Bangs are quite a controversial topic. On the one hand, when you do them right, they are cool and extravagant, they can completely transform your look and make your haircut more interesting and stylish. On the other hand, bangs also have that bad reputation of being something you get when you are going through a situation or having a crisis. We’ve all seen too many videos of people cutting their own bangs, and it’s often been framed as a mistake or a rash decision that you regret for months while you wait for your bangs to grow out. However, that doesn’t have to be the case if it’s done by a professional and you choose the right type of bangs to suit your face shape. So let’s see which bangs are best for each face shape.
heart shaped face
Heart-shaped faces are generally wider at the top, with a larger forehead, nice cheekbones, and a small, sometimes pointed chin. 70s inspired bangs that are long and feathery on the sides and shorter in the middle are a great option for those who want to match the shape of their face and make it look more oval, plus these bangs are super trendy in this moment. Alternatively, you can also opt for baby bangs (not to be confused with micro bangs). Baby bangs are shorter and are usually thinner and feathery rather than blunt.
Round face
There is a false belief that people with round faces should stay away from bangs. People think that round faces are already small and adding bangs will make them look even smaller and round cheeks will look chubby. That’s absolutely ridiculous. Side bangs are an excellent option for round faces, as they will visually lengthen the face. Blunt micro bangs are also a good idea as they are short enough to not make your face look squashed, but at the same time, they are cool enough to make a statement and give you that edgy look.
square face
If you have a square or rectangular face, long layered bangs are best as they will soften the angles of your face. Another type of bangs that work well for this face shape are A-line bangs. As you can imagine, they are longer on the sides and go up at an angle, with the shortest part in the middle, over the nose. A-line bangs are a great way to make your forehead appear a little smaller, while still showing off that impressive angular jawline.
Oval face
When you have an oval face, almost all types of bangs look good on you. Basically, you’ve won the lottery when it comes to face shapes. Most bang styles and most haircuts will look amazing on you. You’ll look good with blunt bangs, but if you tone them down and make them medium length, not above your eyebrows, but just at the right height where the bangs brush your eyebrows, that’s a winning combination.
Long Face
Long faces need long bangs. Anything blunt and short will only accentuate the original elongated face shape. Which isn’t necessarily a bag thing, but if your goal is to visually make your face look smaller and achieve that cute look, you might want to opt for long, grown-out bangs that are feathered and go past your bangs. eyebrows. Another good option is to opt for angled side bangs which will visually create a diagonal on your face and focus most of the attention on the middle of your face, which is what we all want.
