Bangs are a surefire way to upgrade your look and bust out of any hairstyle rut. But since not all faces are created equal, make sure you flatter yours by finding the best face-framing fringe based on your shape.

If You Have an Oval Face:
If the distance from your forehead to chin looks longer than ear-to-ear, you've most likely got an oval shaped face. And luckily, most styles work on you! Try blunt bangs for a trendy style.
