Best bangs for diamond shaped faces

When it comes to choosing bangs, having a diamond shaped face can be incredibly complicated. You will find a lot of advice in hair m magazines about which styles would be best for a long, round or heart shaped face but there is very little information about diamond shaped faces. This can make deciding which bangs you should have for your diamond shaped face quite confusing.

A diamond shaped face is one that has a slender jaw, prominent cheekbones and a narrow forehead; diamond shaped faces will very often look longer so they key to the most flattering look is to find bangs that shorten the length of your face.

A great way to shorten the overall length of your face is to add some blunt cut straight bangs; these will appear to disguise the lines of your forehead. Be sure to ask your hairdresser not to make them too short or too thick because if your bangs are too short then they will only make your face look longer and if they are too thick they will swamp your delicate features.

Side swept bangs are a lot easier to wear than full bangs because they are softer and more natural. They are also another excellent choice for those with diamond faces because the lines of your forehead will be disguised. Have your long bangs layered to add thickness and help add definition to your chin. For an even more flattering look you can flick the bottom of your bangs out using straighteners or a brush, and for more drama you can flick some of the other layers in your bangs out. This will help to add width to your face and draw the focus away from the length of your face.

Side swept are another great choice for diamond faces, side short bangs can create a cute, sexy look without the full on impact of blunt cut bangs. They can be fixed in place with a small amount of gel or hairspray and they are another style that will also need regular trips to the hairdresser in order to keep them looking their best.

If you have a diamond shaped face then you need to avoid bangs that are too short because they will elongate your face, steer clear of short spiky bangs and diagonal bangs. AS stylish as they may be they will not be flattering to your diamond shaped face.

Always remember that bangs need to be trimmed regularly to keep them looking tidy. Many hairdressers will offer a free bang trimming service if you had your hair cut there.
