Bangs can be a love hate relationship; You want them, you get
them, you love them and soon after, you hate them. What went wrong?
Afraid to try bangs because of the above scenario, and confused
if they would look awesome or terrible?
What dictates if you're suited for bangs anyway?
Although there is no hard and fast rule, there are parameters
which you need to discuss with your stylist before committing to bangs.
Your Styling Ability vs Hair Texture:
Sometimes the newness of any hairstyle doesn't sink in, until
the first time you have to style it yourself. With bangs, your muscle memory of
habitual-getting-readiness is of no help, actually it bites you in the butt because
it is no longer applicable, and you are left panicking. How did my hairdresser
tell me to do this again?!
Tip: If your talents in the world do not include hair styling,
ensure your bang styling regimen is simple. If achieving your bang style
require you to alter your natural texture beyond your ability, you're probably
going to fall under the hate bangs category.
Your Forehead:
A short forehead can be a sign you probably won't be happy with
bangs. It can close down the face. If you've got a huge forehead you want to
hide, or feel you are average, you might be a candidate.
Your Jawline:
A strong jawline dictates what shape of bang will look best. If
you have a pronounced square jaw, you probably won't be successfully rocking a
blunt straight square bang.
A successful approach in this case would be one incorporating
balance (the universal truth, even when it comes to the short little tufts of
hair, framing your face!) hard square jaw = soft rounded bangs.

generally come in.
Your Lifestyle:
People who get a little panicky when they can't pull all their
hair off their face into a pony tail, need to know they will have to use a
bobby pin to pin up their Fringe (as the Brits call it).
People who are lazy, may have to accept they might have to wake
up and actually wash and style their bangs! (It's ok, you can tie back the rest
of your hair and shampoo at the sink. And the blow dry only takes about 4
minutes, so you're good).
Commitment-phobes need to understand that most bangs are a
statement that will be made daily, and trying to hide them probably won't look
right.
Bangs are a commitment, so set yourself up for success by doing
a little soul searching and by considering the above points.
