Face Shapes And Bangs

Bangs may be a great way to highlight your eyes or hide your forehead wrinkles, but they may play a more important role, that of improving your face aspect altogether, if, as it happens, your forehead is too tall or your face is not perfectly oval, as wished. If, happily, the latter is so, you are free to adopt any bangs you like. The best example would be the oval-faced, with medium-sized forehead, Marilyn Monroe, who managed to look naughty and seductive with rather short curled bangs in ‘The Seven-Year Itch’, innocent and (unaware) attractive, with slightly bent ones, below the eyebrows, in ‘Some Like It Hot’, and mysteriously sad, with straight ones, swept to one side, in ‘The Misfits’.

While classic, blunt bangs are the best background for beautiful eyes (it’s enough to see the otherwise Zoeey Deschanel in ‘500 Hundred Days of Summer’), when short and accompanied by a likewise bob, hugging the cheeks, they are also the best for reducing the roundness or fullness of a face, by increasing the feel of a taller forehead, while the short bob can hide the roundness, seemingly elongating the face. The best illustration is, no doubt, Catherine Zeta-Jones in ‘Chicago’. The same movie provides an illustration of the effect of bangs on square faces, like that of Renee Zellweger, the side-swept curly bangs softening all the angles, so much so as to make her look like a (fallen) angel.

As for heart-shaped or triangular faces, bangs, especially if wispy or swept to one side, could also restore the perfect oval ‘equilibrium’, if we just have a look at the perfectly gorgeous appearance of Reese Witherspoon, having otherwise quite a prominent chin. But, of course, bangs are mostly advantageous for long faces, especially if long themselves and layered, and blurring as it were the outline of the sides, as do the parted ones sported by Sarah Jessica Parker in ‘Sex and the City’ (more precisely, in ‘A Vogue Idea’).

But for bangs to change your face aspect effectively, the haircut has to be completed by the right manner of blow drying them, as you could certainly find out, if visiting Windle and Moodie. Nothing could work better for dynamism and bend than a round brush or, for a sleek straightened look, than a flat iron. Besides, hair products are of most importance for keeping them in place, like, for instance, a hairspray, if your hair tends to get frizzy, or a texturizer, if, on the contrary, it gets easily completely relaxed, that is, flat and unspectacular.

Of course, the professional hairstylist will know how to start, by blowing dry the bang roots, using a brush meanwhile to mold them as desired, but, after all, you don’t wash your hair every day and, after sleeping on it, it will certainly lose shape. That is why to keep the appropriate styling products handy is paramount. With the trends in hairstyles right now favoring long flowing hair (for a romantic or relaxed look) or bobs (for an intellectual or corporate appearance), bangs are in no danger of losing their popularity.
