Many of today's trendy hairstyles include wearing bangs. These fringes can be wispy or full, straight cut or angled, short or sweeping past the eyebrows. The tricky part, however, is that it can be difficult to know what type of bangs will look good on your face, and, once they're cut, they are gone!

To avoid a mistake you’ll be dealing with for a long, long time, the first step to choosing bangs is to consider the shape of your face. Different face shapes need different styles to highlight your best features and camouflage your weaker ones.

Oval Faces
The sky is the limit for those with oval-shaped faces. Nearly every hairstyle looks good on an oval-shaped face, and that includes bangs. So, whether you like them wispy and barely there, or you want the bold look of long angled bangs, with an oval-shaped face you can most likely pull it off. The only danger is making sure they aren’t too short. Since you can wear different hairstyles, you want to make sure you have enough hair left to pull back in case you want to try a new look.

Round Faces
If your face is round, you may want to try angled bangs to soften your wider cheek area. Another option that works well on a round face is a squared-off bang. Both these types of bangs add some angles that will diminish the roundness of your face. You can also offset a round face with choppy bangs that add different lengths and angles.
