Bangs are strands or locks of hair long enough to fall over the front hairline of your face and cover the forehead. Usually, they are cut just above the eyebrows. Sometimes, however, they can even cover the eyes.
Bangs work best on oval face shape, and long face. Truth be told, bangs can flatter every face shape.
However, some styles are a little more flattering for some faces than others. Before you get bangs, it would be nice to consider the best styling techniques including how to blow dry your bangs.
You have to know that bangs are a high-maintenance hairstyle, as it requires constant care. With that in mind, bangs are perfect for a long face, as they can hide your big forehead.
Bangs can also make your face appear shorter. Consider these things before trying bangs.
Now, with that in mind, here are several bangs ideas you can try.
