What Style Of Bangs Suit You?

When selecting the style of bangs for your wig, it's important to select one that suits your face shape. Here are common types of face shapes and the type of bangs that would suit them:

1. Square Face

The primary features of a square face include a high forehead, prominent chin, wide and square-shaped jawline, and a straight hairline. A square face is characterized by these traits. When it comes to adding bangs, square faces come out on top every time.

Choppy bangs, ideally long and side-swept or trimmed diagonally, should be worn since they will give the appearance of a longer face and a softer overall appearance to the features. If you want your face to appear more angular and sharp, steer clear of blunt and arching bangs and choose instead for bangs with straight lines.

2. Round Face

A round face is characterized by prominent cheekbones that are difficult to see, a rounded jawline, and facial features that appear to be flattened out. Side-swept bangs are the most flattering hairstyle option for people who have round faces with softer angles and bigger cheeks. Avoid straight bangs. In addition to providing you with a wide range of styling possibilities, these bangs will give the impression that your face is longer.

3. Long Face

Most of the time, a high forehead and a lengthy chin are what characterize a face that is considered to be long. Heavy bangs on your brow line or just slightly above it will do the trick to provide the appearance of a balanced length to your face. This is the look that will work best for you. Your chin will no longer be the focal point of attention thanks to these bangs, which will restore balance to your face by emphasizing the middle of your face instead.

4. Heart-Shaped Face

People with heart-shaped faces are broad at the top and come to a point at the chin; as a result, they have to take extra care when it comes to emphasizing their best features. 

Because of this, the ideal bangs should be wispy fringe, with a length that is longer at the borders and shorter in the middle. Your chin's natural curvature will be brought out by these bangs, which will also have the effect of lengthening your face from the forehead down.

5. Oval Face

A person with an oval face typically has a thin or slightly oblong face with prominent cheekbones, a rounded jawline, and a broad forehead. If your face is longer than it is wide, and your chin is strong and round, you have an oval face shape. This gives your face the benefit of symmetry, which is a desirable trait. Because of these characteristics, nearly every kind of bang will look good on you.
