Before cutting off your bangs, you need to understand what the chosen hairstyle detail will change in your appearance. The face can change quite dramatically: the look becomes open or mysterious; face shape - rounder or more elongated. Under a lock of hair, you can hide wrinkles, wide cheekbones, too high a forehead; to emphasize or mask the eyebrows.
A round face has a number of features that bangs can beautify:
- the width and length of the face are approximately the same;
- unexpressed chin;
- low forehead.
There are many types of bangs, sometimes the shape is invented right during the haircut by a talented hairdresser. But still, before going to the salon, you should decide what approximately you want to see.
The form
The following can be distinguished.
- Straight. The bangs from the crown of the head, classic, thinned, milled, can give the face an oval shape.
- Oblique. It comes in three versions: classic, elongated, lateral. Oblique bangs can make a round face look narrow, and rounded cheeks can be hidden. The bangs in this case will be a strand of hair that fits in the direction of one temple.
- "Curtain" (strands on two sides). The "curtain" can beautifully frame the round outlines of the face, making it more harmonious. It helps to hide chubby cheeks on both sides, so this bang line is very suitable for this type of appearance. The bangs "curtain" are classic and elongated.
- Torn. Torn bangs for a round face are rarely successful, as they visually increase the volume. If you wish, you can try to pick up the elongated version.
- Model creative bangs. Here, the imagination of the hairdresser and the model can offer a variety of variations: arch, wave, geometric shapes. Arcuate bangs visually adjust the shape of the forehead. Asymmetrical visually narrows the face at the sides. Today, trendy and bold haircut ideas are becoming more and more popular.
- Multilayer. A good solution if the hair is thin, but of good thickness. In this case, it is easy to make volume in the parietal part, visually stretching the face. The shape of such a bang can be any: both straight and beveled. The large number of layers makes the facial features more graceful, and the hairstyle becomes more interesting.
The size
There can also be many modifications of bangs in size.
- Short. This option is the choice of a very brave woman. She opens her whole face and draws attention to him. With a round face, experimenting with short bangs, you need to be careful. The shortened top strand above the forehead extends the face in length. The arched shape of the short strands will reduce the width of the cheekbones and lighten the jawline.
- Ultrashort. The length of the strands of the micro-bangs is no more than 4 cm. Young and courageous girls, in combination with such bangs, usually make a hedgehog haircut or romantic short hairstyles, which, in combination with large facial features, look charming. Ladies at a more interesting age often prefer strict haircuts, with which the micro-bang looks super-elegant. When choosing this type of strand, you need to remember that regrowth will be very noticeable, and you will need to correct the haircut often.
- Average bangs length visually makes the face heavier, so if you have a round face, then this option will not decorate it.
- Long bangs it does not look as bold and extravagant as the super-short one, but no less adds to the attractiveness of its owners. Its flowing lines hide the width of the face on the sides and give it softness to large features.
Variations here can be different: oblique, asymmetrical, "curtain" on two sides, torn, side with styling on one side, bangs that turn into a hairstyle, peekaboo - a trendy version that covers one eye, elongated. Almost any option will work for a round face.
It should be borne in mind that the ideal length will be just below the cheekbone line or a couple of centimeters above the chin.
Thickness
In the hands of an experienced hairdresser, bangs can be transformed by changing the thickness in a couple of minutes. The thickness of the bangs is often selected based on the structure of the hair.
- Thick. Dense bangs of straight hair visually extend the oval of the face. Bangs of this type are well suited to straight hair, if they curl, then they will have to be straightened regularly. Thinning the bottom edge will help avoid this. This will also soften the straight cut line and lighten the look.
- Rare. It is unlikely that it will be possible to choose a bang option with rare "feathers" for a round face. It opens the forehead and emphasizes the oval of the face. Graduating strands for a chubby girl can be light, adding volume and layering.
