Different Bangs for Different Face Shapes?
Bangs. Yes or no? Undoubtedly, bangs are always in fashion. They’re like an accessory in my opinion. You can change your look completely just by adding bangs or growing them out/pinning them back. We’re always growing out our bangs or cutting them, actually. So after you’ve decided that you want bangs now, how do you know what cut goes best with your current style? We know there are hairstyles that flatter different face shapes more and this is definitely true for fringe as well.
I’m currently loving Kate Moss’ old mid-length hair with bangs.

Oval Face Shapes:
Any type of fringe is ok with this face shape. It’s the most forgiving of all face shapes, so pick any style and just have fun with it. Remember to consider your hair texture to get the most flattering cut, ie, fine hair can try side-swept styles and thick textures can try blunt cuts.
Round Face Shapes:
The best style for this face shape will be face framing layers that blend the bangs with the rest of the hair cut. This minimized the roundness of the face and adds length. Try layering and feathering the bangs and go for a length that hits around the cheek area. This will add definition to the cheekbones.
Long Face Shapes:
Blunt bangs work well for long faces. This helps break up the face and will create more of an oval-shaped face. Blunt bangs that hit around the brow bone area will create this proportion. For a softer approach, you can try long or graduated layers around the face for a framing effect that’s always flattering.
Square Face Shapes:
Always stick with side-swept bangs. This will break up the width of the forehead. Make sure the side-swept bangs taper inwards softly toward the jaw line. This will also soften the angled jawline of the face.
Heart Face Shape:
The objective for this face shape is to draw attention away from the wideness of the forhead and the pointy chin. The best bangs for this are side swept feathered bangs or textured bangs. Some may consider trying full bangs if they have the right texture hair. Cut straight across, full bangs can help balance out this face shap as wel.
Triangle Face Shape:
Wider cut bangs work best for this face shape. Due to the angular nature of the face shape, it’s best to soften the bone structure with feathered or wispy bangs. This can create more of an oval shape. The feathered fringe will hide the widest points of the forehead and will balance this out in proportion to the chin. Flat, pageboy fringes are definitely not recommended.
Good luck with whichever style you choose! Be experimental and don’t worry, hair grows back! In the meantime, you can always use extensions, clip-ins or a wig. LOL
