Not all hairstyles suit everyone, but there are some fairly easy ways to tell if bangs suit you.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Look at pictures in magazines or online. Pay attention to the hairstyles of people in advertisements, famous people and celebrities to determine what type of hairstyle you would like. Print out photos or cut them from magazines so you have a collection to look at.

  2. Step 2

    Notice the shape of each person’s face in the photograph collection. Are there any faces shaped like yours? Look for other similarities and identify a picture of someone whose facial shape and features are similar to yours. This will give you a decent idea of what bangs would look like on your facial type.

  3. Step 3

    Visit a shop that sells wigs and try on a number of those that have bangs. This is a real hands-on way to decide if bangs suit you, without committing to a haircut.

  4. Step 4

    Visit a website that allows you to upload your photograph and try a number of hairstyles on your image. These sites usually charge a fee, so be aware that this option is not free.

  5. Step 5

    Try to visualize yourself with bangs by taking a section of your hair, and while looking in the mirror, recreating the look of bangs. This only provides an approximation, but gives a good idea if bangs suit you.

Tips & Warnings
  • Try several of these steps to determine if bangs are a good fit for you. The best approach is to try a wig before taking the plunge and getting your hair cut.
  • Bangs may take some getting used to, especially if you haven’t had them in a long while. If you take the plunge, realize there will be an adjustment period. If you are unhappy with your bangs, rest assured that the hair will grow again.
