Absolutely right. Face shape theory misses out on size of forehead. I thought I had oval face for longest time due to my long and broad forehead but I don't. And side bangs have worked for me which theoretically shouldn't.

The nose makes a difference, too. I have a narrow face and a high forehead, so I've always read that I should wear straight-across bangs. However, I also have a long nose, so straight bangs make me look the cartoon depiction of a 1950s beatnik. I do sideswept bangs.

This is the best, most detailed explanation I've ever seen about wearing bangs. Thank you so much!

Finally, a video that addresses the long face shape correctly. I've seen so many videos advising long faces to get bangs to shorten the face but when I tried it just made my face look shapeless, lengthened my nose and made my eyes even smaller. Realised that revealing my forehead made me look so much better and never understood why until I read somewhere that bangs on a long face will draw attention to your midface, not your eyes.

I'm going to send this to one of my relatives next time they tell me to get bangs! Very informative, I enjoyed this video

You know this type of video helps you a lot in knowing your physical uniqueness and maximizing your natural beauty. I started watching more of videos like this after realizing how weird I looked when I had bangs, or when certain types of clothing didn't look flattering on me or like why wing liner didn't compliment my eye shape. Sometimes when I get my makeup done, I told the makeup artist certain points of my face features that made them wonder how did you know that? Or when my friends and I were casually talking about fashion and suddenly I mention how body shapes affect the clothes we have on etc... I feel my confidence grows better rather than just putting on everything I want just because it's on trend or looking good on others.

Basically just get bangs one day to experiment. If it looks good and makes you happy keep it. If it looks bad, it's hair...it will grow back. Good luck!

I've been watching your videos for a while, and I always am amazed at how the information you share is not the same as what everyone else shares. It's not a rehash of the same info that float around, stuff I already know or have heard a thousand times. In every video you post I actually always learn something new and useful that I haven't heard anyone share yet. Your videos are really great, thank you so much for all of your help!!!

This was explained in such a easy to understand fun way with lots of examples. I really enjoyed this thank you! 😊

Yes!!! This is so timely for me, I've been wondering the same

This is a great video, and I like how you mentioned the drawbacks of face shape theory as well. I have a round face and I'd like to share my personal preference for bangs in hopes someone who also has a round face and reads this doesn't get discouraged if they want to keep their bangs 🥰. For context, my face is round, small and I have a small forehead and voluminous dark hair (it's very easy for my face to become rounder because of this). I keep my bangs short and mostly full (completely full will make my face rounder), just above the brows, this adds drama and attention to my eyes and eyebrows which are my favourite part of my face, while also hiding the forehead enough to make it seem bigger (volume and fluffiness of my natural hair helps with this). I also like to keep the side bangs as you showed in the video to add length to my face. I need to keep them longer like the Selena Gomez pic, it's more flattering on my smaller face. Without bangs, my face can become rounder because of my bulky hair, and with my small forehead exposed the lower part of my face becomes bigger, and my whole face is more plain because there is no attention to my eyes anymore. In short, my bangs change my face dramatically and even as a round face I keep them to highlight the key features of my face. As stated in the video, it definitely is possible to have bangs even with a round face 🥰

The most informative info on bangs ! Thank You 🙏🏼

Beautifully and perfectly well-explained. I have a pear shaped face and hairstyles are a struggle for me 😒

This is the best explanation of the subject I have ever come across!

Great video Chi, you taught me the missing part no one talks about! I love your new hair color!

Woa, now I know why side bangs works like a charm for me! Thank u! Your videos are great ❤ btw, this new hair color suits you so much, you look amazing.

Thank you for an excellent video with refreshing information that I haven't heard elsewhere. You're amazing!

Me pausing the video every 20” to look myself in the mirror just to remember how my face looks like😂 Thanks for the helpful video ☺️

Thank you Chi, very helpful video, I have never heard somebody else taking about the subject 🙂

omg, thank you I always wondered why my supposed oval face good for all hair styles or whatever felt like BS! You're so right, there's more to consider! Thanks!

Always such detailed videos answering te Whys & Whys don’t. 😍

such a good point about the ratio of the forehead to the rest of the face!

Oh my god, finally a video that makes me understand what fringe could suit me. Although I was looking for actual fringes and not hairbands, the theory applies to it literally the same way so this has been extremely helpful! As an oval face shape with a long forehead “ovals can get any type of fringe” has never been helpful. I already have side bangs, but I was trying to find out wether a fringe with a little more hair in the middle would suit me better. I suppose I got my answer. Thank you so much!

