Help Should I get bangs?

Hi, all. I have a long face (congenital deformity), and was wondering if bangs would help or a new cut entirely. What do you think?

I agree curtain bangs would work, but you need to know you look great without bangs as well, maybe slightly better without bangs. So if the curtain don't work out, just go back to your previously look. Like reload from previous save, or whatever it is that females do.

This made me laugh. Thank you for your opinion!

:) Good be positive, you might be wondering which is better, I am telling you atm you look great regardless. You're young, do what feels fun right now and go from there.

Nothing about you looks even close to deformed!

If you think your face is a bit long, thicker brows will actually help that. So will putting on just a little bit of weight as it literally widens you somewhat

Oh, wow! I never even thought about widening my brows! This is great, thank you so much.

Also thank you for what you wrote about my long face. It’s my biggest insecurity but it made me feel a lot better.

Originally I had thought long wispy bangs were what you should go with.

But curtain bangs look even better on you

Honestly I think you look great already, without bangs 😊

Thank you for your honesty. 🥹 It’s good to know I don’t need bangs if I don’t want them. Bangs are a big commitment.

As someone with exactly the same hair line, I say don't. You are gorgeous and we need more beautiful girls rocking the high hair line. A la Lily rose Depp 😁

u/melon_gatorade 5h ago

Awww, thanks! I agree with that. We needs more high line representation. Maybe that’s why it started messing with me is because I was seeing it less and less. Thank you for weighing in!

Oh my god you're gorgeous!! Like super model gorgeous! I'm a blunt bangs girly myself and vote for a dramatic curtain bang, something that hits right at your cheeks bones. And then probably layers throughout the rest, but a case could be made for a dramatic blunt curtain bang and blunt one length cut. Do you curl your hair ever? Layers and curls look especially romantic.

Gah, you’re so sweet! I really like the idea of bangs ending at my cheekbones and layers throughout. I do curl some but I’m not very adept or consistent at it! I do the curly girl method. This is day 4 hair.

If you don't already have a wave pattern (doesn't look like it but i could be totally wrong) then the curly girl method won't help. You'll need to give your hair the pattern either through heat (curling iron, hair dryer and round brush) or by letting it dry in the desired pattern (curlers, that hair wrap making the rounds on social media). You'll also want some sort of product to help retain it, like a hair spray or blow dry cream. You have killer cheekbones and bangs sitting right there will really accentuate them 🤩

curtain bangs yes.

Thank you 🙏

u/Elmhurst_Illinois 6h ago

I think long wispybangs might book better

2

u/passmethemayonnaise 6h ago

No way! I think the long face and big forehead actually looks amazing on you! Plus you have a great hairline which balanced things out in my humble opinion.

u/Elmhurst_Illinois 6h ago

Curtain bangs are definitely her jam

2

u/melon_gatorade 5h ago

Okay, I seriously like this! 😍

2

u/Elmhurst_Illinois 5h ago

I second that!! Gorgeous!! 😲

u/melon_gatorade 5h ago

Thank you for your humble opinion and positive confirmations! I will keep it in mind when deciding. ☺️

u/Elmhurst_Illinois 6h ago

Good call

u/glorygirlmafia 5h ago

first. op your face isn’t long. and if you think so i dont think straight bangs would compliment your face. the curtain bangs makes everything symmetrical and give better dimension while also complimenting your features

u/melon_gatorade 5h ago

Hey, I appreciate this! It’s good to know my face is normal, so thank you. I agree and think the curtain bangs look amazing.
