Haircare experts share styling tips for bangs and face shapes

Expert advice is available for various hair styling needs, ranging from managing bangs to selecting haircuts for specific face shapes.

For those looking to style bangs, using a mini hair straightener, such as those produced by ghd, can help manage stubborn strands. Techniques vary depending on the style: medium-length bangs can be straightened by rotating the tool outward or downward for an extra straight effect, while short, straight bangs require heat protectants and smoothing products to achieve a flat look.

Regarding face shapes, hairstylists suggest that diamond-shaped faces—characterized by prominent cheekbones and a narrower forehead and jawline—are versatile. Experts like Pete Burkill and Christel Barron-Hough recommend styles that add softness to the cheekbones and texture near the chin. Suitable options include long layers, medium lengths, or short cuts that emphasize the natural structure rather than attempting to correct it, with celebrity Zendaya cited as an example of successful versatility.
