Bangs are a subtle way of bringing balance to the face or playing up certain features. Round face shapes are best suited for side bangs, which balance out the curves, while a thick, blunt bang complements longer faces. Shorter or wispy fringe styles look best on heart-shaped faces while those with a more square shape should opt for trims that just skim the brows. Oval face shapes are blessed with the ability to rock just about any type of fringe they please.
