Before we talk about choosing bangs for a round face, it is important to determine what needs to be changed in the proportion of a round face.
The ideal of harmonious face shape is considered to be oval, which has a characteristic elongation, in contrast to the round shape of the face.
This means our mission is to shift the emphasis away from expanding roundness and elongate the shape of the face more!
The following bang options will help in solving this problem:
1. Long bangs from the central parting. This shape of bangs will hide the widening of a round face shape, and the central parting will help to elongate the shape of the face. You just need to take into account that the elongated bangs should have a vertical cut line.
2. Asymmetrical bangs with extension. Such bangs will take the emphasis away from the characteristic features of roundness and additionally elongate the face.
3. Textured bangs with extension towards the temples. Due to the texture in the center of the forehead, it will create softness and shift the emphasis away from the volume of the face, and lengthening it towards the temples will further elongate the face.
All of these bang options solve the same problem, but the variety will allow clients to choose the look that is closer to them, without losing the correct proportions.
Important to remember! When choosing bangs for a round face, it is not advisable to use horizontal and massive cut lines - this will make the face heavier and expand.
