3 Tips to Determine if Bangs Suit You
When Bangs Are a Good Choice
- Forehead Shape: If you have a flat or low forehead, bangs can help balance it out. If you have a plump and full forehead, bangs may not be necessary.
- Profile: If you have a prominent nose and a beautiful nose-forehead angle, bangs may not be necessary. If you have a flat nose, bangs can be flattering.
- Hairline to Eyebrow Distance: If the distance from your hairline to your eyebrows is four fingers or less, bangs can be a good option. If the distance is more or less than four fingers, bangs can help soften your features.
When Bangs Are Not a Good Choice
If your forehead, nose-forehead angle, and hairline-to-eyebrow distance are all well-proportioned, bangs aren’t needed.
4 Steps to Determine if Straight or Curly Hair Suits You
- Check Your Cheekbones
A. High Cheekbones B. Low Cheekbones
People with high cheekbones generally look better with curly hair, as it can help soften and disguise the cheekbones, creating a more streamlined facial appearance. - Consider Your Face Shape
A. Long Face B. Round Face
If you have a long face, curly hair can be more flattering as it adds volume and makes your face appear less elongated. Conversely, straight hair can be more suitable for round faces. - Evaluate Your Hair Volume
A. Fine or Thin Hair B. Thick or Voluminous Hair
If you have thick or voluminous hair, straight hair can be a good choice. On the other hand, if you have fine or thin hair, curly waves or loose curls can add body and texture. - Assess Your Head-to-Shoulder Ratio
A. Small Head, Wide Shoulders (Shoulder Width > 2.5 Times Head Width) B. Large Head, Narrow Shoulders (Shoulder Width < 2.5 Times Head Width)
If you have a small head and wide shoulders, even square shoulders, wavy or curly hairstyles can be more flattering. Conversely, straight hair can be more suitable for those with large heads.
Summary: If you chose mostly “A” answers, curly hair may be a better fit for you. If you chose mostly “B” answers, straight hair may be a better choice. If you have an equal mix of “A” and “B” answers, either style could work well for you.
If you determine that straight hair is more suitable for you but still love curly hair, don’t despair! Everyone can rock curly hair, but the ideal curl pattern, size, and volume may vary slightly.
Finding the right hairstyle for you can save you time, avoid hair styling mistakes, and enhance your natural beauty!
