Bangs are an element of hairstyles that many women like to use. She makes the image more expressive and complex, gives femininity. Properly selected shape and length will help to correct flaws and emphasize the advantages of appearance.
Truly round facial contours are rare enough, beauty industry experts advise their owners to visually stretch the shape so that it approaches the oval shape. In many ways, the correctly selected length and shape of the strands above the forehead can contribute to this.
Kinds
Before you cut the bangs, you need to understand what will change the selected part of the hairstyle in your appearance. A person can change quite dramatically: the look will become open or mysterious; the shape of the face is rounder or more elongated. Under the lock of hair you can hide wrinkles, wide cheekbones, too high a forehead; emphasize or mask eyebrows.
A round face has a number of features that a bang can decorate:
- the width and length of the face are approximately the same;
- unexpressed chin;
- low forehead.
There are many types of bangs, sometimes a form is thought up right during a haircut by a talented hairdresser. But still, before going to the salon, you should decide what approximately you want to see.
The form
The following can be distinguished.
- Straight. A bang from the crown, classic, milled, thinned out, can give an oval shape to the face.
- Slanting. It happens in three versions: classic, elongated, side. Oblique bangs can make a round face narrow in appearance, and rounded cheeks - to hide. In this case, the bangs will be a lock of hair, which is laid in the direction of one temple.
- "Shutter" (strands on two sides). The “curtain” can perfectly frame the round outlines of the face, making it more harmonious. It helps to hide chubby cheeks on both sides, so this line of bangs is very suitable for this type of appearance. Bangs - "curtain" is classic and elongated.
- Torn. A torn bang for a round face is rarely successful, because it visually increases the volume. If desired, you can try to choose an elongated version.
- Model creative bangs. Here, the imagination of the hairdresser and the model can offer a variety of variations: arch, wave, geometric shapes. The arched bangs visually correct the shape of the forehead. Asymmetric visually narrows the face on the sides. Today, fashionable and bold haircut ideas are increasingly popular.
- Layered. A good solution if the hair is thin, but of good thickness. In this case, it is easy to make volume in the parietal part by visually stretching the face. Such bangs can have any shape: either straight or beveled. A large number of layers makes facial features more elegant, and the hairstyle becomes more interesting.
The size
There can be many modifications of bangs in size too.
- Short This option is the choice of a very brave woman. She opens her whole face and draws attention to him. With a round face with experiments with a short bang, you need to be careful. The shortened upper strand above the forehead stretches the face in length. The arched shape of the short strands will reduce the width of the cheekbones and make the chin line easier.
- Ultrashort. The strands of micro-bangs are no more than 4 cm. Young and brave girls in combination with such a bang usually make a “hedgehog” haircut or romantic short hairstyles that look charming in combination with large facial features. Ladies at a more interesting age most often prefer strict haircuts, with which microwax looks superelegant. When choosing this type of strands, you need to remember that the growth will be very noticeable, and you will need to correct the haircut often.
- Average bang length visually makes the face heavier, so if you have a round face, then this option will not decorate it.
- Long bangs It doesn’t look so bold and extravagant as super short, but it adds no less attractiveness to its owners. Its smooth lines hide the width of the face on the sides and give it large features of softness.
Variations here can be different: oblique, asymmetric, “curtain” on two sides, torn, lateral with styling on one side, bangs turning into a hairstyle, pickup - an ultrafashionable version that covers one eye, elongated. Almost any option is suitable for a round face shape.
It should be borne in mind that the ideal length is just below the line of the cheekbones or a couple of centimeters above the level of the chin.
Thickness
In the hands of an experienced hairdresser, bangs can be transformed with a change in thickness in a couple of minutes. The density of the bangs is often selected based on the structure of the hair.
- Thick. A dense bang from straight hair visually stretches the oval of the face. This type of bangs is suitable for straight hair, if they curl, they will have to be straightened regularly. Thinning the bottom edge will help to avoid this. It will also soften the even cut line and make the image easier.
- Rare. It’s unlikely that it will be possible to choose a variant of bangs with rare “feathers” under a round face. She opens her forehead and emphasizes the oval of the face. Graduation of strands for a chubby girl can be easy, giving volume and layering.
Haircuts for different hair lengths
The most common mistake when cutting strands over the forehead is independence. It would seem that this is not difficult - cut off a couple of strands in front. But nevertheless, it is the master who will do it really beautifully, trim every lock, perform thinning with special tools, show how to properly put the bangs at home, give advice on length and shape.

Chubby lovers of shoulder-length hair will appreciate this haircut, they are suitable for bob or an extended version of this hairstyle. It goes to almost everyone. If the outlines of the face are rounded, it is better to do a side parting. In this case, an elongated bang, laid sideways, is a good choice.
The asymmetric line of the strands will smooth out the geometric shape of the haircut and lengthen the oval of the face. It will also be interesting to look like a short milled bang - arch.
Long
Strands when cutting long hair are recommended to graduate. This can be a thinning ladder both along the entire length of the hair and around the face. This option is suitable for any type of hair - thick, sparse, wavy, straight.
