Fringe: what types match each type of face?

Types of fringes

There are different styles of fringes, from those that have become more popular recently, to those that have been almost unanimous during previous decades, and are now back on the rise. Know the most adopted types:

Baby Bang

The main characteristic of the baby bang is the cut of the fringe above the eyebrow, in most cases, super short, helping to enhance the face and the design of the eyebrows, which is more apparent.

It is possible to use the baby bang style in a straight, frayed way and to the side.

Because it is not a fringe used by women often, those who normally invest in this trend, want a more daring and creative appearance, leaving the conventional fringe patterns.

Thus, it is important to have a professional orientation to avoid mistakes, as the bangs can be short beyond what was expected, especially when it comes to curly locks.

Curtain bangs

Trend 70s, this style of bangs has the length at eye level and the longest side strands.

It is also known as curtain fringe, as it is divided in half, forming an opening similar to a curtain, so it serves as a frame for the face.

The model of bangs curtain bangs is considered to be very versatile, adapting to long, medium or short haircuts.

Rockstar

The rockstar fringe is suitable for those who do not want to drastically change the length of the fringe, as it is characterized by being longer (nose height) and being less thick.

In addition, it is more practical and easy to take care of on a daily basis and matches any haircut.

Who wants to enhance the look of this fringe and make it more modern, can apply the messy texture on the hair that leaves the threads with messy effect.

Half Moon

The half-moon fringe is one of the most classic and used, it is made by cutting the wires in a rounded shape. The thickness is usually full, giving greater volume to the fringe.

The advantage of choosing it is that, like the fringe curtain bangs, it frames the face, helping to disguise and soften the facial features.

Which fringe suits each type of face?

For both the haircut and the bangs, the shape of the face is an important parameter taken into account, as it helps to predict the cut that will best fit and match the person. The most common formats are:

Round

It is characterized by having both the length and width line the same size. There are also no very marked angles, as there are no straight lines for this.

Apples of this type of face tend to be wide and the lower jaw a little prominent, while the forehead is lower. In this case, they combine bangs that are long and with frayed threads, like the rockstar.

Square

Like the round face, the square type has both lines with the same dimension, but with the difference that the lines are more notable for being well marked. In this way, the angles present are all right.

In this situation, multi-layered and peaked fringes are applied, which create a more voluminous look, leaving the face with smoother lines.

Triangular

People with a triangular face have strong and well-defined features, as the forehead tends to be narrower and taper as it approaches the base, making the jaw wider and, consequently, forming a triangle.

In the case of this shape, straight and fringed bangs are more appropriate, as they help to disguise the narrow shape of the forehead, making the face more asymmetrical.

Oval

This shape presents the line of the length, on average, one third greater than the line of the width, making this a type of light face. The oval face does not have any very prominent angle, contributing to a smooth and delicate appearance.

Who has this type of face, is at an advantage to use different fringe models, because it is short or long, will be fine.

Rectangular

It has a line of length almost twice the line of width, however, the contours have more straight and angular lines.

In general, the fringes of irregularly cut and light form better match with this type of face, however those that are longer and layered, can also enhance the rectangular shape.
