Absolutely right. Face shape theory misses out on size of forehead. I thought I had oval face for longest time due to my long and broad forehead but I don't. And side bangs have worked for me which theoretically shouldn't.

This is the best, most detailed explanation I've ever seen about wearing bangs. Thank you so much!

The nose makes a difference, too. I have a narrow face and a high forehead, so I've always read that I should wear straight-across bangs. However, I also have a long nose, so straight bangs make me look the cartoon depiction of a 1950s beatnik. I do sideswept bangs.

Finally, a video that addresses the long face shape correctly. I've seen so many videos advising long faces to get bangs to shorten the face but when I tried it just made my face look shapeless, lengthened my nose and made my eyes even smaller. Realised that revealing my forehead made me look so much better and never understood why until I read somewhere that bangs on a long face will draw attention to your midface, not your eyes.

I've been watching your videos for a while, and I always am amazed at how the information you share is not the same as what everyone else shares. It's not a rehash of the same info that float around, stuff I already know or have heard a thousand times. In every video you post I actually always learn something new and useful that I haven't heard anyone share yet. Your videos are really great, thank you so much for all of your help!!!

I'm going to send this to one of my relatives next time they tell me to get bangs! Very informative, I enjoyed this video

You know this type of video helps you a lot in knowing your physical uniqueness and maximizing your natural beauty. I started watching more of videos like this after realizing how weird I looked when I had bangs, or when certain types of clothing didn't look flattering on me or like why wing liner didn't compliment my eye shape. Sometimes when I get my makeup done, I told the makeup artist certain points of my face features that made them wonder how did you know that? Or when my friends and I were casually talking about fashion and suddenly I mention how body shapes affect the clothes we have on etc... I feel my confidence grows better rather than just putting on everything I want just because it's on trend or looking good on others.

This is a great video, and I like how you mentioned the drawbacks of face shape theory as well.

I have a round face and I'd like to share my personal preference for bangs in hopes someone who also has a round face and reads this doesn't get discouraged if they want to keep their bangs 🥰.

For context, my face is round, small and I have a small forehead and voluminous dark hair (it's very easy for my face to become rounder because of this). I keep my bangs short and mostly full (completely full will make my face rounder), just above the brows, this adds drama and attention to my eyes and eyebrows which are my favourite part of my face, while also hiding the forehead enough to make it seem bigger (volume and fluffiness of my natural hair helps with this). I also like to keep the side bangs as you showed in the video to add length to my face. I need to keep them longer like the Selena Gomez pic, it's more flattering on my smaller face.

Without bangs, my face can become rounder because of my bulky hair, and with my small forehead exposed the lower part of my face becomes bigger, and my whole face is more plain because there is no attention to my eyes anymore.

In short, my bangs change my face dramatically and even as a round face I keep them to highlight the key features of my face. As stated in the video, it definitely is possible to have bangs even with a round face 🥰

This is so accurate, I never agreed with someone more in these type of videos where it seems no one can thing and judge for themselves and just say what others say

[Lilyium]

Basically just get bangs one day to experiment. If it looks good and makes you happy keep it. If it looks bad, it's hair...it will grow back. Good luck!

Oh my god, finally a video that makes me understand what fringe could suit me. Although I was looking for actual fringes and not hairbands, the theory applies to it literally the same way so this has been extremely helpful!
As an oval face shape with a long forehead “ovals can get any type of fringe” has never been helpful. I already have side bangs, but I was trying to find out wether a fringe with a little more hair in the middle would suit me better. I suppose I got my answer. Thank you so much!

[anastasias]

Me pausing the video every 20” to look myself in the mirror just to remember how my face looks like😂

Thanks for the helpful video ☺️

[Sakura]

I usually lose focus on videos longer than 2 minutes, but this video was so entertaining and went by so quickly at an amazing pace! I loved your explanation and the pictures you used to support it!
You’re amazing! Thanks for your help :)

[Belbecat]

omg, thank you I always wondered why my supposed oval face good for all hair styles or whatever felt like BS! You're so right, there's more to consider! Thanks!

[pulgasari]

I'm convinced noses have a lot to do with this as well. Large or aqualine noses never seem to suit a fringe, whereas smaller noses do.

[bunn]

This was explained in such a easy to understand fun way with lots of examples. I really enjoyed this thank you! 😊

[littlemom]

Chi. You’re so perceptive. Excellent content not available anywhere else.

[Silverlight]

Beautifully and perfectly well-explained.
I have a pear shaped face and hairstyles are a struggle for me 😒

[Ekaterinaway]

Great video Chi, you taught me the missing part no one talks about! I love your new hair color!

[sylly]

This is the best explanation of the subject I have ever come across!
