The Best Hairstyles with BangsIf you're thinking about getting bangs, here's the key: You have to find a hairstyle that'll flatter your face shape. Here's the info you need |
If you have a square face... Characteristics: Angular jawbone and hairline
Best bangs for you: Full, blunt fringe
Square shapes can definitely wear a full fringe, says Thomas. The bangs shouldn't be cut too far towards the outer edge of the eyes -- they have to be kept narrower in the center. "As a guide, I like to use the top of the eyebrow arch to the other eyebrow arch, but not any farther," he explains. He also suggests adding layers that hit below your chin, which will help elongate your face.

Taylor Swifts bangs are the best. They couldn't be more flattering. Why aren't her bangs included in this?
