You can achieve it with a "multitude of irregular layers made with scissors or with a razor, it seems to be able to create different textures with irregular volumes and a lot of movement to the hair" according to the expert Carlos Fernández, from Franck Provost.

One of the details that makes it different from the others is that it usually includes an XL fringe to frame the face. In this sense, in the words of the expert, it feels perfect with bangs, "which blend along the neck, giving the look a 70s air". This type of cut has been worn by celebrities who love long hair like Hilary Duff, Selena Gomez, Kendall Jenner and now Jennifer Lopez.

One of the great advantages of wearing this cut is its ease when styling it. Since unlike a short one, the ‘XL Bang’ has more possibilities when it comes to wearing it, however, if what you want is to obtain a texture and a ‘messy’ style result (disheveled), there is a very special trick and that consists of letting it dry in the open air, opening the curl with your fingers".

To achieve this, you just have to comb it with your head down and at most give a small touch of styling with a round brush on the front to give that face-framing touch.

Another alternative that the aforementioned beauty expert has suggested is to use a ‘styling’ product that gives it volume and texture, "later working the strands backwards with a tong." However, being long, you can also make certain comfortable and simple updos for day to day.

Despite being a very versatile cut, it is very flattering, especially for those women who have thick and abundant hair. Regarding the faces, according to the stylist Carlos Fernández, it is "the ideal for those who have the smallest face because it will give a lot of texture, irregularity and XXL volume on the sides, in addition to enhancing those features, as are the cheekbones and eyes.

As if that were not enough, this cut does not require much maintenance, but there is something that experts have agreed that it is advisable to touch up the layers every month and a half or two months. "The ends should be polished especially, because if they are cut with a razor to give more texture, they can lead to split ends."
