Finding the Right Fringe for Your Face Shape

A Fringe (bang) can completely transform your look and add more dimension to your hairstyle, but committing to a fringe might be a big step—especially if you aren’t sure what type of fringe would be best to complement your features. There are many possible looks when it comes to fringes from airy and light to bulky and dramatic, and the best look will be one that matches the shape of your face. Below you can get a closer look at some styles that will be best for different faces so that you know exactly what to ask for at your next visit to the stylist.

Go short for a round or square face

Round and square faces are best suited for a short fringe bang, which will draw attention to the eyes, elongate the face, and offer a more youthful look. Round faces in particular benefit from a fringe, since bangs can add a more angular appeal.

Consider a longer fringe for oval faces

An extra-long fringe (bang) tend to be the most fitting style for those with oval or long faces. With this face shape, a fringe that extends below the brow with a light texture on the end will be a fashion-forward style that creates a flirty, romantic look.

Use dramatic looks for heart shaped faces

While you might shy away from a thick, a strong fringe with a heart shaped face, this look can actually be a uniquely stylish choice when executed properly. Otherwise, a choppy fringe will bring softness to the face for a distinctive look.

Choose a side swept fringe for a short forehead

Shorter foreheads do not rule out the possibility of a fringe. In fact, a longer side swept fringe can add length to the forehead and balance your features.
