Every individual’s face has a specific shape, so how do you know what the right bang is for you.  Here are the basic face shapes and what works best.
Square facial shape:  a layered bang that fall to or below your eyebrows are very flattering, especially if they are swept off to the side, add a bit of softness and texture to the ends to enhance the look even more.  Katie Holmes, Sandra Bullock, Mandy Moore, Demi Moore, Audrey Hepburn are amongst the sexy celebrities who have a square shaped face.
Round facial shape:  Start with the main haircut first then move to the bang-aim for long side-swept and wispy bang.  The side bang will help elongate the shape of the face. Cameron Diaz, Kate Moss and Carmen Electra know how to enhance their best features.
Heart shaped face:  Off center or side swept bangs are flattering to the heart shapes high forehead, as it will draw attention to your eyes and cheeks.  Depending on the thickness of the hair, a short wispy bang will also work.

Last but not least the “perfect” facial shape, Oval- the goal is to add some width and fullness at the sides so that your face looks more symmetrical. But avoid creating too much volume at the top, or you will only make your face look too drawn-out and oblong. Beyonce, Jennifer Garner, Hillary Swank and Sarah Jessica Parker are amongst the A-list celebrities with oval facial shapes.
