A Full Blunt Fringe Shortens the Forehead

Many women think that the blunt bang may shorten the forehead but as long as it starts a few inches back it can actually make your forehead look better. These bangs are ultra-trendy with a long bob hairstyle.

Long Side-Swept Bangs Creates Length

Keep the side bangs as long as possible to create the illusion of length around your forehead. These are great for somebody who doesn’t want the maintenance and commitment of blunt bangs but still wants the bang-benefits for their shorter forehead.

 

Graduated Bangs Frame Your Face

These soft bangs will frame your face and because they are a long blunt bang they will give your forehead length. Keep the edges soft so that it doesn’t overtake your small or soft facial features. It’s also a good idea to make the bangs wide so that it blends into your hair but also do make sure it works with your face shape.
