How to Pick the Right Bangs for Your Face Shape

Many women have decided to take a risk and get bangs. The look can accentuate your best features and draw attention away from features you may not like as much. Bangs can vary widely in terms of length and style, and certain types work better with different face shapes. Here are some tips to help you choose the right style for you.

Styles of Bangs for Different Face Shapes

For an oval face, almost any style of bangs will work. You want them to fall between your eyebrows and eyelashes and to be longer on the edges. You can wear them straight or swept to the side.

For a round face, you can choose bangs with a gentle arch. It is important to have them cut correctly to avoid making your face appear even fuller. A graphic curved shape will flatter your face. Make sure the bangs are cut thick for the best look.

If you have a square face, long bangs that graze your eyes can make your face look softer. Ask your stylist to cut your bangs so they fall just below your eyebrows and cut them a little longer on the sides so they don’t cover your eyes. You can keep them feathery in the middle so a bit of your forehead is visible.

If you have a heart-shaped face, side-swept bangs can balance out your features. Ask for layered and feathered bangs with the shortest pieces at the arch of your eyebrows and the longest pieces at the outer corners of your eyes.

If you have a small forehead, sloping and asymmetrical bangs can make it look more pronounced. Have your bangs cut on a steep, side-swept angle that skims your cheekbones. You can also give your hair a deep side part.

If you have a high forehead, you can get heavy side-swept bangs that start in the center of your forehead and graze your cheeks.
