Long, grown-out bangs are particularly flattering on round face shapes. Their versatility and side-to-side movement help elongate the face, creating a more balanced appearance. The aim of bangs, in general, is to add depth, definition, and elongate the face.
Several other bang styles also work well with round faces:
- Side-swept bangs: These asymmetrical bangs, longer on one side and parted to the side, add a flattering asymmetry that complements a round face's features.
- Curtain bangs: These bangs are parted in the middle and fall softly on either side of the face, framing it without making it appear rounder. Many find this style particularly successful.
- Long, layered bangs: Adding layers to long bangs adds movement and texture, softening the roundness of the face. They provide a less blunt effect than straight across bangs.
Straight-across bangs are generally not recommended for round faces as they tend to emphasize the roundness.
Remember that the best bang style will depend on your individual features and hair texture. Consult with a stylist to determine the most flattering option for you.
