What makes bangs look good

Another option to flatter your long forehead is a long, wispy fringe. The sparse bangs will still allow your forehead to peak through, without its entirety being on display. Cue the perfect, lifted fringe.

As far as styling goes, make sure to keep a strong-hold hairspray in your arsenal. You don't want your fringe to budge midday! Bumble and Bumble's Strong Finish Hairspray will do the job. Scared of going too short? A choppy fringe will have the same effect as short bangs thanks to its varying lengths, without the commitment to a high-maintenance look.

With a short crop of hair sitting against your forehead all day, you need something to cut any greasy buildup. Now that you know the right bangs for your face shape, go ahead and take these inspo pics to your stylist and make the chop. Don't worry, if you aren't sold on your new 'do, bangs grow out fast.

If you have a round-shaped face, you probably think bangs are a no-go for you. In fact, Goebel says most clients with this face shape who are tempted to switch up their hairstyle are hesitant since they fear it could make their face look fuller. She explains that the right type of cut can actually be very flattering and complementary. This ensures that they look fresh and smooth, sans frizz.

And dry shampoo, is just that—dry shampoo—and all you need to keep them looking freshly washed. To prevent product overload, Blandi recommends spraying some dry shampoo onto your fingertips then massaging it in directly at the roots, not applying it all over.