I usually lose focus on videos longer than 2 minutes, but this video was so entertaining and went by so quickly at an amazing pace! I loved your explanation and the pictures you used to support it! You’re amazing! Thanks for your help :)

People rarely adds pear face shape in their videos so it becomes difficult to gather information about it. But thanks to you this video was really very helpful ❤️🥰

Informative, to the point, easily explained. Perfect video! Thank you for this

Chi. You’re so perceptive. Excellent content not available anywhere else.

Although I am 5'7 I still love your channel new subscriber you are wonderful lady so grateful to have you in my life 🙏💜

This is so accurate, I never agreed with someone more in these type of videos where it seems no one can thing and judge for themselves and just say what others say

Great video!! those pictures are so helpful and explanation is very clear. thank you!

Very good! Your advice is always spot on!

Oh this explains so much! I love bangs, but I do find they can sometimes emphasize the roundness of my face. I have a very short forehead. Side swept bangs or longer side pieces are definitely the most flattering on me. Your explanation makes perfect sense!

Chin! One of your best videos so far! I've always loved your content. It's very informative. But this video is just WOW. It's the best video I've ever seen about cutting or not the bangs, even better than the ones from hairdressers! You brought some critical points that people don't bring it, pretty much what they say is oval shape get it and square shape don't, but you explained way more and gave some exceptions too. Can you bring a video with types of bangs? Thank you for teaching us 🙏

Best video about this whole topic! I understand it now :) Thank you so much!

I'm convinced noses have a lot to do with this as well. Large or aqualine noses never seem to suit a fringe, whereas smaller noses do.

Thoroughly enjoyed this video!

you are spot on. well done

This is the best explanation, thank you!

Great video Chi!

Thank you. That was really helpful

I find your channel interesting and useful! Thank you!!

Wonderful educational video! For some people like me, figuring out the best hairstyle and makeup is some kind of mystical. I did learn years ago that bangs suited me better than none. Usually people said I looked younger with them so I rolled with it.However, I started to also notice that without bangs, my face looked really long. I have an oval face but a really small chin and a longer nose thanks to that. The bangs really help ease away that long-look. Gonna look through your other videos and see if there's anything about overall hair style since I'm lacking heavily in that department (but generally think shorter is the way to go - perhaps even a pixie.)

Very thoughtful and helpful

Hi Chi, great video with excellent content and clear comparisons. 👍💖 Queensland Australia

Nice video!! Need one for selecting the ideal glasses shape!

I love the breakdown. I feel though my face while square looks much better with bangs for some reason . Or I may be misjudging my face type

Thank you Chi. Excellent information. Thanks. 👍😁😘

Thank you for this video. Very informative.

holy cow! i never thought of this. havent had bangs in years. turned 50 and am thinking of it again. i got a huge for head. dakota johnson and i are the same.

another great video. I'm gonna show it to my friend! thank you!

Well done!

I have said it before! You are brilliant

A great video once again, Chi!

Great explanation. To the point and correct ✅.

This woman is amazing.

Great video! Best on the topic

Thank you Very helpful!

I definitely have the long face and I just got bangs and they make me look really bad. But I really love bangs so I should probably get long curtain bangs in that case. Thank you so much this video has been so helpful!!

This is such a good video and helps a lot. I have side bangs and was thinking getting those korean bangs but when I was younger I got bangs and it was terrible. But then I saw a video saying that if my forehead fits 4 fingers I should get it. In the end it would turn into side bangs though. However, my face is round like yours and it would make my face smaller and this video just confirms it. I stick with my side bangs.

Thank you 😉I almost made bangs and probably would of regretted it.

Love this information.

This has been so helpful! I have an oval face and without bangs I look like I have such a high forehead…even though it’s really not too high. The appearance though without bangs is very high…now it makes sense. And I was thinking I’m being too critical. Back to bangs for me! Now…where are my scissors?

You are so sweet! My hair is a fluffy waivy medium hair, I want to get a wolfcut with bangs! +my face is oval, so its gonna be perfect! Keep it upppp

Great information!

😮 Is the algorithm reading my mind now!?! I have been thinking about bangs after 10 years without them.

Terrific information and analysis. We can't change the shape of our faces or our height, so your tips on what to do with what we've got keeps us on the right track.

Great great advice

I think I have a rectangular shaped face. I found that long side parted bangs look well on me.

