If you have wavy hair and a high forehead, you should choose a different bangs than someone who has very thick, straight hair and a round face shape. Bangs and facial proportions have to fit together. It is important to first make an analysis of the shape of the face and then to decide whether a bangs fits these contours. And above all, which one.

Bangs for a round face
In order to visually stretch round faces, bangs with side parting that let the forehead flash through are particularly suitable. The bangs can be quietly stepped to the side and transferred to the side hair. A short bangs can stretch the face a bit. Frayed ponies or slightly wavy ones also take away the fullness of the face. You should avoid a very round cut bangs, because such a Mireille Mathieu cut emphasizes the round face shape even more. Here we have even more hairstyles for a round face.
Bangs for a heart-shaped face
Round ponies are ideal for the heart-shaped face. So a cut that is exactly opposite to the facial lines – in the middle of the forehead the pony should be the shortest and gently graded down to the length of the chin.

Bangs for a square face
A bangs can give something soft to the angular, striking face. Hairstyles where the bangs are a little longer are particularly suitable for this – for example, the trendy XL bangs. If the cheekbones are also strong, the pony can even be stepped up to the chin or extend a little further. Looking for more hairstyles for angular faces? We have great ideas.
Bangs for an oval face
You can wear any pony with an oval face shape. Classic straight lines look just as good as asymmetrical or fringed ponies. Whether the pony à la Heidi Klum almost reaches the eyes or just falls on the forehead depends on your hair structure. If you cut curls so short, they curl all the more, of course. An XL pony would weigh them down. It is best to have less cut off to try it out – after all, getting cut again is always possible. Here you will find even more hairstyles for oval faces.
Ponies with curly hair
Curly hair also has a bangs, but the look is completely different from the XL sleek variant. If you don't like the wave variant and want to style your pony smooth with straightening irons every day, 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 that quickly destroy the styling work . The slanted XXL bangs are a great option for curly hair, it leaves room for the waves and the pony section does not curl up as much towards the hairline.

Ponies for thick hair
In order for thick hair not to appear too voluminous on the forehead, the bangs have to get them into the right shape. It should not be set too high on the top of the head, just a few hairs on the front of the forehead are enough to cover the forehead with the bangs. You can also find hairstyles for thick hair in our ideas gallery.
Ponies for thin hair
A bangs is not always the ideal hairstyle for fine hair, because it makes the side sections look even narrower. If you still want to wear it, you should observe these principles:
Fine hair can even benefit from a bangs if it starts relatively far back and falls forward tightly and voluminously. However, thin hair should not have a very long bangs that fall into the eyes, because then the hair on the forehead looks just too filigree and unfortunately often a bit stringy. If the bangs end in the middle of the forehead, this is ideal for thin hair. It should not be frayed either, but cut straight. You can find styling and hairstyles for fine hair in our photo gallery.
Who is the long pony?
The extra-long bangs can be worn with straight and curly hair and range from the eyebrow to the cheekbones – in a straight cut, graded, fringed and diagonally cut variant. This hairstyle, in which the strands reach up to the eyebrows, perfectly conceals a high forehead. However, it is not ideal for fine hair and angular faces.
Tips for a nice pony
Wavy and curly hair with bangs should put on a good hairspray for fixation because they have the most movement in the hair. If you like, put a travel flat iron in your handbag.
If you are prone to blemished skin, you should blow-dry your bangs with the round brush so that the hair lies on the skin as little as possible. A touch of hairspray also helps because it encloses the hair and lets it absorb less fat. Extra tip: Practical powder sheets ("blotting paper", available in perfumery or in the drugstore) absorb excess fat from the forehead and thus help to keep the bangs as fat-free as possible.
If you don't have time to wash, you can do yours Refresh the pony a little with dry shampoo. Reach as little as possible with your hands in the strands, otherwise the pony gets out of shape and can be hung quickly.
