Bangs/ Fringes for Round Faces

Bangs can make or break your look for a round face. Choose the best bangs for round faces to make sure the right features are accentuated for a flattering look.

Being afraid of bangs if you have a round face is silly. Find out which types of bangs work best for round faces and which hairstyles will flatter your features for a great look you'll be keen to try.

Blunt or heavy bangs/fringes do you no favors if you have a round face shape. When cut right, bangs can add sophistication to your hairstyle, but only if they're used to compliment your face, not enhance its rounded shape.

By far the best option when looking for the best bangs for round faces consists of side-swept bangs. They can elongate your face and give the highly appreciated oval look.

Celebrities like Cameron Diaz or Kirsten Dunst have used the side-swept bangs to their full advantage: drawing attention to one side of your face.

Side-swept is the best way to go for shorter and medium hair, but you can try some different bangs that can look equally good.

If you want piecey bangs that cover most of your forehead, but not in a heavy way, choose a longer hairstyle. When your do is layered and the hair touches your shoulders, your face is easily elongated to support fuller angled bangs.

Worn best by Nicole Richie, the angled bangs can be cut right about the eyelashes, but with an angled look, cut at the sides about three quarters of an inch.

Another great look if you face is round includes wispy bangs. When cut by an expert stylist, these bangs look airy and don't have the same shortening effect heavy bangs have on your face.

If you're tired of the bangs covering your forehead and you decide you'd rather have them side-swept, blow-dry them in the opposite direction of placement for a better look when set on the desired side of your face.

When you're bored of your look and willing to experiment with color, highlighted bangs can be used with great success on round faces. Get partial highlights for your bangs and the top layer of your hair. This can make for a great look since it draws attention away from your chin and grabs the eye in a pleasant way.

From bobs to layered shags, you can try a lot of medium hairstyles with bangs for round faces, but keep in mind that choosing the best bangs for your face shape is much more important than just picking up a magazine and choosing the look you want.

Wispy Bangs: Layered Bangs and Soft Fringes

Soft bangs are making a big impact in hair trends this year. Check out the best styles and different types of layered bangs and soft fringes.

Blunt bangs are out and that's great since they were never very flattering for most face shapes. Wispy bangs make for a much better look for most women. Try the latest trends of layered bangs and soft fringes, that can help you achieve the right look.

Long, soft bangs make for a much less severe cut and they're more versatile than classic thick bangs, easier to style both worn straight and side-swept.

Fortunately, wispy bangs flatter most shapes of faces. Perfect for a round face, shorter bangs elongate the face, but they can also soften angles for a square face.

Wispy long bangs work best for these face shapes and for the oval face, but they really give the best look for heart shaped faces, where blunt bangs are never an option.

Hair texture plays an important role too in choosing the right bangs, but wispy bangs are equally flattering for thin hair and for thicker hair.

Wispy long bangs are a perfect fit for many hairstyles, including shorter cuts like a bob or longer shags. The messy look and wispy fringes make for the best combination, but any wispy layered hairstyle is also suited to the wispy bangs.

If you choose really long bangs, make sure you have the time to get them regularly trimmed. The hottest look for these bangs is the one that hits right above the eyelashes, but will need regular maintenance to avoid becoming a nuisance.

Whether side-swept or worn straight, soft bangs are best suited for layered hairstyles. Soft fringes are a versatile look, but make sure layered bangs are done right by an experienced stylist for the best look.

Perfect for concealing a high forehead or lines on your forehead, long wispy bangs make for a great look if you have this hair and there are plenty of hairstyle options to pair them with. Angled bangs can work for bobs, shags and longer hairstyles, but long wispy bangs, choppy or layered can help you get a more sophisticated look.

Reese Witherspoon is the perfect example of long wispy bangs done right. The actress first tried them to cover a scar on her forehead, but stuck to this look that's also very flattering to her heart-shaped face.

Taylor Swift has also sported different variations of the wispy bang, that also worked well for Lea Michele and her beach waves or for Nicole Richie and her stylish long bob.
