Properly chosen bangs can significantly change the image of a woman, make her visually younger, emphasize the advantages and hide the flaws in her appearance.

Types of bangs and their features

Straight bangs

oblique bangs

It makes it possible to visually balance the proportions of a rectangular, as well as a square face. Bangs are suitable for long and short hairstyles. She is able to cause inconvenience to curly girls, as she quickly begins to “shaggy” and climb into her eyes. For this reason, oblique bangs are often done on straight or wavy hair. To obtain a clear graphic cut, sharp scissors are used. If you want to get a more airy version of the bangs, then thin out.

graduated bangs

Depending on the angle at which the master cuts the curls and the difference in length, the bangs can be made both soft and neat, and sharp and noticeable. Graduation helps to soften the features of a square, round and triangular face. It is often used by women who strive to look younger.

Volume bangs

But if you have thin hair, don't be discouraged: you can achieve visual splendor due to properly designed edging and a complex play with color (when using coloring or highlighting).

torn bangs

In all these cases, you must take into account that the haircut requires frequent correction and careful maintenance. Please note: since it is important that the cut of the haircut is clearly visible, it is advisable to do it not on light, but on dark hair.

Layered bangs

Adds volume and volume to hair. Bangs are straight and jagged. It is advisable to do it on thick and strong hair, because thin and weak hair will be unable to hold volume. It is more suitable for straight hair, because wavy hair will stand out. The straight type of multi-layered bangs goes to the owners of a square and round face, and the short one - to women with small features.

asymmetrical bangs

It can be short, opening most of the forehead (suitable for young girls or extravagant people), elongated (creates a feminine image), milled (gives the impression of additional volume).

Short bangs

Short and torn bangs give the impression of eccentricity, audacity and originality - which is why this type of haircut is often chosen by young girls from subcultures.

How to choose bangs

By face type

Oval. Any bang will suit him.

triangular. It is worth choosing a straight and oblique version of the bangs up to the eyebrow line or slightly lower. A short one will not work, as it emphasizes the cheekbones.

Square. To smooth out a heavy lower jaw and a massive forehead, take a closer look at asymmetrical bangs with graduation or layered. Thick and long bangs, as well as too short bangs, should be discarded.

Rectangular. To hide a high forehead and smooth out an elongated chin, a thick asymmetrical or straight bangs to the eyebrows are used. It is desirable that the ears be closed, but straight and long curls should be avoided. To soften angular features, an elongated oblique bang is also suitable.

Round. To divert attention from wide cheekbones, you can use oblique, asymmetrical or graduated bangs. Haircut silhouette should not be rounded. For example, sessun is categorically not suitable.

Heart-shaped. The best option for a triangular face is a graduated type of bangs with strands of different lengths.

Rhomboid. An elongated bang, combed to the side, is ideal.

Pear-shaped. Volumetric milled bangs will help balance the face.

A long nose will brighten up a lush bang.

If you have a small nose, give up the bangs, because it can still visually reduce it.

High forehead. Lush bangs will help hide this flaw.

Low forehead. Harmonizes with light bangs.

By hair type

Direct. All variations of bangs will suit you, but straight and curly look better.

Curly and wavy. They are in harmony with graduated and elongated bangs. Do you want perfectly straight strands to cover your forehead? Then you have to lay them down and straighten them with an iron.

Curly. If the curls are very naughty, you should refuse bangs or regularly use styling products and ironing.

Fatty. With an oily type of curls and facial skin, the hair will absorb sebum not only at the roots, but also from contact with the forehead. It is better to choose a voluminous (for example, elongated graduated) option, abandoning the straight bangs.

Dry. They are usually lighter and more airy, so stepped haircuts like a cascade with milled bangs work well. However, overly thinned ends should be avoided.

Thin. Haircuts with long, massive bangs, made with a blunt even cut, give the impression of thicker hair. Also used oblique bangs with laying on the side. Several strands with an interesting graduated structure look good.

Rigid. Since hard hair has a thick and dense structure, and is difficult to style, pay attention to the straight or elongated version of the bangs, which are combed to the side.

Rare. Liquid curls look good with bangs to the side, as well as with smooth or short milled.

Thick. Thick strands are usually heavier, so bangs that do not require additional styling and fixation are suitable. It can be classic straight, arched or layered options.

By type of haircut

Short haircuts

Bean. Suitable straight, oblique or long side bangs.

