Bottleneck bangs: what is this trend and where did it come from?
The next trend
Curtain bangs have become a real trend among many clients. It seems that elongated bangs will never go out of fashion, and only the shapes and nuances in their execution will change. Today we'll talk about one of them.
Another stylish newcomer to the ranks of long bangs. For 2022, stylists predict the popularity of bangs called bottlenecks, or bangs in the shape of a bottle neck, as hairstylist Glenn Ellis noted. The bangs with such an unusual name are considered a copy of the iconic hairstyle of the Anglo-French actress Jane Birkin.
But another comeback of bangs happened in the summer of 2021, when Margot Robbie appeared on the cover of Vogue with the same bangs, and then Lily Colins and Dakota Fanning.
Bottleneck bangs have a shorter section at the forehead to create a small peak just above the eyebrows and longer strands that taper towards the cheekbones.
Despite the fact that the haircut is becoming very popular among clients, sometimes it is difficult to describe and explain. Therefore, the bangs were named so to explain the shape. The cropped silhouette is really reminiscent of a bottle neck, tapering at the top, then getting wider like the shoulders of a bottle, and then curving to give you that detail under the cheekbone.

Bottleneck bang is a bang created by narrow division. To create such bangs, the master needs:
⠀
- Divide the bangs area from the point of the bangs to the level of the middle of the eyebrow.
- Divide the bangs into a triangle.
⠀
- The hair in the bang area is cut using a layering technique for a soft and textured design. Approximate length is above the eyebrow.
⠀
- Hair that does not fall into the bangs area can be smoothly combined with the overall length of the bangs or left in a gap in the lengths (disconnected).
Like other extension bangs, this is also a good option to offer to clients who have not tried the look before. Not only are bangs easy to wear, but as they grow out, they transform into a longer version of the original cut.
This form of bangs is suitable for a model:
⠀
- if the client has a wide face;
⠀
- you need to hide your forehead;
⠀
- create soft lines to frame the face.
How to style bangs?
The answer is very simple: the way long bangs are generally styled. Blow dry your hair using a round brush, at an angle to your chin. To curl the ends in the desired directions and add volume, you can use a straightener. This pushes the edge of your bangs slightly away from your face for a little extra volume.
Since the bottleneck looks better in texture, use texturizing sprays to fix it. Depending on your hair type or personal preference, you may need different styling or more. The presented installation method is far from the only one, but one of the most commercial.
