Review (5/5): Business Bangs
Why I got them:
I am a Software Project Manager/Product Owner. I deal with clients on video calls and on site all the time (at least 4 times a week if not more). I also REALLY love my purple/blue/pink hair. However, purple/blue/pink hair doesn't really say "professional PM/PO", you know? Many clients wouldn't mind, but it has been my experience that I am viewed less pro when my hair is these lovely colors. So, my compromise is to cover my lovely with fake hair. When I'm meeting in person, I wear my wig, but when I'm meeting on a video call, bang works just fine (since I wear a large headphone/mic getup). With my pretty hair pulled back and the bangs and earpiece on, they are none the wiser.
Start with the cons:
They are very visibly synthetic. That is, they are high shine and plasticy looking. There IS a simple fix for that, though (just in case you were wondering). Dry Shampoo. That's it. Hold your dry shampoo can about 6 inches from your face and spritz. It takes the shine from the hair and makes them look all but natural. Just be sure that when you wash your bangs (I do after like 20 or more wears, since I only clip them in for meetings and am working inside so no sweating), you reapply the dry shampoo after they've dried.
Pros:
* The length is long, which means you can either wear them further back on your scalp or you can trim them. I always recommend wearing further back if you can, because that affords you more styling choices overall (you can pull them further forward and side-sweep them for example).
* Two small clips that I've never ever had slip.
* SUPER easy to install and remove
* Doesn't pull your hair at all, unless you tug on the bangs, of course
* Perfect to wear with a bangless wig, topper, or in my situation (where only the front of your hair can be seen)
Overall opinion:
I love them. They are perfect for my needs and they really stand up over multiple installs/removals.
