Oblong face shapes are a perfect match for blunt-cut bangs.Square or heart-shaped faces look best with wispier, feathered fringe to add softness.We're here to tell you that, in fact, bangs can look good on everyone, but if you want to make sure your fringe doesn't turn out to be a disaster, you want to keep your face shape in mind: 'They are generally worn at four different points on the face: above the brows, at eye level, at cheekbone level and at the jawline.' 'Bangs can be a chic and stylish way to compliment your face shape and have a similar effect to contour in makeup when it comes to hair styling,' according to Los Angeles-based hairstylist Anthony Montoya. In reality, there are so many different haircuts with bangs out there to flatter every type of hair length and texture. The problem is, when you say 'bangs,' a lot of people's minds go right to thick, cut-straight-across fringe with no definition or shape. Depending on who you ask, bangs are either an amazing idea or a terrible idea.