Kare. The graphic form of the haircut implies a straight bang, and for a voluminous square, a multi-layered, milled or voluminous one is suitable.

Garson. This hairstyle implies a slight negligence, so choose a short, asymmetrical or oblique bangs.

Long hair

Long bob, cascade, as well as graduated and smooth haircuts - all of them can be complemented by bangs. Depending on the shape of the face and hair, you can choose any type of bangs, guided by your taste and the advice of a stylist.

Most often, girls refuse bangs because they don’t know how to style them correctly. But if you figure it out, this activity will take little time and effort, but it will allow you to create a new image every day.

• Brushing styling. Style damp hair with a large round brush and blow dryer. In this case, it is desirable to stretch the strands, directing hot air from the bottom up, and then cold air from top to bottom. This will help your hair hold its shape better.
• Ironing. If you like raised or slightly curled bangs, use a flat iron. Direct it in such a way that the ends of the hair are slightly bent towards the forehead.
• If you have oblique long bangs, you can put a little styling product on it and direct the air stream from the hair dryer so that the hair lies beautifully on one side.
• Long bangs can be styled with curls. To do this, you need to use a curling iron.
• If you want to give your hair more volume, then it is better to choose bangs starting from the crown.
• It is better for low plump girls to refuse voluminous bangs, and for tall girls - from straight and long ones.

Do you really need bangs? Yes, if you check the box next to one of these items. Point one: the right bangs bring the shape of the face closer to the ideal, that is, oval. Point two: bangs draw attention to the eyes. Point three: hides transverse wrinkles on the forehead, which turns bangs into the most accessible and painless anti-aging therapy.

When deciding how to choose the right bangs, the hairdresser studies the structure of the hair and even takes into account the type of skin (excess sebum on the forehead will shorten the “freshness” period of the bangs). But the most important criterion is the shape of the face. There are seven main options, they can be combined with each other, like a puzzle. For example, a face can be round from the forehead to the lower cheekbones, with a pointed chin, or heart-shaped at the hairline with a square jaw. In this case, choose bangs depending on the dominant geometry or one that suits both shapes. To make it easier to understand, we have prepared detailed description and photos of celebrities with bangs for you and your stylist.

Circle

PHOTO Rex

GIVEN: In the moon-faced oval, the horizontal is equal to the vertical, there are no sharp corners. The widest part is the line of the cheekbones, the forehead and chin may be slightly narrower.

TARGET: Draw out the face, bringing the circle closer to the oval.

THE RIGHT DECISION: Oblique ragged bangs to the eyebrows eliminate roundness and create the illusion of height. Diagonal slanting bangs below the cheekbones and super-long curtain bangs with a slightly off-center parting also lengthen the face. They should end just above the jaw line, as shorter bangs will give the cheeks unnecessary plumpness. Another solution to the problem of “how to choose bangs” is a straight line a centimeter above the eyebrows with elongated side strands. The secret is in the graphics, which draw attention away from the soft lines of the face.

WRONG SOLUTION: Strongly thinned and too long bangs, haircuts a la Princess Diana and Bettie Page, bangs that start almost from the crown.

Oval

PHOTO Rex

GIVEN: The oval face shape is considered ideal because the width and length are in balance. Therefore, girls with an oval face have more freedom in choosing hairstyles.

TARGET: Do not spoil natural data.

THE RIGHT DECISION: Thick bangs covering the eyebrows (straight or lightly thinned) with rounded corners. Curtain bangs in the spirit of Brigitte Bardot. Oblique bangs without graduation, long enough to be combed behind the ear. Short tattered baby bangs paired with slightly curly long hair. Also for oval faces are ideal fashionable short haircuts with textured bangs to the middle of the forehead.

WRONG SOLUTION: Long thick bangs, both straight and in the shape of an arc, weight the face and hide the eyes. Also not your choice - curly and heavily thinned straight options, micro bangs (extremely short), straight baby bangs combined with a graphic bob or straight long hair.

elongated oval

PHOTO rex

GIVEN: The vertical is much larger than the horizontal. Forehead, cheeks and chin are the same width.

TARGET: Visually cut vertical.

THE RIGHT DECISION: Elongated faces seem to be made for wearing bangs. “Shorten” the face of the bangs, completely hiding the forehead or most of it. Straight options create a horizontal line that expands the face - choose the most thick bangs with a smooth or slightly ragged edge, barely covering the eyebrows. Long oblique bangs create a rounding effect. A Bardo bang with a straight or slightly offset parting is also a good option.

