Let’s get it straight – shoulder length haircuts are among our favorite topics. This length is trendy, convenient, and versatile. And it still offers much freedom for experiments, one of which is adding a fringe. So, let us guide you through the world of medium length hairstyles with bangs and show that a fringe can be perfectly suited for any face shape and hair type.
How to Find Your Perfect Bangs by Hair Type
No matter what kind of transformation you’ve decided to make with your shoulder-length hair, you should always start with determining the type of your hair. The same thing goes for fringes. If it’s your first one, start off a little longer than you want.
And don’t even think that it’s better to avoid bangs if you have waves or curls – these hair types won’t prevent you from losing your bangs virginity. “I love curly hair with bangs. It’s a look that’s not for the faint of heart, but it’s wildly fashionable,” says Jimmy Paul, editorial stylist currently working for Bumble and bumble, to W Magazine. So, just choose a unique approach and dry cutting technique for these types of hair, and you will fall in love with the result.
Cherry-Pick Bangs by Your Face Shape
Let’s go from A to B and talk about picking up fringes for your face shape. And this is the second thing that bears no haste. If the trendiest style of the season is a short blunt fringe, it doesn’t mean that you should go for it.
Moreover, you run a chance of looking silly if your face shape is far from the oval. Vice versa, the right bangs can and will complement your face shape, like a layered fringe can soften an angular face or a rounder face can be sharpened with an angled fringe.
And don’t forget about little tricks. “Don’t spray hairspray directly onto your fringe! Spray it onto a brush and then brush through for a very soft hold,” says Adam Reed, session stylist, salon owner, and ghd Global Ambassador, to Marie Claire.
Modify Your Layered Cut with a Nice Fringe
Talking about layers. As for us, we always associate a good layered haircut with astonishing Jennifer Aniston. Remember that layered iconic ‘do she donned in “Friends”? Ah, it was something that rolled over the hairstyle world and transferred shags into the heavyweight category.
Today, layered styles are in vogue, and you can cut a long layered fringe even at home. “Grab a comb and part your hair starting from side to side, creating a half-moon shape. Your guide points should be the middle of each eyebrow. You need to twist your hair so that when you cut it, it will have a layered effect.
If you have straight hair, cut it at your mouth; if you have wavy hair, cut it right below your mouth; and if you have curly hair, cut it near your chin,” explains beauty blogger Camila Bravo to Allure. But if you think of something shorter, the next five pics will help you make the right choice.

“Adding a bang is a great way to create a new style without the commitment of a drastic haircut or length change,” says Melinda Danella, a hairstylist at Inspire Uptown Salon, to Glamour and suggest pairing blunt bangs with long bobs. Although a fringe is the easiest thing to make – some types you can cut on your own – it’s a great way to reboot your everyday look and debut fabulously with a brand-new hairstyle. Just don’t forget to consider your hair type and face shape together for getting a fringe that is easy to pull off without overusing styling products and tools.
