For the Botox-reliant among you who have removed regular injections from the “necessities” column of your budget, there may be a way to conceal those pesky forehead lines yet. Celebrity stylist Suki Duggan of DonSuki Townhouse Salon in Manhattan has been spreading the gospel of bangs-over-Botox across the blogosphere, suggesting that some simple fringe can help you disguise the signs of aging while you wait for your economic situation to stabilize itself. She’s not the first person to think up the quick fix, though: American Chronicle alluded to the penny-pinching solution last month, adding that facial exercises are also a good option for the image-conscious who find themselves a little strapped for cash of late. And the proof is in the pudding: While Botox treatments can range from $350 to $500 for each area injected, regular bangs trims can cost as little as $5 a pop, and learning specialized movements for at-home facial contouring is free. Celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson has also weighed in on the issue, telling Stylist.com that bangs are, well, bangin’—and can look totally age-appropriate for women over 30 and beyond. Sadly, surgical masks are slightly less stylish, so the time to re-acclimate yourself to those smile lines is now.
