Short bangs, side bangs, wispy bangs, full bangs, thick bangs, blunt bangs... there are an alarming amount of options when it comes to bangs. I'll even go as far to say that deciding which type of bangs you want can be crazy overwhelming!

Remembering my first stunt as a hairstylist... I took some shiny scissors to my doll's bangs...it didn't turn out well and I was seriously upset. My next move was literally taping her hair back onto her head. It was atrocious. Needless to say, you can't do that to your own hair...so get a stylist to do the trimming!

And as we all know, it's difficult to hide bad bangs. Therefore, it's important that you find the most flattering bangs based on your face shape before chopping. You can't hide out in your house like you did as a child after you chopped your locks and were properly scolded. You have to go save the world, not hide a bad bang trim.



Most people typically look better with some sort of bang. Bangs can bring more attention to your eyes, which are beautiful! They also can cover foreheads, which can be nice if you have breakouts. Bangs also highlight cheek bones. Basically, bangs are a good thing but it's important to get the right ones.

Oval Face Shape with Blunt Bang

Researched the best kind for my oval face and made the drastic, but fun change! Luckily, oval face shapes are the easiest to get a good bang. Other face shapes can be a little more tricky...

Quick guide for best bangs for your face shape:

Heart shaped faces look great with side swept bangs. Swept bangs can bring some attention away from a more prominent pointy chin. Square faces look more feminine with some longer pieces. Wispy piecey bangs look good on round faces to give some definition and angles. Adding layers to hit around the cheekbones will actually thin out the face.

Things to Ponder Before Cutting your Bangs:

• Do you have any weird cowlicks? 
• Will you actually style these bangs each day? (poofy bang look is not in unfortunately)
• Can you handle them being down when you hit the gym?
• Does your hair look greasy quickly?
• Can you handle being...bangin'?

Be crazy and try out some bangs for yourself!
