42. Eye-Grazing Layered Fringe. If you want to enjoy versatility when styling your locks, take note of this layered medium-length haircut with a fringe and wear these front strands straight, side-swept, or parted in the middle.

Good bangs for round faces vary significantly in their length, shape, and style, but together with your hairstylist, you will be able to find the fringe that best flatters your face shape and features. In this article, you’ll get inspiring ideas for amazing bangs that look good with your face shape and suit all ages and lifestyles.

There are several key principles to keep in mind when choosing between different types of bangs for your face. Firstly, they should visually elongate the face, making it look more oval. Long side-swept strands cope with this mission better than any other.

Another secret is to make some volume on the crown when styling your locks. Textured bangs, especially those cut above the eyes, perform a nice trick: they diffuse the roundness and open up your face. One more way to “cut” the excess width is to leave pieces in front of the ears.

The straight full fringe is among the things to avoid, as it shows off the roundness of the face. Nonetheless, a shorter length and longer pieces at the sides can make even a blunt bang flattering for the round face shape. The same goes for center parting: while this hairstyle is often the absolute no for your face shape, curtain bangs may eventually shift the focus away from the face roundness.

Look through these 50 handpicked variants to choose a perfect haircut for you!
