Straight, to the side, long, short … There are as many types of bangs as there are faces, so don't be afraid to play around with your hair.
Fringes for a heart-shaped face
Faces of this shape are characterized by a decreasing size, that is, the forehead is the widest part of the face, while the latter tapers down to the chin. This is why open 70s-style bangs look so much better on heart-shaped faces.
Forget the straight, regular bangs across the forehead. If your face is heart-shaped, then you need to highlight your features. If you wear bangs that are blurred or from the top of the forehead to the side, the result will be much prettier! The straight bangs on the contrary, will not be able to harmonize your face and will tend to compact it.
Fringes for square faces
If you have a square, angular face, you should avoid geometric cuts, as they will "robotize" your face, and accentuate your features. As with the heart shaped face, it is better if you choose to wear your bangs on one side, it will soften them. In addition, this type of bangs will give your face a feminine touch.
Bangs for oval faces
If your face shape is oval, then good news, all types of bangs look great on you! Whether it's asymmetrical, fuzzy, straight, draped, long, one-sided … you have no excuse not to try them on until you find the one you like the most. Even short bangs like Audrey Hepburn's, yet very difficult to wear, will fit you perfectly. The elongated shape of your face creates an unbreakable harmony with all the bangs.
Bangs for round faces
Geometric bangs are not for you. Instead, aim for relaxed bangs, let your locks fall to the sides of your face, and with a little practice, you can give your bangs some “shape” when brushing. Be inspired by these celebrities whose bangs you will love. If your face has a rounded shape, it is best that you choose to wear bangs in order to highlight your features.
Fringes for curly hair
If your hair is curly or wavy, don't think that this can prevent you from wearing bangs, on the contrary. While it is true that you need to keep the volumes under control, it will work perfectly with your curls. Preferably opt for long bangs at the height of the eyebrows or placed on the side.
