Do Bangs Really Make You Look Younger? An Expert Weighs In

Interview with Celebrity Hairstylist Mia St. James

Jimmy: Welcome, everyone! Today we have a very special guest in the Hot Seat, the one and only Mia St. James. Mia is a renowned hairstylist to the stars, and she’s here to tell us whether bangs really can make you look younger. Welcome, Mia!

Mia: Thanks, Jimmy! It’s great to be here. Bangs are such a hot topic right now, and I’m excited to dive into it.

Jimmy: Let’s dive right in. First question, Mia, do bangs make everyone look younger, or is it just a myth?

Mia: It’s definitely not a myth, Jimmy. The right style of bangs can absolutely refresh your look and make you appear younger. But, it’s important to choose the right type for your face shape and hair texture.

Jimmy: Speaking of which, is there a “one size fits all” bang, or does it depend on the individual?

Mia: It depends on the individual. For example, wispy bangs are great for softening harsh features, while brow-length bangs can hide forehead lines. But, styles like micro bangs don’t suit everyone.

Jimmy: People always worry about making a big change. What’s the most non-committal option for someone wanting to try bangs?

Mia: I’d suggest starting with curtain bangs. They look beautiful and can easily be styled out if you change your mind.

Jimmy: Ah, the infamous timeless trend. Why do you think curtain bangs are making such a comeback?

Mia: Fashion is cyclical, Jimmy. What goes out of style will find its way back. Curtain bangs offer a classic look that works with various hairstyles.

Jimmy: A serious yet often unasked question: do bangs require more maintenance than people think?

Mia: Yes, definitely. Regular trims and styling are key. But once you find a routine, it becomes second nature. So it’s a small price for a youthful look!

Jimmy: Many people claim bangs can be a wrinkle-concealer. What’s your take?

Mia: It’s true! Styles like choppy or brow-length bangs can distract from wrinkles, drawing attention to other facial features.

Jimmy: Are there any face shapes that you think should steer clear of bangs?

Mia: Round faces should be careful with micro and choppy bangs, as they can accentuate roundness instead of flattering it.

Jimmy: And, for anyone nervous about the change, any parting words of wisdom?

Mia: Don’t rush. Consult a stylist to discuss what will suit you. Hair is a way to express who you are, so make the choice that’s right for you.

Jimmy: Fantastic advice, Mia. Thank you so much for joining us. I think you’ve given our audience a lot of food for thought!
