“If your hair is fine or thin, a heavy fringe may not work because there isn't enough weight for the hair to lay in place. Thick hair may have trouble with a baby bangs because it would need to be thinned out a lot to lay flat.
If You Have a Round Face: Round faces are identifiable by full, wide cheeks. For these face shapes, straight bangs are a big no-no, as they accentuate your face's fullness.
However, if your face is not perfectly oval and has rounded cheeks, avoid short bangs, since such cut will emphasize their fullness even more. In this case you should choose medium-long hair and the parted or side-swept bangs.
We're here to tell you that, in fact, bangs can look good on everyone, but if you want to make sure your fringe doesn't turn out to be a disaster, you want to keep your face shape in mind: Square or heart-shaped faces look best with wispier, feathered fringe to add softness.
While blunt bangs can make round faces look a little squat, side-swept bangs move the eyes diagonally across your face. The angled fringe helps make your face appear longer and, therefore, thinner.
The blunter the bangs the more your face will look rounder. On the other hand, if you fringe the bangs shorter in the middle and longer on the edges, you'll get the slimming look you desire. Like long hair and asymmetrical bobs, having face framing layers will elongate your face for a slimming look.
An oval face is a very good face shape for bangs, the styling options are unlimited. Straight-across oval face bangs, cropped baby bangs for an oval shape face, piece-y thick fringes, short layered bangs, oval face wispy bangs, etc.
Do bangs flatter every face shape? “The most flattering bangs create an oval face shape,” says Townsend. So, if you naturally have an ovular face, you have a larger variety of bang styles to choose from. If your face is square or oblong, “You'll want to try A-shaped bangs or longer layers,” he says.
Tinder experiment: Bangs make you more attractive
She then repeated the process once she cut them. The results? Without bangs, she received 48 matches and with bangs she received 84. Not exactly conclusive for all women, but noteworthy nonetheless.
If you originally cut your own bangs with household scissors or any pair that's too blunt, those could be the reason your self-cut bangs didn't come out quite right. "Most people cut too much hair at a time and use dull scissors," explains New York City hairstylist Erickson Arruntegui.
Yes, you can get them redone.
No, you can't grow your bangs out in a day. But if you hate the way your new fringe looks, try adding layers around your face. "Adding angles can really make your bangs less offensive. It'll frame your face much more nicely," said Lima.
Consider your hair texture

Bangs can add a youthful quality to your face by making it appear smaller. But be careful to not have a bang that is too short. You want your bangs to come down long enough over your forehead so they don't accentuate any fine lines around your eyes.
Do bangs make you look younger? Bangs can add personality and youth to a person's appearance, but not all bangs have the same effect. Blunt bangs can draw attention to the middle of someone's face, which may or may not reveal their age.
How long does it take to grow out bangs? According to Onur-Taylor, it typically takes bangs three to four months to grow out—depending on the fringe style, the length you're starting with, and how fast your hair grows (which, on average, is half an inch per month). Good hair day by @sabinasocol.
The only difference between Fringes and Bangs is where you live. If you live in America you have bangs, if you live anywhere else in the world you have a fringe....the term bangs originally referred to a haircut bang-off (straight across at the front), although the term is now applied to diverse forms of hair stylings.
A heavier fringe that flows across the forehead straight across or side swept is a great option for someone who has a long face shape. This helps to visually make the face appear shorter and more oval.
Avoid blunt or short bangs as they will emphasize your nose. Side-swept bangs are a great choice for a large nose and high forehead. Your hair can be pinned back to distract from your large nose. For a natural look, separate your hair into strands.
Like any accessory, bangs should enhance your features, not overwhelm them. For long and narrow faces, "blunt fringe that hits below the brows will make your face look fuller," explains hairstylist and co-founder of R+Co, Garren. If your face is round or square, try bangs just above the brows, he says.
Bangs for a small forehead highlight the angles of the face, bringing out your best features. They make for a fresh and stylish upgrade without causing too much drama.
If you're not sure you're ready to commit to straight-across bangs, long, side-swept bangs also flatter round faces. This fringe style help create the illusion of an elongated face.
Color your hair darker around your face.
"Lighter tones open up the face, making it appear wider, while darker tones are slimming," says Dubre. So keep the strands closest to your face a shade or two darker than the others, he suggests.
