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.

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.

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
