Finding the Right Fringe for Your Face Shape

October 17, 2014 · Posted in: Beauty, Blog, Hair, Inspiration, Our Favorites, Stylists Picks

We love bangs. The right fringe can compliment your face and give you a great look. There are many types of bangs though, and knowing which fringe works best for your face shape can be tricky. Hopefully you have an XEX stylist who can help you out. Even with an experienced stylist to help you though, it’s good to know which fringe styles compliment your face shape the most. Here’s a few pointers to help you out.

Blunt Bangs

The posh and bold look of blunt bangs can be a great fit for those with oval or square faces. If you don’t want your bangs to be too bold looking, your stylist can angle down the sides a bit to soften the look.

Blunt bangs tend to work better with women with thicker hair as well, as thicker hair allows the fringe to have more volume.

Wispy Bangs

Light and playful, wispy bangs are great for those who want a bang that’s easier to maintain than others. Because hair is layered and feathered, wispy bangs can work well with heart-shaped faces. They work well with lighter volume hair and are a nice addition to mid-long length hair styles.

Side-Swept Bangs

Because side-swept bangs are so versatile and subtle, they can work well on many different face shapes. If you’re not sure which bang style would work best for you, side-swept bangs are likely a good choice. Make sure they’re cut thick so they look strong and are not too wispy. Side-swept bangs can work great with both short and long hair styles as well.
