What does the “should I get bangs” check measure?
Whether bangs work depends on how much forehead there is to frame, the outline of your face and how your hair behaves each morning. The check measures the first two from your photo and asks you about the rest. It places 478 landmarks, uses the hairline you set to work out what share of your visible face height is forehead, compares forehead width with face width and estimates your face shape, then scores six fringe styles.
Forehead height and width from your photo
A taller forehead, about 34% or more of the visible face height, gives fuller fringes such as curtain, blunt and bottleneck bangs room to sit. A shorter forehead, under 30%, suits lighter side-swept or wispy bangs that do not crowd the eyes. A wide forehead adds a point for curtain and side-swept styles, which soften the corners. When your face fills enough of the frame, the forehead height is also shown in millimetres, scaled from the size of your iris.
Check your face shapeYour face shape and hair texture
Each fringe is matched to the face shapes it flatters: curtain bangs to round, square and heart faces, blunt bangs to long and oval faces, wispy bangs to oval, heart and diamond faces. Texture matters too, because a blunt fringe needs straight hair, while a soft curly fringe is built for curls.

Why check before you get bangs?
Bangs take months to grow out, so a two-minute check is cheap insurance. This tool asks “should I get bangs?” with your own measurements instead of a generic quiz, explains every point in the ranking and keeps your photo on your device.
Your routine is part of the answer
You tell the check how long you will style your hair each day, whether you have a front cowlick, whether you wear glasses and how dense your hair is. A blunt fringe loses points with a cowlick or fine hair, styles that need more minutes than you have are pushed down, and glasses favour curtain, side-swept and bottleneck bangs that clear the frames. If your head is turned more than 12°, the check asks for a straighter photo instead of guessing.

Should I get bangs? FAQ
How would I look with bangs?
Your forehead height, face shape and hair texture decide how bangs sit. This check measures the first two from your photo and ranks the fringe types that suit them. To actually see a fringe on your face, ask for bangs in the note of the AI hairstyle try-on.
What are curtain bangs?
Curtain bangs are a fringe parted in the middle that sweeps to both sides, framing the face like opened curtains. They are longer at the edges, blend into layers and grow out easily, which is why the check often ranks them first for first-time bangs.
Should I get bangs?
Get bangs if your forehead has room for them, your face shape is flattered by a fringe and your daily routine allows a few minutes of styling. The check above weighs all three and shows which fringe type fits best, or whether a light, longer fringe is the safer start.
How to get bangs?
Ask your stylist for a specific fringe type, such as long curtain bangs, and bring a photo. Start longer than you think, because bangs can always be trimmed shorter. Use the ranking above to decide which type to ask for.
Do bangs look good on round faces?
Yes, when they add length. Long curtain bangs and side-swept bangs open the face and draw the eye downwards; a heavy straight-across fringe can make a round face look shorter. The check gives curtain and side-swept styles extra points for round faces.
Should I get curtain bangs?
Curtain bangs are the lowest-risk fringe: they suit round, square and heart faces, work with straight, wavy and curly hair and grow out gracefully. If the check ranks them first or second for you, they are a good place to start.
What bangs suit oval faces?
Oval faces suit most fringes. The check favours wispy, blunt, bottleneck and soft curly bangs for oval faces, then narrows the choice using your forehead height and hair texture.
Is there a should I get bangs quiz?
This works like a quiz, but your forehead and face shape are measured from a photo instead of guessed. You only answer the questions a photo cannot: texture, cowlick, styling time and glasses.
Is there a should I get bangs filter?
This check does not draw bangs on your photo; it measures and ranks. For a visual preview, the AI hairstyle try-on can include a fringe when you ask for one in its note.
Should I get bangs with curly hair?
Yes, with the right cut. A soft curly fringe or long curtain bangs work with curls; blunt bangs do not. Choose Curly in the check and it ranks only the styles that suit curly texture highly.
Should I get bangs if I wear glasses?
You can. Longer fringes that sit above or to the sides of the frames, such as curtain, side-swept and bottleneck bangs, work best. The check adds a point to those when you answer Yes to glasses.
Should I get bangs if I have a big forehead?
Bangs are a classic way to balance a tall forehead. When your forehead is about 34% or more of the visible face height, the check favours curtain, blunt and bottleneck bangs that cover more of it.
Should I get bangs at 40, 50 or 60?
Age is not a rule. Softer, longer fringes often suit mature skin and can soften forehead lines, while very blunt short bangs are harder to wear. Forehead, face shape and routine matter more than the number.
How does the bangs check work?
Each fringe earns points for matching your face shape (4), texture (3), forehead height (2), forehead width (1) and glasses (1). A cowlick removes 4 points from blunt bangs, fine hair removes 2 from blunt and adds 1 to wispy, thick hair adds 1 to blunt, and styles that need more time than you have lose 2. The top four are shown.
Which fringe types can it suggest?
Six: long curtain fringe, side-swept fringe, wispy fringe, brow-length blunt fringe, bottleneck fringe and soft curly fringe. Switch to the men's set to see the matching men's names, such as a French crop or textured crop fringe.
What if I have a cowlick?
A front cowlick pushes hair up or sideways, which fights a blunt fringe. Answer Yes and the check lowers blunt bangs so styles that work with the lift, such as side-swept or curtain bangs, move up.
