After reading several fashion magazines big September issue, I spied a few hair trends coming this fall. One of the looks that was in ALL of the magazines was bangs. Blunt, wispy, side-swept—I’m here to help you find the bang that fits your face shape.
Oval face shapes
Oval face shapes can get away with just about any bang look, but the type of bang should be chosen with an eye for hair type, texture, length and condition. Try the broad, blunt bangs that’s been seen rockin’ the runways for fall.
Round face shapes
Round face shapes tend to look better with long, softly layered or feathered bangs, (check with your stylist if your hair texture, type and condition can support feathering) which gently hug the cheeks areas to minimize round cheeks. When skillfully constructed, bangs can add beautiful contour to round faces. Great bangs can instantly chisel into the cheekbones and help them pop.
Long face shapes
Blunt, brow-hugging bangs that softly drape over the forehead will help to give the impression of a more oval-shaped face. The oval look can be strengthened by opting for long or graduated layers that softly caress the sides of the face. Also try side-swept bangs which break up the length of the face.
Square face shapes
Consider side-swept bangs that gently curve or taper inwards towards the jaw to soften pronounced square facial lines. When well cut, side-swept bangs can also help soften all the angles of the face.
Heart face shapes
Depending on the ultimate goal, bangs can be selected to either minimize the general wideness of the heart shaped face or help to balance the generally prominent chin. A side-swept, feathered, or texturized bang can also be another great option. A heart shaped face can also usually carry off full bangs cut straight across the face. Long or short, full bangs can look really great on a heart shaped face.
