Oval face
It is a type of face with fairly balanced proportions, making it the perfect structure for almost any type of bangs. If your face is oval, you're in luck! Whether short, long, curtain style, thick, straight, or open straight… all options are recommended.
Round face
In this type of face, the length and width are of similar dimensions, which gives it a rounded appearance to the face. The features and bone structure are not too pronounced, and the overall facial structure is quite soft.
People with this type of face reflect sweetness and youthfulness. They usually have good results with asymmetrical bangs combined with long hair.
Square face
People with this type of face usually have harsher and straighter features. The main characteristic of their facial structure is that they have a forehead and jaw of similar width.
In these cases, it is advisable to soften the facial lines through the hairstyle. For this purpose, the long, trimmed bangs is a great ally to lighten the face. Make sure to choose lighter colors to accompany the optical effect on your face.
Elongated face
Especially on elongated faces, bangs can be a great option to balance the verticality characteristic of this type of facial structure. To complete the look, the ideal is a long hairstyle with waves that contrasts with the straight lines of the facial structure.
Regarding the type of bangs, women with long faces should not be afraid to choose abundant and thick bangs, and even, a straight and well-defined fringe above the eyebrows.
Heart-shaped face
This type of facial structure is also known as inverted triangle. The most notable feature of the heart-shaped face is a wide upper part, with prominent cheekbones and forehead, and a narrow but defined jawline.
In these cases, and with the aim of widening the jaw through an optical effect, it is highly recommended to opt for medium-length hairstyles. Regarding bangs, those of curtain-style trimmed can quite harmonize the face. Also bangs with volume, thick and heavy.
Diamond face
Women with a ‘diamond’ face type have well-defined cheekbones and chins. To balance this type of facial structure, it is common to resort to the side bangs with the part to one side.
Rectangular face
This type of face is mainly characterized by a longer than wide structure. In these cases, the cheekbones tend to be high and the features are not too pronounced.
To balance the face, the ideal is to choose layered bangs, medium-length hair and shorter hairstyles, above the shoulder. Don't miss our post about when to cut your hair according to the phases of the moon. It's super interesting!
In which cases bangs are not recommended
Although it may seem that there is a type of bangs for every kind of face, the truth is that there are certain exceptions where this type of cut is not recommended.
-
In triangle-shaped faces: this facial structure is characterized by having a much narrower forehead than the lower part. Choosing bangs, of any type, will only accentuate this feature. To visually widen the upper part of the face, the best is to do it with wavy and voluminous hairstyles, but always without bangs.
-
If your hair is very fine: if your hair is very fine, it is likely that the bangs you get won't be thick enough to cover your forehead and will constantly part, creating a visually unattractive effect. Opt to add volume to your hairstyle through layered cuts or trims.
- In cases of oily skin: if you have acne, you should know that bangs can accumulate a lot of oil on the upper part of your face, which will probably cause more pimples on your forehead. Avoid it at all costs if this is your case!
