Bangs 101
Let’s talk about the different type of bangs that you can choose from and which ones fit you best:
These bangs are best for straight, thick hair. Blunt bangs are cut across in a dramatically straight manner which ends right before your eyebrow. These bangs perfectly cover your whole forehead.
It has been going around for a while now and only few can actually rock ‘em at the perfect length. It can be tricky to style, but works best for framing and giving the face some slimming effect.
Full of texture, the choppy bang is the thinner version of blunt bangs, covering your forehead, but not as much as the latter. Looks detailed and more edgy as well. Short choppy bangs will give you a softer and more feminine look than long length ones.
The side swept bangs forms a diagonal chunk of hair from one side of your hair ending at the other side across your forehead. This one's a classic and considered by many as a type of bangs that’s really easy to style. It can be a styled in a subtle and soft manner or a daring one (don’t lie you used to rock this during your emo phase).
It’s similar to the blunt bangs except it arched, as the name indicates, which follows your face’s natural curvature, exposing more of your facial feature in a flattering manner.
Wispy bangs has always been a red carpet favorite. We’ve seen a lot of artists rocking this type. It’s more on the safe side because it looks like normal stray hairs which you can still hide and combine with your hair.
Let’s give it to the Koreans for rocking this type of bangs best. It radiates a very feminine vibe and also requires the least maintenance and effort. These bangs are so soft and thin that it would pass as long baby hairs!
Pick out the best bangs for your face shape
Round
Getting the right bangs for your face shape can be a bit tricky. We suggest getting side swept bangs that are cut in a hard and thick angle which will give you the illusion of a longer face shape. Stay away from straight cut bangs as it will accentuate the face’s circular shape.
Oval
Girl, you may skip this part because any bangs will work and will look good on you. Talk about #blessed! Think about it, you can rock different type of bangs every month!
Heart
Go for long length bangs or fringe and have them layered. You can rock the parted fringe, side or wispy bangs as long as you don’t cut them too short! Don’t even think about getting full fringe bangs if you don’t want to accentuate your forehead.
Square
Opt for bangs that graze your eyes that extend and tapered to the sides which will soften the your hard facial angles. You can choose between side swept, wispy and arched bangs, just make sure that bangs are longer on the side and bangs at the center will fall just a bit below your brows.
