Trendy long side bangs have face-framing features that go in a diagonal line across the forehead. They’re perfect for hiding larger foreheads and skin imperfections and are known to have a slimming effect.
The best hair types for longer side bangs are wavy to straight due to the ease of styling with these textures. Curly hair may need a bit more help and product to achieve the desired results.
According to hairstylist Arijana Arci of Louisville, KY, “If you’re more of a wash-and-go type of woman, longer side bangs won’t do you any good. These bangs have high upkeep and need daily styling.”
Arci recommends blow-drying when styling side bangs that are long. Blow-drying amps up bangs in an instant – giving it a relaxed, chic finish. With this, it creates an illusion of prominent cheekbones and well-defined jawline.
