Bangs for Your Face Shape
Adding bang extensions to a hairstyle is like adding drama to your life. When people look at you, they're going to be immediately drawn to your face, which is a good thing if that's what you want - otherwise, you might find yourself overwhelmed with the amount of attention you're attracting. But if bang hair extensions are for you and it's time for an update, consider picking something trendy and stylish such as a blunt fringe or side-swept wisps. We'll take the guesswork out of this decision by helping you figure out which style works best with your face shape!
If You Have a Round Face
A round face is identifiable by full, wide cheeks. For these face shapes, curtain bangs are a big no-no because they accentuate your face's fullness. But there are different ways to wear bangs clip in hair extensions and you might still be able to pull them off. Go for thick, side-swept bangs or as shown in the examples of Kirsten Dunst's angled bangs and Emma Stone's side-swept auburn locks, but it's important to check with a stylist before making a final decision because it does not suit all round faces all the time.
If You Have an Oval Face
If you have an oval face, then congratulations! You're one of the lucky ones who can pull off any hairstyle. Oval faces are the most versatile, so feel free to experiment with short or long bang extension depending on the look you're going for. Check out the celebrity styles of Jennifer Lawrence and Katy Perry if you need some inspo (inspiration).
If You Have a Square Face:
Square shaped faces have a defined jawline with equal width and height, as well as an even forehead. For these face shapes you will want to avoid having extensions for bangs are short because this is going to pull your face straight down towards their length. Instead, go for long, heavy bangs that go just below the eyebrow or almost covering your forehead completely. You can style them into a side fringe, stack them on top of each other, or even split them down the middle and wear them straight across. In celebrity style, check out how Keira Knightley has worn her bangs both straight across and side swept. Also see how she’s paired the look with long or short haircuts . Check out how Kate Hudson’s bangs nicely frame her face (on her square-shaped face).
If You Have a Long Face and/or High Forehead:
This face shape is similar to the oval, but it has a less pointed chin and relatively broad cheekbones. To complement this face shape, don’t get baby bangs or short bangs because they will only make your face appear longer. Instead get long front and side swept bangs which you can spike up or curl for a really glam style! For celebrity look at Alexa Chung with her schoolgirl peekaboo fringe , or Kendall Jenner with her long side swept fringe.
If You Have a Heart-Shaped Face:
If you have a wider forehead and a pointed jaw with a small chin, then your face is heart-shaped. Avoid full-fringe bangs because they will make your face look even wider. Instead go for curtain bangs to draw attention to your eyes and the middle of your face. Angle the cut from the eyebrow to the top of the cheekbones and make sure your hair hits below the eyebrows in order to create an oval shape. Your celebrity style reference is Reese Witherspoon whose bangs balance out her heart-shaped face, so try re-creating them yourself
Just remember to have a hair extension care routine for perfect results!!