WRONG SOLUTION: Any short bangs, as well as "curtains" to the chin, stretch the face even more.

Triangle (pear)

PHOTO rex

GIVEN: A triangular or pear-shaped face is characterized by a narrow forehead and a wide jaw.

TARGET: Expand the top and narrow the bottom.

THE RIGHT DECISION: How to choose the right bangs? Thick bangs that cover the eyebrows with a straight or arched edge will add "weight" to the upper part of the face. A very rare bang will do an excellent job with this task, provided that it remains long. The bangs-curtain must be below the jaw, so as not to draw even more attention to this zone. Long oblique bangs (either at eye level or up to the chin) “break” the triangle and stretch the face. An architectural bang is also suitable, pulled up in the form of a wave or like a mohawk, if it is wider than the jaw line.

WRONG SOLUTION: Avoid straight partings - they will accentuate the pear shape. Curly strands will create additional volume.

inverted triangle

PHOTO rex

GIVEN: The face in the form of an inverted triangle has the widest part - the forehead, the narrowest - the chin (usually pointed).

TARGET: Disguise a massive top or create the illusion of width at the bottom.

THE RIGHT DECISION: Bangs perfectly hide a wide forehead. For example, oblique without graduation or with it up to the cheekbones or laid behind the ear. Thinned straight bangs up to the bridge of the nose and a “curtain” with a straight parting cover the forehead only partially, balancing the top and bottom. "Curtain" with a slightly offset parting length to the line of the mouth perfectly expands the lower part of the face. Short ragged bangs are good complete with pixie haircuts.

WRONG SOLUTION: Very rare straight, as well as very long oblique options draw attention to the chin. Long, straight, thick bangs weigh down the upper part of the face, and super-short torn strands open a wide forehead.

Square and Rectangle

PHOTO rex

GIVEN: It's simple: in a square, the length and width are equal, in a rectangle, the length is slightly longer. Distinctive features of both forms are a heavy, angular jaw.

TARGET: Soften facial features by creating the illusion of roundness.

THE RIGHT DECISION: Bangs a la Brigitte Bardot covers the forehead on both sides, rounding the face. A thick bang with a torn edge, unlike a straight bang, does not duplicate the lower horizontal. This option is good both with loose hair and with it pulled back (in this case, leave a few strands near the face). If you have a bob or an elongated bob, choose long oblique bangs.

TARGET: The rhombus is easiest to bring closer to the oval, and that's what we'll do. The second task is to hide the narrow hairline.

THE RIGHT DECISION:"Curtains" covering the temples with a straight parting are also good because they hide the abundance of hair on the sides of the forehead. If you do not have such a problem, oblique bangs up to the middle of the cheekbone will suit you. For boyish hairstyles, cut short, ragged bangs and style them up.

WRONG SOLUTION: Any straight bangs expand the line of the cheekbones. Side-swept bangs reveal a narrow hairline.

Heart

The shape of the "heart" is determined by the hairline - it forms the letter "V". This is just a feature that does not affect the choice of bangs (a feature, by the way, is so rare that Kim Kardashian decided to have laser hair removal above her forehead). Therefore, heart-shaped faces can also be round, rectangular, and any other. Bangs are selected based on this.

Bangs never go out of fashion, it is only complemented by new options, it allows you to even better highlight the advantages of the face and hide the flaws. But all this only works if you choose the right look for it. Having learned how to choose a bang according to the shape of your face, also taking into account all the features of caring for such a hairstyle, you can safely decide to change the style.

Due to the versatility of this type, you can experiment with any variations. If the outlines of the face are more oval-rectangular, you should avoid small strands near the forehead, because they will only lengthen the face.
Round	The owners of this type of face occasionally go for bangs, but you can experiment with very small variations or asymmetrical models that will help visually lengthen the face.	A pronounced round shape is not ideal for such a hairstyle. Or give up this decision, or choose short or torn options.
triangular	The best solution would be thick bangs to the eyebrows. You can also give preference to sparse arcuate forms of strands that will complement the romantic and business style. They will also help soften the angular features of the face, if any.	Smooth strands at the forehead can highlight the sharpness of the chin or angularity, they are best avoided.
Square	Asymmetrical bangs will be a suitable option, which will soften the corners and make the proportions more correct.	Long, straight forms of forehead hair should be avoided because they can highlight angularity.
