Bangs or Botox ?
In an effort to curb discretionary spending (can you really call essential beauty maintenance discretionary?), many women are cutting down on pricey treatments and finding creative alternatives. According to Suki Duggan, owner of New York City salon Donsuki Townhouse Salon, "One of my fashion industry clients lost her job and mentioned that she used to get Botox every 3 months, but now she can only swing it twice a year."
No doubt there are plenty of women just like her, lining up for help from their hair stylists to help camouflage horizontal expression lines, brow furrows and even crows feet, instead of shelling out thousands of dollars for the dermatologist's fix. Some are more afraid of making a commitment to cutting thier bangs than getting Botox. This is where clip-in bangs come in. They are made of 100% human hair and you can color and trim them to match your hairstyle perfectly.Celebrity stylist Ted Gibson thinks bangs are fantastic solution to disguise these signs of aging. "Bangs are always bangin'," says Gibson, who loves them on women in their thirties and beyond, like Kate Walsh, Reese Witherspoon and Joy Bryant. He also touts bangs as recession friendly because he and his stylists (at the Ted Gibson Salon in NYC) routinely teach customers how to trim their own bangs, to extend the time between salon visits. Gibson stresses that when you do ask your stylist to cut bangs, you should opt for a soft look, not a hard, blunt line, in order to bring out your eyes and emphasize your cheekbones.
The verdict? Forget Botox for now -- bangs are youthful, chic and penny pinching!
