Bangs have always been a sign of a new phase in life. They don’t require a complete haircut overhaul but can completely change your mood by adding the right amount of experimentation, or softening the edges. Hairstyles with bangs are no longer a risky decision. They’ve evolved from wispy fringes to glamorous updos. Today, they are versatile, expressive, and surprisingly adaptable to different face shapes, hair textures, and personal styles. What are the latest bang styles? Right now, bangs can be adapted to any occasion. According to Ganesh Sapal, creative director of The White Door Atelier: “Curtain fringes are still the most requested style in salons because they are versatile and easy to grow out. Wispy bangs provide a more romantic, easy-going finish.” Micro and baby bangs, on the other hand, are gaining popularity for their bold, fashionable appeal. A key trend is the move to personalised fringes. These don’t necessarily follow the latest trends, but rather tailor the cut to suit your face shape, hair type and daily routine. “Nothing too heavy or structured. Curtain bangs are the most popular, as they frame the face beautifully, and grow out easily. Softer, wispy edges create a natural look without being overpowering. Sakpal says that the foundation of great bangs is understanding your face shape. “Oval faces are able to pull off any style, while round faces benefit by elongating styles like curtain or side swept bangs. Square faces can balance angular features with softer, wispy styles. Heart-shaped faces look great with brow-grazing and side-swept styles to offset a wide forehead. He explains that fuller, blunter bangs are a great choice for longer face shapes because they can visually shorten the proportions. They can also be used with different textures, but a tailored approach is required. As Yashwant explains straight hair allows for greater precision, whereas wavy hair is best suited to softer, more flexible, fringes. “Curly hair has the most interest. You can achieve incredible results if you understand shrinkage and movements. What to consider before getting bangs. Bangs may seem effortless, but they require maintenance. Regular trimmings every 2-4 week are necessary to keep them looking intentional. Your lifestyle is also important: humidity, workouts, or rushed mornings may make styling more difficult. Daily maintenance plays a larger role than many expect. “The key to a good bangs is to dry them properly and use minimal products, especially during humid weather,” says Yashwant. “Blow-dry your bangs on medium heat after a shower, while brushing them through. This helps prevent frizz. Avoid heavy styling products as they can weigh down the fringe.

We are all about improving our daily habits and lives to improve our health. The existential question of hydration remains: which is better, hot or cold water? The answer is neither. Cold water is not better for you than hot water. This is not true; hot water is not more hydrating than cold water, or vice versa. Lucy Yu, clinical dietist at Keck Medicine of USC, says that both hot and cold water can help you maintain your daily hydration. This is more important than temperature. You can drink either hot or cold water throughout the day depending on your preference. Yu says drinking hot water can help ease digestive discomfort or sickness. It can also warm you up if you are feeling cold. It is not necessary to limit drinking hot water every day, as long as it’s comfortable and you don’t feel overheated. When should you drink cold or hot water? Yu recommends drinking cold or hot water to cool down after a workout, or any activity which has warmed you. It is also good to refresh yourself in a hot environment. Cold water can help you feel more alert and focused. It also helps you stay focused when you are exercising in the heat. She just recommends those with sensitive teeth or a sensitive stomach stay away from cold water as it might trigger discomfort.Regardless of whether you choose to drink hot water or cold water, all that matters is that you are drinking fluids throughout the day to stay hydrated. If you’re unsure or paralysed by the dilemma of two choices, go with room temperature. This article was first published on Vogue.com
