Bangs aren't just for wide foreheads—everyone can rock them! Select based on face morphology and hair type.
For a round face, try tapered bangs at eyebrow level. Small or square faces suit short, side-swept styles. Long faces benefit from longer bangs. Oval or heart-shaped faces? All types work.
Fine hair: Opt for high, straight, or side bangs for volume. Thick or voluminous hair, plus curly or textured types, shine with curtain or lightly tapered bangs.
Still unsure if bangs suit you? Experiment confidently—hair grows back fast!
