Bangs add an air of sophistication and freshness to your hairstyle, giving it more volume and framing your facial features beautifully. To create a full charge, start with the front section of your hair and use a rat tail comb to form a triangle shape before cutting evenly along its edges. For added naturalness, you could taper its edges.
Angular Bangs
Bangs that start at the eyebrow level are an adorable way to highlight your high forehead while giving a long layered haircut a sweet feminine aesthetic. Additionally, this style works well on thinner locks. If you have an oval, square, or round face shape, try this style to soften its contours and even out weight distribution. Additionally, this look flatters any hair color! This timeless girl-next-door look requires minimal upkeep, making it suitable for almost every face shape. The side-swept, angular bangs visually cut across your face diagonally – an incredibly flattering shape for heart and square faces. This style exudes effortless beachside charm by adding texture through gel or pomade.
Full Bangs
Long hair with bangs can enhance any woman’s face shape. But before committing to full bangs, consider your face shape and hair texture before opting for them – longer lengths would work best on oblong or square faces, while thinner bangs look best with rounder features. Side-swept bangs are an iconic look for anyone with wavy or textured locks, framing the face while softening solid cheekbones. Zooey Deschanel embodies this look beautifully, sporting long waves with bangs swept to one side. Even if your locks are thin and straight, achieving the complete bang look can still be possible by asking your stylist to add layers that create movement and volume in your bangs. The result will be an elegant, sophisticated style you can dress up or down depending on your occasion.
Side Bangs
Long layered bangs swept to one side can add an eye-catching framing effect to your face, particularly if you have an oval or heart-shaped face and need help balancing out a prominent forehead. Perfect for both casual and formal wear. If you’re tired of your standard center parting but looking for a change, side-swept bangs could be needed to add something different and stand out. They look incredibly stylish yet adorable when appropriately styled and can work well to soften short foreheads while giving the facial features more definition. But remember, this style may not suit everyone; consult with a stylist if unsure.
Layered Bangs
If straight, blunt bangs seem overwhelming or time-consuming to maintain, consider opting for a layered look instead. Have your stylist create a fringe starting at the top of your cheekbones and flow seamlessly into longer lengths for an updated style that works for curly or straight locks and beachy or texturized textures. This style suits wavy hair or texturized waves just as quickly. If you want to channel Brigitte Bardot, try thick curtain bangs that sit near the center of your forehead and flow into a cascade of wavy or straight pieces that wrap around your face. This style works beautifully on long hair with texture or coils – adding volume, movement, and definition while keeping your look sleek. Option two would be having your stylist create a tapered fringe by cutting a triangular piece of hair and extending it toward the front of your face. This look can also be combined with side parts for more formal occasions.
Bombshell Bangs
If you want to add some sexiness to your hairstyle, full side-swept bangs could be just what the doctor ordered. They will accentuate eyebrows and cheekbones while creating an irresistibly gorgeous frame around your face. Baby bangs offer a more straightforward, less drastic solution. These straight-center bangs reach the center of your forehead for an unobtrusive yet striking change – an excellent option for people with round or oval facial features. An added bang to long wavy hair is ideal for creating a beachy, 1970s-style look that is effortless. This style will draw attention to your eyes and brows and is particularly flattering for square and heart-shaped faces. While this look may require frequent trims to maintain, committing to this look could pay off!
