Since forever, (5th grade, to be exact), I’ve always rocked bangs. They were a great way to minimize my huge forehead. Over the years, I let them grow out a little, but recently I decided to bring them back. I wanted a mini-makeover, so I opted for a blunt bang. I have an oval shaped face, and usually any style of bangs can be worn for oval shapes. So, I’ve been having fun rocking every look from choppy to swept, up dos to bone straight.
If you’re thinking about giving bangs a try, here are some great tips on finding the right bangs for your face shape:
BLUNT BANGS
Worn just below the eyebrow these forehead bangs are cut precisely straight across from side to side. Oval shaped faces can be strengthened by opting for a blunt brow hugging bang that softly caress the sides of the face
ASYMMETRICAL BANGS
These bangs will have widely varied lengths with one side being a lot shorter than the other side or the middle being a lot shorter than either side.
SIDE SWEPT BANGS
Cut so that the hair tapers from shorter to longer lengths and is extended generally from a side part with the hair brushed to sweep across the forehead. Side swept bangs are best on heart-shaped or square faces and the hair length for this look should be shoulder length or longer.
CHOPPY BANGS
Choppy bangs are another version of blunt bangs, yet, these bangs are often cut with a scissors and then texturized for a choppy look. Choppy bangs provide increased depth to the facial features and are perfect for round faces.
