How to know the fringe that suits your face shape

Hair trends keep changing. Each trend looks great but not on everyone.

International model Naomi Campbell will comfortably pull off a fringe/bang. Would you?

Well it all depends on the shape of your face. Fringes can take years off your face and draw attention to your eyes.

Apart from looking stylish, any hairstyle you wear should also complement your face.

Pump up some style in your boring hairstyle by adding a fringe - the right one for your face shape. They are low maintenance and fuss-free.

Flirty forehead fringes will flatter most face shapes. So how do you know which fringe suits your face shape best?

Oval face: This face shape literally has endless options when it comes to fringes. They can pull off any hairstyle with a fringe. Whether it is a bob, a side-swept fringe or an eye-skimming fringe, it will flatter this face.

Round face: The objective of a fringe on a round-shaped face is creating angles. For a round face, a deep, side-swept fringe would make your face look slimmer. Women with chubby cheeks should avoid layered fringes since they tend to make your face look bulkier. Also ideal for this face shape are angled fringes, choppy fringes and squared-off fringes since they offset the fullness of your round face. The round-faced woman should also avoid blunt fringes since they accentuate the roundness of the face.

Long face: A long, narrow face will look good with brow-hugging fringes. It lifts off the length from your face, making it evenly proportioned. To draw focus away from your forehead, go for long gradual layers which fall on the sides of your face and cover your forehead. What more, you will definitely look trendy.

Square face: For the square-faced woman, your intention is to lift the focus off your forehead and camouflage the ‘squareness’. Side-swept fringes and angled bangs will make the face look slimmer. Any fringe that tapers inwards towards the jaw softens the lines on your face and gives you a feminine look. Long, heavy bangs ending at the mid-eyebrow also work well.

Heart-shaped face: This woman ought to add oomph to her style by adopting side-swept or full fringes. Ideally, the objective of a heart-shaped face is to balance out the thinner jaw line with the wider forehead. To soften your narrow chin and cover up the fullness of your forehead a blunt fringe or an angled one is ideal for you.
