<pre><code># IDK_SDXL-specific-bangs — Bangs &amp; Fringe LoRA for SDXL

## Description

All the bangs — blunt, curtain, micro, hime cut, eye-covering, and parted. SDXL tends to default to "generic fringe"; this gives you actual control over bang styles.

### Before we start...

Bangs: the only thing that can completely change how a person looks in 0.5 seconds.
Also the only thing that takes 6 months to regret.
This LoRA lets you try every style with zero commitment issues.

&gt; **Disclaimer:** The dark humor above is just a joke to break the ice and does NOT reflect my actual feelings or beliefs. Just vibes. Enjoy the LoRA!

## Tips

- Start with LoRA weight around **0.7** and adjust up/down depending on how strong you want the effect.
- Combine with other IDK_ LoRAs from this series for layered results (e.g. body + hair + style).
- Works with both realistic and stylized SDXL checkpoints.
- Use the trigger words in your prompt for best activation.
- If the effect is too subtle, increase weight or repeat the trigger word.
- If the effect is too strong / distorted, lower the weight to 0.5-0.6.

## Part of the IDK Series

This LoRA is part of the **IDK LoRA collection** — a set of specialized SDXL LoRAs that can be used individually or merged together. The merged version (**IDK.safetensors**) combines all of them using hierarchical semantic merging for maximum quality.
