Which bangs suit my face?

Which pony suits me?

Choosing the shape of bangs is not just about hairstyle trends. It’s all about finding the perfect bangs for your face shape and hair type. Someone with wavy hair and a high forehead should choose different bangs than someone with very thick, straight hair and a round face shape. Bangs and face proportions must fit together. It is important to first analyze the shape of the face and then decide whether a fringe fits these contours. And most importantly, which one.

Our test “What is my face shape?” will help you determine the shape of your face. And if you’re looking for inspiration, you’re guaranteed to find plenty in our “Hairstyles with Bangs” and “Bob with Bangs” photo gallery.

Bangs for a round face

Pony hairstyles with a side parting that let the forehead shine through are particularly suitable for optically elongating round faces. The bangs can be layered to the side and transferred to the hair on the side. Short bangs can elongate the face a bit. Fringed bangs or slightly wavy ones also take away the fullness of the face. You should avoid bangs that are cut very round, because such a Mireille Mathieu cut emphasizes the round face shape even more. Here we have more hairstyles for a round face.

Bangs for a heart shaped face

Round bangs are ideal for a heart-shaped face. So a cut that is exactly the opposite of the facial lines – in the middle of the forehead the bangs should be shortest and gently graduated down to chin length.

Bangs for a square face

Bangs can add some softness to the angular, prominent face. Hairstyles with slightly longer bangs are particularly suitable for this – for example the trendy XL bangs. If the cheekbones are also strong, the bangs can even be graduated to the chin or even reach a little further. Looking for more hairstyles for square faces? We have great ideas.

Bangs for an oval face

With an oval face shape, you can wear any fringe. Very classic straight lines look just as good as asymmetrical or fringed bangs. Whether the bangs à la Heidi Klum almost reach into the eyes or just fall on the forehead depends at most on your hair structure. If you cut curls that short, they naturally become all the more curled. An XL pony would weigh her down. It’s best to cut off less to try it out – after all, it’s always possible to have it trimmed again. Here you can find more hairstyles for oval faces.

Pony on curly hair

Curly hair also suits bangs, but the look is completely different from the XL Sleek version. If you don’t like the wavy version and want to style your fringe every day with a straightening iron, you have to be aware of the effort and make friends with imperfect results – after all, there are natural enemies such as rain and wind, which quickly destroy the styling work . The oblique XXL fringe is a great option for curly hair, it gives the waves room to maneuver and the fringe does not roll up so much towards the hairline.

Bangs for thick hair

So that thick hair does not look too voluminous on the forehead, the fringe must bring it into the right shape. It should not be set too high on the top of the head, a few hairs at the front of the forehead are enough to cover the forehead with the fringe. You can also find hairstyles for thick hair in our ideas gallery.

Pony for thin hair

A pony is not always the ideal hairstyle for fine hair, because it makes the side parts appear even narrower. If you still want to wear it, you should observe these principles:

Fine hair can even benefit from a fringe if it starts relatively far back and falls forward in a nice, thick and voluminous manner. However, thin hair should not wear very long bangs that fall into the eyes, because then the hair on the forehead simply looks too delicate and unfortunately often a bit straggly. If the bangs end in the middle of the forehead, this is ideal for thin hair. It should also not be fringed, but cut straight. Styling and hairstyles for fine hair can be found in our photo gallery.

Who does the long bangs suit?

The extra-long bangs can be worn by straight and curly hair and reach from the eyebrow to the cheekbones – in straight cut, layered, fringed and slanted versions. This hairstyle, in which the strands reach the eyebrows, perfectly conceals a high forehead. However, it is not ideal for fine hair or square faces.

Tips for a beautiful pony

Wavy and curly hair with bangs should use a good hairspray to hold it in place, as this is where the hair has the most movement. If you like, you can put a travel straightening iron in your handbag.

Anyone who tends to have impure skin should blow-dry their bangs with a round brush so that the hair lies as little as possible on the skin. A touch of hairspray also helps, as it coats the hair and allows it to absorb less oil. Extra tip: Practical powder sheets (“blotting paper”, available in perfumeries or drugstores) absorb excess fat from the forehead and thus help to keep the fringe as fat-free as possible.

If you don’t have time to wash, you can do yours Freshen up bangs with dry shampoo. Grab as little as possible with your hands in the strands, otherwise the bangs will get out of shape and hang quickly.
