The Best Bangs for Your Face

We’ve all had that moment when we thought “how hard could it be to cut bangs?” Cut to ten minutes later when we’ve locked ourselves in the bathroom, crying to our mom that we can’t possibly go to school until nature has corrected our mistake. However, you don’t need hours of therapy to get over this teenage trauma; all you need is the right stylist to give you the right bangs for your face.

The right style bangs for your face

The right style bangs for your face

Bangs for a square face

A square face with sharp features like a square jaw, high cheekbones, and an equally square forehead should look for bangs that will soften up the edges of your face. Bangs that are cut straight and hit just below the brow but have some longer, thicker strands along the sides of your face will soften up harder features. If your bangs are cut too straight all the way across, it will only accentuate the squareness of your face.

Bangs for a heart shaped face

If your forehead is wider than your jaw and you have a cute pointy little chin, then you have a heart shaped face - or an alien shaped face, if you’re into the extraterrestrial look. However, a wispy side swept bang is just what your forehead heavy face needs to gain a little balance.

Bangs for tall and small foreheads

If you have a high forehead (a five-head), go for a thicker version of the side swept bangs will hide your forehead and help widen your face a little.A short forehead will benefit from a side swept bang with a steeper angle, ending around the edge of your cheekbone. The steeper angle of the bang will elongate your forehead and balance our your face.

Bangs for a round face

You want bangs that make a long arch-like shape across your forehead. That will compliment the round curves of your face, but won’t make it seem “chubby.” You want your bangs to accentuate the natural curves of your face, but make a round face a little longer and slimmer with the help of full, arched bangs.If your face is more oval than round, then congratulations, you have won the bang lottery and can pretty much pick from any style of bang that you like.
