Oh, fringe! They are so charming, aren’t they? Are you going to give it a try? 

Whether you are looking to take care of your fringe or just looking for inspiration, let’s talk about different types of fringe to get you inspired. 

Let’s dive into tips on taking care of them and deciding which one suits you best based on your facial shape.

So prepare your notepad and let’s go!

How To Choose Your Type Of Fringe

What is your facial shape? Is it heart-shaped? Oval, squared, round?

To get started, think about a haircut that will enhance your natural beauty based on the facial shape you have.

A good idea is to look for celebrities that have similar facial shapes as yours and use them as a reference and inspiration.

Then, ask yourself what style you want to pursue (modern, classic, creative, and so on). 

Bangs For Different Facial Shapes

To help you out in this task, I’m sharing with you some common facial shapes, so you can have an idea of what type of fringe you can choose.

Heart Shape

Straight and layered bangs are great suggestions to give a touch of balance and harmony between the chin and cheeks.

You can also wear them divided, as in the 70’s, for a little touch of charm.

Longer Face

If you feel like your face is a little longer, a fringe is ideal to give more balance and harmony to your face. You can try a fringe that is fuller and straight, with good volume.

Try letting them a little above the eyes, to give more asymmetry and proportion to the entire face. These types of fringe work well for long faces.

Oval Shape

If you have an oval facial shape, you can use any type of fringe. This type of face is very versatile and fringe-friendly.

However, if you are keen on a quick advice, try using a light fringe, that you can divide, as it won’t weigh down your expressions. 

Squared Face

If you have a squared face, a good suggestion is to opt for a choppy, center-parted fringe to bring more harmony to the strong jawline and a square shape.

Try to add volume and a good length (more or less close to the eyes or a little below), to soften the look.

Round Face

Those with round faces can be confident to avoid fringe that is too symmetric and straight.

A good suggestion is to use layered, choppy bangs. This is because it can better frame your face, giving the impression it is longer and thinner.

Diamond Face 

If you have a diamond face, you can try starting your fringe a little after the hairline to fake a longer forehead and opt for a long fringe (a little after or right above the eyes).

Rectangular Face

For a rectangular face, you can invest in a lightweight fringe, opting for a layered and messy style.

Triangular Face

Straight fringes are a good idea if you have a triangular face, as it can cover up the small forehead, giving the impression they are longer and wider, giving a touch of balance to your face.

Upside Down Triangle

Now, if you have an Upside Down Triangle facial shape, a good idea is to opt for curtain bangs, which can give the impression of symmetry to your face.
