Want to get bangs? Choose the one that best suits your face type. This article provides a hint on which bangs to choose for owners of the four main face types.
Round face
Avoid rounded bangs. Any smooth arches emphasize the roundness of the face, and you need to visually elongate the face vertically, or make it more angular. In general, you need to avoid bangs whose edges follow a semicircle (smile-shaped or arch-shaped).
Bangs with a “ragged” edge are suitable. It can be a light zigzag or thin strands falling over the eyes. But there should be some light volume at the roots of the bangs; it will balance out the round cheeks and not highlight them.
Important tip: Try bangs with the bottom edge just above your brow line. This will visually lengthen your face.
Square face
All bangs with a clear horizontal bottom line are not suitable for you. And in general, you should not consider any square shapes as an option. They will make the face too aggressive and stern.
Remember Brigitte Bardot's bangs. A fairly thick, flirty strand with jagged edges is what you need. It will make your face feminine and soft.
Important tip: Use a large round brush to style your bangs – the soft, rounded lines of volume will balance out a square face shape.
Oval face (if the forehead is low)
The best choice for this type of face is super-short bangs or no bangs at all. Medium-length bangs (as well as long ones) can emphasize a forehead that is not too large, and the face will not look harmonious. A compromise option is pin-up bangs. True, it requires a lot of effort to install.
Important tip: Unfortunately, extra-short bangs are difficult to maintain. It grows quickly and loses its desired length. Therefore, you will have to visit the hairdresser quite often - more often than necessary to maintain a regular haircut.
Oval face (high forehead, elongated proportions)
What a score! Almost any shape of bangs will suit and will decorate your face. However, there is a small exception. If the forehead is very high, then too long bangs will look unnatural and distort the proportions of the face. If you prefer only bangs that cover your eyebrows and even your eyes, you will have to take only the strands that grow along the hairline for bangs. If you take strands from the entire top of your head, the bangs will be too long.
Important tip: Dry shampoo is your best friend, as long, thick bangs only look elegant when they're clean.
Heart shape
Reese Witherspoon's bangs are most often cited as an example when talking about the heart-shaped face type. Multilayer bangs, as well as the favorite “feathers” of many, are almost universal: they smooth out the angularity of the face and do not weigh it down. Another successful bang option is long bangs, parted sideways: asymmetry also helps to hide a sharp chin.
Important tip: You can experiment with hair texture - a small wave will distract attention from a geometric chin.
