Celebrity Hairstyles: Best Bangs for Your Face Shape

In recent celebrity hairstyle news: Kate Moss cut bangs -- but do they suit her face shape? Find out

Face shape: Round

Characteristics: Same-width forehead and lower face, with prominent cheeks
Best bangs for you: A long, angular, side-swept bang
"If you're trying to create an oval, then a round face just needs to be elongated, so you certainly wouldn't want to put straight across bangs on the widest part of a round face," says Thomas. Any kind of fringe that cuts a third of the roundness off to create that oval shape works, therefore "a long, swept across bang is good for a round face shape."
Best celebrity examples: Charlize Theron, Cameron Diaz

I liked the tips, but I'm a little more of a long face than an oval. I wish there were more face-shape options.

Good tips but bangs don't work for me

I like having thick blunt bangs for my long face. It breaks it up so it doesn't look as long.

I thought about getting bangs again, but I remembered what a pain they are to grow out!

I'm a cross between a heart and an oval - what many call a diamond. Might have to give these a try.

long bangs definitely help out square faces

I like Camron's bangs, maybe that's what I'll do

I like that I have an oval face shape, but I would really have appreciated more suggestions.
