Bangs also help rejuvenate the face, so you don't hesitate to succumb to curtain bangs or side bangs for a glamorous hairstyle full of character. But which haircut is right for you? Here are several ideas that will surely make you fall for it!
The square
The mid-length bob is a hairstyle that suitable for all face shapes, especially heart-shaped faces. It is suitable for women aged 50 and over as it tends to rejuvenate!
The classic square
Taraji P. Henson's classic mid-length bob is a particularly feminine and glamorous hairstyle. It will especially suit a Oval face but other face types can be tempted by this timeless hairstyle. However, be careful not to wear it too smooth. This creates a lack of volume, which isn't always flattering for round, long, or geometric faces. We will then bring a little volume and texture to the hair.
The classic square with parting on the side
The classic bob with parting or bangs on the side like Jodie Foster is a hairstyle particularly recommended for diamond, square and round faces to soften the cheekbones. The side bangs are a perfect choice for heart-shaped or inverted triangle faces as it dresses up the forehead and thus helps to make it look smaller. A parting or a fringe on the side will bring softness to long faces. This hairstyle will be preferred to bring volume to the top for triangle faces.
The classic bob with straight bangs
The mid-length bob associated with a long straight fringe by Viola Davis is strongly recommended for elongated faces in order to conceal the forehead. This rounds the face and makes it shorter. On the other hand, we avoid too straight bangs if we have a square face, diamond, heart or triangle.
The smooth plunging square
Jennifer Lopez's plunging mid-length bob embellishes diamond-shaped faces. However, avoid a too smooth plunging square. We prefer to bring texture and volume to soften the features and break up the too geometric side. Square faces can also adopt a blurred or wavy plunging square. The plunging bob is also very suitable for a round face to lengthen the jawline. However, it should be avoided if you have a long face.
The wavy square
The wavy bob like Meg Ryan's is an ideal hairstyle to give hair volume. When it stops under the chin or at the neck, it is particularly recommended for round faces. It can be embellished with a long section on the side to delicately dress the forehead and rebalance facial features. The mid-length wavy bob is also a must-have for the triangle faces in order to soften the jaw. It is also suitable for long, rectangular, diamond faces as well as oval faces which will be sublimated by the volume.
The gradient square
Lisa Kudrow's mid-length layered bob is a very good option for a diamond face but also for a long or heart-shaped face in order to add substance and harmonize features. It is suitable for round and square faces as long as it doesn't start too high and stops below the chin or at the neck.
Structured square with fringe
If we have a oval or long face, we can adopt the structured bob accompanied by a pretty fringe without worrying about making a mistake. This haircut helps add volume. However, it is better to avoid it if you have a diamond-shaped or geometric face.
Textured square
Naomie Watts' textured mid-length bob is a great hairstyle choice for all face types. It brings both volume and softness to rebalance even the most angular faces.
The curly square
Wavy and curly hair works great with heart-shaped faces in order to round off and soften the angles. The wavy or curly bob brings romanticism to round, square, rectangular faces and volume to long faces. Oprah Winfrey's curly bob will suit any woman.
The simple mid-length gradient
A mid-length gradient like that of Claudia Schiffer is a good tip for a triangle face, however, we prefer a parting on the side rather than a parting in the middle. This helps to add volume to the top of the head and thus broaden the forehead to harmonize features. We opt for a gradient above the jaw for a stunning result. The mid-length layered cut is generally suitable for all types of face and therefore, for all women. However, it will be necessary to adapt the gradient to the shape of his face. A hairstylist will be able to give you the best advice.
The curly mid-length gradient
The mid-length layered cut like Julia Roberts's is an ideal hairstyle for refine and lengthen a round face. We avoid adopting too smooth hair, we prefer wavy or wavy for more softness. A slightly blurry, wavy or curly mid-length gradient is also perfect for a square face to soften the too angular side. The gradient is also suitable for inverted triangle faces to harmonize the features. The curls, waves and a well-defined parting on the side are little tips to give the impression of a more rounded shape.
The mid-length tapered gradient
Sandra Bullock's mid-length tapered gradient will suit all women but be careful all the same, avoid a cut that is too tapered and too structured for angular faces.
The mid-length gradient with bangs
A mid-length gradient works really well with pretty bangs like Sophie Marceau's. If the one on the side is suitable for all faces, the straight bangs are more suitable for oval and elongated faces as well as to hide a large forehead.
The mid-length gradient with parting on the side
The side parting like Cindy Crawford is ideal for giving the hair a nice movement, especially if the hair is slightly curly. This hairstyle is obviously suitable for a woman with an oval face who can afford to place her parting in the middle or on one side. Long faces will be enhanced by a parting on the side to break the effect of length. To rebalance a heart-shaped or diamond-shaped face, we don't hesitate to adopt it in a very pronounced way.
Parting on the side is possible for all faces however, it is advisable not to go for hairstyles while volume for an elongated face. Indeed, the waves or the curls can accentuate the shape of the face.
The mid-length gradient while volume
A pretty wavy gradient while volume with a combed-tousled effect like Kim Basinger is the ideal hairstyle for a diamond-shaped or heart-shaped face. Like the actress, we favor a parting in the middle to soften the features rather than a parting in the middle.
What hairstyles with shoulder-length hair?
With shoulder-length hair, there are endless possibilities for hairstyles. The braid on the side like Marcia Cross is preferred for a bohemian and romantic style, it also tends to rejuvenate. The ponytail like Jennifer Aniston and Monica Belluci is a classic that brings a lot of modernity while remaining particularly chic. We will avoid low ponytails with a round or square face and we will prefer a fuzzy hairstyle. We also like the half-tail like that of Angelina Jolie for a hairstyle that is both relaxed and refined. Finally, the bun is always a safe bet, we are particularly fond of the unstructured bun with tapered bangs from Halle Berry, which is suitable for all occasions.
