Bangs are still a big trend for women right now. Choose the best bangs to flatter your face shape.
EVERYTIME we turn around, we see women wearing hairstyles with bangs that cover their foreheads. Everyone has fallen in love with the ultra-feminine fringed hairstyle.
Like other hairstyles, however, if you want to look your best in bangs, always go for the style that suits your face shape.
Whether you are styling your hair au naturelle or doing the wig or weave-on, always get your hairdresser to style you up in a fringe that flatters your face shape.
Follow these hints on how to get it right:
. If you have a round face, a same-width forehead and lower face, with prominent cheeks, the best bangs for you is a long, angular, side-swept bang.
“If you’re trying to create an oval, then a round face just needs to be elongated, so you certainly wouldn’t want to put blunt bangs on the widest part of a round face,” says an expert hair stylist. Any kind of fringe that cuts a third of the roundness off to create that oval shape works. A long, swept across bang is, therefore, good for a round face shape.”
. If you have a square face with angular jawbone and hairline, the best bangs for you is a full, blunt fringe.
Square shapes can definitely wear a full fringe, but the bangs shouldn’t be cut too far towards the outer edge of the eyes- they have to be kept narrower in the center. You can also add layers that hit below your chin, which will help elongate your face.
. If you have an oval face characterized with same-width forehead and lower face, with longer sides, then any style of bangs is good for you. Oval-shapes can pretty much wear any type of fringe because it is the most balanced of the face shapes. If your face is more oblong, try a wide bang because it will give the eye area a sense of width. The biggest thing is to make sure all those little hairs around hairline are properly smoothed out.
. If you have a heart-shaped face characterized with wider forehead and narrow chin, the best bangs for you is a long fringe that hits below the chin.
Don’t go for wide bangs, because you’re going to draw attention to the widest part of the head. Instead, opt for a long fringe, something down below the chin. If the point of interest in your haircut is below your chin, then ultimately you’re going to pull the eye line down, creating a sense of length in the face.
