Fortunately, bangs can look good with any type of hair. However, it is important to note two things:

Curtain Bangs
These have been around since the 60s and 70s. They drop to each side of your face, allowing you to frame your face and look stunning. These types of bangs are designed to stop near the top of your cheek, effective accentuating your cheeks. While they can work with any type of hair, it is worth noting they draw attention to your eyes.

This makes them great for selfies and Instagram posts. But, you do need to make sure your eyes always look stunning.

• Square Faces
Most stylists agree that curtain bangs are the best choice for square-shaped faces. That's people with strong jawlines and a high cheekbone.

The squarer your face the shorter the curtain bangs should be. Couple the bangs with a deep centre parting and a light fringe above your eyebrows and you'll look and feel great.

• Rectangular Faces
Rectangular faces need longer curtain bangs as you'll want to detract from the length of your face. That means having the bangs end near the bottom of your cheekbones. It will soften your face. To maximize the effect it's a good idea to use a curling iron and add a soft wave or curl, it softens your face.

• Round face

Round faces work with almost any hairstyle as your main aim is to slightly elongate your face. The best approach is to part your hair at the centre and allow it to curl around your face, effectively framing it. Add a fringe with a slight curl to compliment the rest of the hair and make sure you leave a little of the forehead exposed. It adds height to your face and will leave you feeling fantastic.

• Heart Face
Heart-shaped faces tend to have thinner jawlines and wide foreheads. You need to de-emphasize the forehead and broaden the jaw. A curtain bang can achieve this by using a slight waviness in your hair. The main part of your hair will need to flow down your face, ideally resting on your shoulders while the main fringe curves and sits just above your eyebrows.
