Side Bangs

The second most popular type of bang? Side bangs, of course, especially during the recent side part renaissance. “These are typically pushed to one side of the forehead, exposing the other, and are shorter in one end and longer on the other, thus exposing one eye more than the other,” says Cleveland.

According to Cleveland, this style is perfect for anyone who regularly parts their hair to the side. They’re also best for someone considering a full bang but not quite ready to take the plunge,” she says. “It’s a great way to try out a bang without a full commitment.”

As for face shapes? According to Raven Hurtado, a hairstylist at Chicago’s Maxine Salon, side bangs are ideal for softening features on longer face shapes. “It shifts focus on your eyes instead of your forehead, and is perfect for long faces,” she says. It’s a good thing they’re trending (again)!

Best for: Long, round, and oval face shapes

Blunt Bangs

While curtain and side bangs may be having a moment, the truth is, you can’t go wrong with the classic blunt bang look. “This style provides full forehead coverage with a sharp crisp line, so no softy wispy ends,” Michelle Cleveland celebrity hair stylist, extension artist, educator, and owner of Hair Addict Salon & Extension Bar, says of the style.
