Are you considering a fresh look? A bob haircut with bangs could be your next big style move. We sat down with hair guru Linda Miller, who’s got years of experience and a sharp eye for hair. She shared her insights on what to think about for your new ‘do.
Styling for Every Face Shape
“First, think about your face shape,” Linda states. “An oval face works with any bob style. For round faces, steer clear of chin-length cuts. Instead, try a bob that hits below the chin or has more volume at the crown. This adds length to your look.”
Choosing the Right Bangs
Linda advises, “For square faces, a chin-length bob with side-swept bangs is best. If you opt for blunt bangs, keep the cut above the jawline. A bob with layers around your face can help soften a strong jawline.”
Key Points to Consider Before Getting a Bob with Bangs:
Face Shape: Determine your face shape (oval, round, square, heart) to find a bob style that complements your features.
Bangs Type: Decide what type of bangs suit you best—blunt, side-swept, curtain bangs, or wispy bangs.
Maintenance: Understand that bangs require regular trims to maintain their shape and style.
Hair Texture: Consider how your hair texture (straight, wavy, curly) will affect the style and upkeep of both the bob and bangs.
Styling Time: Be prepared to spend extra time styling bangs daily to achieve your desired look.
Commitment Level: Assess your willingness to commit to the change, especially if you’re transitioning from longer hair.
Hair Health: Ensure your hair is healthy enough for a cut; damaged hair might not hold the style as well.
Stylist’s Input: Consult with your stylist for personalized advice based on your hair type and lifestyle before making the cut.
