For most Gen X-ers the bowl haircut was a reality at some point in your childhood. This meant bangs for everyone! Now let’s be honest you probably didn’t choose this look for yourself, but for mom it was about simple maintenance and the shape of your face was of no concern. For women bangs can make or break a look. Considering the shape of your face is the golden rule for bangs.
If you have a round face shortening the bangs in the middle will give length to your face making it look more oval. A wispy bang works best because more of the forehead will become visible. Going with an asymmetric bang is always a smart move for a rounder face.
Bangs are a great look for a long face. The longer the bang the better. Long bangs will give the illusion of a wider face ultimately making the face look less long. The bangs will cover a high forehead and will help achieve the perfect look.
The most versatile shape for all types of bangs is the oval face. Angled, short, razored, or heavy bangs all work for an oval face. The versatility of this face shape allows for a more fun and edgier look.
