The Bang Craze - What Bangs Look Best on You?

Bangs, bangs, bangs.  Seems like they are everywhere.  From Michelle Obama's new do, to celebrities, many are saying this is the new look for the new year. So, I've been thinking, should I give myself some bangs?  I love changing up my basic bob every now and then, but I want it to be right for me.

I recently came across an article that explained the right way to wear bangs for your face shape.  Here's what I found out.

If you have a square shaped face like me, side-swept bangs look best, though not pictured.

Heart shaped faces can opt for a soft edged bang.



A gentle arching bang works well with a round face.

Ovals can wear whatever they want and look great. Lucky ducks.


I have to admit, though I'm tempted to cut my hair, I probably won't.  So what do you think of the bang craze?  Will you jump on the bandwagon or let this one pass?

    This is so helpful! I don't think I will do the bangs, but MO sure knows how to start a trend!

    I agree! I have a round face and the arched bang does look best on me.

    The arching bangs work best for me… although they used to break my face out :/

      I used to wear bangs as a young girl. My mom would cut them real short and I'd have to put grease and water in them 'cause they would lay down. Ahh, memories...

    I love bangs from time to time. I am probably closest to Taraji's facial shape. I think they can compliment almost everyone.

    Bangs haven't worked on me like I'd like them to. I wore side-swept bangs in the 90s and liked them very much. My daughter had the cropped bangs and a sharp bob a couple of years ago... she had also dyed blonde and it looked fabulous. Bangs always look great on her, but she has a cute little round face. I have a large forehead so ya gotta be careful! LOL

      Lol. My friend always wore bangs to hide her forehead but now that she's older, she embraces it.

    I don't have any hair, but I think Michelle Obama looks gorgeous with her bangs. I'm all for women swtiching up and they grow back.

      I agree. Bangs are a great way to give yourself a new look with doing anything drastic.

    I think I need someone to tell me which kind of face I have so I pick the right kind of bangs. Sad, but true.
