From classic straight bangs to trendy curtain bangs.
Every now and then that urge strikes again: why not get your bangs cut? To ensure that you are fitted with a model that emphasizes your strengths, we have listed a set of useful tips. This way you will be well prepared for your appointment for that big change!
Shape of your forehead
Although bangs suit most people, there are also cases in which you should not opt for this hairstyle. The size of your forehead plays an important role in this. Do you have a fairly small forehead? Then there’s a good chance that bangs aren’t really your thing. Although you could always go for straight bangs – which can also be a match for people with a medium-sized forehead. People with a longer forehead should choose slightly shorter bangs. This accentuates the lines of your face, your eyebrows and your eyes. And that ensures that your face stands out even better.
Square face
Do you have a wide angular jawline and are your forehead and cheekbones the same width? Then you have a square face. A pony that suits you best is a messy pony such as a shaggy fringe or curtain bangs. This model ensures that the round shapes of your face appear softer. Bangs along your face also help soften your face.

Long face
If you want to disguise the length of your face, it is best to opt for straight bangs. A long blunt fringe is also a good choice because it makes your face appear shorter and wider. Or opt for dense bangs á la actress Jane Birkin, which will beautifully accentuate your face shape!

Round face
Do you have wide cheekbones and a wide jawline that makes your face look shorter? Then you have a round face shape. A round face looks great with layered bangs, because these bangs make your face look longer. Slanted bangs or slightly shorter straight bangs also make your cheekbones stand out even more beautifully.