Absolutely beautiful and love from Australia 💕

I did get called by my ex reminiscing and realizing how I was good to him(as per him) and how everything was so good and he messed it all up by leaving me for someone else. Guess that was my closure which I might have wanted, without me expecting it. Also me thinking about an ex is right too. Thank you Chris. Be blessed ❤️

Honestly there is so much more than just everything according to face shape. my parents were giving me straight bangs as a child because I do have a tall forehead, but I have low eyebrows and a bigger nose too.. So I wouldn't say it looked the best.. Just attracted more attention to my nose 😂 I rather have them look at my forehead 🙄😅

Thank you for the differentiation of long face shapes! I have a longer oval face (nobody I ask and ne don’t know if it is barely oval or just a bit too long to be oval) and you mostly either find information that tells you to get bangs ASAP or an oval face is perfect do nothing. But many bangs never looked good on me and I couldn’t figure out why. I wish more people talked about the thirds of the face and how bangs set a different focus on them.

Any recommendations on where to find these hair band products? Thanks - great references here - I have a long face because of long forehead so want to try this out!

Very interesting topic hair bangs according to your face my shape is oval face love your video more sensible very educated and good explanation brilliant from femylene

Thank you!,

I find her information useful. If I enjoy a certain style and she happens to suggest it is not the best option for my face or body shape I am not simply going to toss out all my , well in this case hair bands. Next time I may try to nail that voluminous ponytail instead but it is just suggestions . If you disagree wear your hair band. BTW thanks for all the info and have a nice day.

honestly i think Ariana looks gorgeous with her hair both up and down

Love it

Hey can you tell which bangs suit short forhead but it's not too short?🙂

I really struggle with findings hairstyle that suits my face and your video is really the only one I've seen talk about the long face. Personally, I have a longer face and both my chin and forehead are big so I have a hard time finding out what really would suit that. This video really helped me out but, I was just wondering if you had any specific hairstyle that I should try out?

Very interesting!

Thank you so much. I have an oval face but my forehead is short and I wondered by the longest time why I couldn't wear bangs anymore like when I was a child. I look horrible now with them and I looked even worse when I was way heavier than now.

I have a long forehead and round face, if I use side bangs my forehead looks HUGE. I've been using bangs in different lenghts to discover what works better, and I've seen that when it covers my eyebrows it's the most flattering. Which sometimes makes me conscious about my face's roundness, so I try to let the sides a bit longer and curve them to hide it. I was always in denial about having bangs because I thought it wouldn't suit me, but I'm glad I tried it

I hv round chubby face with biggggg forehead. Bangs are my BFF.

I have elongated head so I would do better with bangs, but it's impossible to keep them from moving

im 59 menopausal and my hairline is receeding and i have a big round face ive bought toppers head bangs i love em they hide my big forehead and my frownlines thank god for wigs

Why does no one do diamond face shape? 😭 I love you and your videos but i can almost never find anything related to my face shape, love you though :)

I have a heart shaped face and tried to cut a short bang. I didn't wanna leave the house for weeks 🤣

Who do you dress to not make your arms look short/petite? I ask because I’m 5’0

I am round face. I always had step cut

I actually don't know what my face shape is I always get confused if it's an oval or heart shape. I have a small for head, small chin, witch nose, jawline and small cheeks. Can you tell me what my face shape is supposed to be from this? It would be great help.

I have a wide forehead but have a widows peak and cowlicks at the front so there is no way I can have a fringe that falls straight down. There was nothing I wanted more than bangs when I was young but it just wouldn't work.

Where did you get your bangs? I’ve always had bangs and my face looks really nice with them (oval face) but I feel like I’m too old for bangs now. I want them temporarily

you missed the Diamond face

please tell me about the diamond face as it is so hard to hairstyle, haircuts and bangs are very difficult to do

Bangs suit just perfect for dakota

What about diamond face shaped people?

I can't even tell what face shape I have 😓sometimes I think it's round, then I think square, then oval until I'm through every other shape and then back to round

What about diamond face shape? I struggle so much with haircuts and styles. cuz I think my face is also slightly long or maybe slightly thin/narrow for a "diamond" but it doesnt fit "oval" or "oblong" or any other face shape. Im like ALL cheekbone lol. Most information I have found regarding diamond face shape is very conflicting and always seems like an afterthought. Ppl also tend to use Jennifer Lopez as the only example and I find some people categorize her as something else. So it's very confusing. Your videos make the most sense and you are so skilled at being able to articulate & pinpoint the key differences in a way the is easy to understand. Thank you! and please do a video for diamond faces!! 🥰❤️

Omg I have been cutting bangs until recently. A hairdresser said my forehead is not high enough 🤣
