Should you get bangs? An existential question if there ever was one and, if you ask us, a decision that is best left to the discretion of your hairstylist. However emotionally, physically and life-altering bangs can prove to be, your face cut must be taken into consideration before you pick up the scissors and take the plunge.
Which type of bangs would suit my face cut?
Bangs can drastically change one’s appearance, enough to offer the promise of an altered personality. But, the type of personality they come with has a lot to do with the face cut you have.

Round face
Round faces are characterised by fullness and width at the cheekbones along with a soft, rounded chin. The width and length of a round face are typically proportional, and the forehead and jawline are less pronounced. If you have a round face with soft curves and a broad forehead, go for long, side-swept bangs that start at the temples to create the illusion of length.
Oval face
Oval faces have balanced proportions with a slightly curved jawline. An oval face is longer than it is wide and has a gently rounded hairline. The forehead is slightly wider than the chin and the cheekbones are typically high and well-defined. This shape is considered to be the most versatile and flattering. If you have an oval face, you can wear various bang styles – from short and blunt to long and side-swept – while still acing the whole bold and mysterious look. Our pick for you?

Square face
Square faces come with a strong jawline, a wide forehead, and a straight or square hairline. The width of the forehead, cheekbones, and jawline are approximately the same, creating a square or boxy appearance. If you have a square face, that just means you are blessed with a defined, angular jawline. For you – soft, wispy bangs that start slightly above the eyebrows.
Heart-shaped face
Heart-shaped faces are characterised by a wider forehead and cheekbones that taper down to a narrower, pointed chin, creating a shape that resembles a heart or inverted triangle. The forehead is typically the widest part of the face, while the jawline is narrow and pointed. This facial shape is often considered to be feminine and delicate. If you have a heart-shaped face, long, side-swept bangs that start at the cheekbones will surely take a toll on all the hearts out there.
Long face
Long faces have an elongated shape and a narrow width. This facial shape has a high forehead, a narrow and sometimes pointy chin, and a lengthened appearance. The cheekbones may be high while the face may be vertical. If you have a long face, short, choppy bangs that hit the eyebrows can help to create the illusion of width and turn this world into your runway.
