Description
If you're considering getting bangs, one of the questions that may be running through your mind is: do bangs make your face rounder? The answer is not a straightforward yes or no. It depends on a few factors, such as the shape of your face and the type of bangs you choose.
How to
The first step in determining whether bangs will make your face rounder is to identify your face shape. There are six basic face shapes: oval, round, square, heart, diamond, and long. If you're not sure what your face shape is, take a picture of yourself facing forward with your hair pulled back, and trace the outline of your face on the photo.
Step by step
Once you've identified your face shape, you can then select the right type of bangs that will flatter your features. Here are some tips:
- Oval face: Oval faces can pull off almost any type of bangs, from blunt to side-swept.
- Round face: Avoid blunt bangs that end at your eyebrows, as they will make your face look rounder. Instead, opt for side-swept bangs that start from the middle of your forehead.
- Square face: Soften your strong jawline with curved or wispy bangs that are longer on the sides.
- Heart-shaped face: Balance out your wider forehead with side-swept bangs that taper down to a shorter length at the sides.
- Diamond-shaped face: Highlight your cheekbones with long, side-swept bangs that start from the top of your head.
- Long face: Create the illusion of width with blunt bangs that end just above your eyebrows.
Tips
When getting bangs, make sure to communicate with your stylist to ensure that you both have the same vision. Bring in pictures of the type of bangs you want, and be open to their suggestions based on your face shape and hair type.
FAQ
Q: Will straight across bangs make my face look rounder?
A: Straight across bangs can make your face look rounder if you have a round face shape. Opt for side-swept bangs that start from the middle of your forehead instead.
Hair Care
When styling your bangs, blow dry them in the direction you want them to go while using a round brush to create volume. If you have oily skin, be sure to wash your bangs frequently to avoid breakouts. And if you're growing out your bangs, try using bobby pins or hair clips to keep them out of your face as they grow.
