Bangs: They instantly make cuts look cooler and add edge to any client—but are they worth the commitment? It’s a common question when clients are considering making the chop, but thanks to the new Bang In (a clip-on extension piece) from hairtalk® extensions, it doesn’t have to be. Now stylists can add fullness and a fringe to update their client’s look in just minutes (and without any commitment!). Plus, it’s a great retail opportunity. Watch hairtalk® Artistic Director Vicki Casciola add the Bang In and share some tips on perfecting this service. (more…)

    Once secure, direct the hair about a ½ inch from the back of the bang toward the apex. (This is super important as it will ensure proper blending into the client’s natural hair!) Then, direct the rest forward.

    Begin point-cutting the fringe area, keeping the length slightly longer than the client’s desired end length. This allows for customization once the piece is placed on the client's head.

    Slide-cut the sides to ensure the Bang In properly blends into client’s hair.

    Then place the Bang In on the top of the client’s head, securing the back clip first and the side clips second.
