Skimming Bangs
If the goal of eyebrow skimming bangs is to punch up
the eyes, carefully applied ribbons of highlights and
lowlights intertwined throughout the bangs can have a
spectacular effect.
If the highlights and/or lowlights are added to thin, fine hair
worn in eyebrow skimming bangs, there is an added benefit of instant
plumpness and volume. Eyebrow Skimming Bang Styling Options

Long eyebrow skimming bangs can be styled so that they are worn
down in a straight or jagged line extending across the forehead.
Or, sometimes eyebrow skimming bangs are worn swept to one side
with the bulk of the bangs draped over one eye Veronica Lake style.
Long bangs are ideal for utilizing a wide range of hair
accessories ranging from bejeweled bobby pins, sleeper clips, hair
clips and slides.

skimming bangs in her runway shows for many years. An array of
high fashion models have strutted Sui designs topped by heavy bangs
for years and created a signature style that sets Sui apart from
other designers.
Many celebrities from Ashlee Simpson to Carmen Electra

Do long eyebrow skimming bangs look good on everyone?
Although everyone should wear their hair exactly as they please,
long veils of eyebrow framing bangs need to be selected on a case by
case basis. |
