How would it feel to finally see yourself with bangs?
Well, you no longer need to wonder about it because we are making it happen for you. Here, we have enlisted a few of the main face shapes and the bangs that would best suit them. So read on and enjoy!
We know all the ladies out there cannot wait to try out our suggested bangs, but before that, they need to have an in-depth understanding of their own face shapes. All you have to do is focus on your jaws, forehead, and cheekbones as features that make up the shape of your face.
1. Oval-shaped faces:
People with oval shaped faces tend to have wider foreheads. Additionally, they have elongated faces, with their cheekbones not as wider than others.
2. Square Shape
Women with square-shaped faces have equal width and length. You can notice a strong jawline, properly angled. The chin, however, does not have any curve, making the face look like a perfect square with right-angled corners.
3. Round Shape
Women with round face shapes do not have strong cheekbones that can easily be flaunted. Due to the flatness of these bones, the face looks rather rounded and the similarity of the width and the length further adds to it. You cannot find any accentuated angles on such faces, but only softer angles.
4. Heart-shaped faces
Heart-shaped faces are blessed with a gracefully pointed and slim chin and a wider forehead. The width of the cheekbones is less thanthe width of the forehead, giving the face more of an inverted triangle shape.
5. Oblong or rectangle-shaped faces
Women with oblong faces tend to have a sideways-tilted rectangle face. It means that the width of their forehead, cheekbones and chin is equal to each other and the face is rather elongated than any other face.
6. Diamond Shape
As the name implies, such-shaped faces tend to have smaller or narrower foreheads with high cheek bones. They are also blessed with a very pointy chin, which adds to their facial grace, beauty, and elegance.
Apart from the shape of the faces, another factor that plays a key role in determining which bangs to choose are the shapes of your forehead. But Ladies, have you ever observed what your forehead looks like? If not, here's a guide to determining it.
1. Longer Forehead
Women with longer foreheads often feel insecure about it and want to distract focus from it. Therefore, they seek fashionable bangs that can do the trick. One such example is the chic, blunt bangs that are known for giving an edgy and bold look while doing its task impeccably.
2. Shorter Foreheads
Well, we don't want our faces to be hidden behind those bands, do we? Hence, soft side-swept bang is often the go-to choice for women with shorter foreheads, as it draws focus to the face while catering to your excitement for bangs.
Now that we have explored all the face shapes and the types of foreheads that we generally see around us, we can now choose the bangs that are suitable for our particular face shape. But with the plethora of options out there, it can get a little overwhelming and, let's be honest, a little exhausting as well. Here are some options that we are sure are perfect for the face shapes they have been curated for.
1. Oval
For oval faces, a blunt bang is the ideal choice. It covers the forehead perfectly while framing right above the eyebrows, highlighting your cheekbones, jaws, and chin. Moreover, with wider foreheads, women feel secure with bangs that cover their foreheads, shedding light on their best features.
2. Square
When you have strong jaws to flaunt, wouldn't you want all eyes drawn to it? Of course, you would. A wispy fringe bang is a lot softer than blunt ones and has a feathered look, which adds tenderness to otherwise stern features of a square face.
3. Round Shape
Round-shaped faces are undoubtedly adorable but what can make it look elongated to add structure is a side-swept bang. In this style, you must add soft bangs with a side part, sweeping the bangs to the side and highlighting one side of your face.
4. Heart-shaped faces
Layered Side bangles are the perfect choice for you, drawing all attention to the middle and lower part of your face. Remember, the bangs should be styled to fall right above your cheekbones, to shroud your wider forehead and accentuate your tiny and pointy chin.
5. Oblong Shape
If you already have a long face, you would only want to highlight it and not cover it up. But what can add to the beauty and pleasantness of the favila structure are A-shaped bangs. This is because it does not hide the actual structure of your face but rather makes it more prominent.
6. Diamond Shape
Women with diamond-shaped faces are blessed with the best facial structure, with the size of the forehead and chin being the prettiest part. Hence, hiding it away with bangs would not be ideal. But if you really want one, you can opt for baby bangs. These are really hard to pull off, but with your facial features, you can do it. Just remember to add softness and texture to it for a pleasing effect.
Ladies, we hope our collection of bangs for every face shape will help you find your best look and wow everyone with a hairstyle makeover.
