They say that not all face shapes can carry of bangs, but that’s not entirely true. Bangs are cut to enhance your face shape and features, and usually, it needs to be in harmony with not only the shape of your face but also your hair’s type.
So let’s get you beautiful bangs that will suit your face shape. Yes, it’s possible.
1. Oval face shape
If you’re blessed with an oval face, then you’re in luck because any hairstyle will look good on you (short, medium, long) and more so bangs. But try not to go for full bangs. Instead, get your stylist to frame your face with bangs that are between the brow and eyelash, and are longer on the edges.
2. Round face shape
For round faces, you would need to go for softly layered or feathered bangs. Thick bangs will only further accentuate a full face so have as much hair away from your face as possible. Better yet if your stylist can work a gentle, arching shape that flatters your bone structure and minimizes round cheeks.
3. Square face shape
Consider side-swept bangs that gently curve or taper inwards, or go for long, eye-grazing bangs that will help soften all the angles of your face shape. But be sure to tell your stylish to leave the heaviest pieces on the side and not mask your eyes. It’ll also be good to have a little forehead peeking through your bangs.
4. Heart face shape
Heart-shaped faces can usually carry off full bangs cut straight across the face. But because having a heart-shape face also means having a prominent chin, you might want to get your stylist to give you feathered or texturized side swept bangs to refrain from looking too “top heavy”. Avoid blunt cuts, too.
Your stylist or regular hairdresser should be able to advise you on the style of bangs that will work with your face shape. As a matter of fact, a good hairdresser who knows your hair texture inside out should be able to custom design bangs that work will perfectly for you.
