Trend Watch: Bangin' Bangs for Summer

With every season comes change, and this summer is no exception. 

As the clothing decreases and playtime increases, a necessary update to your winter hairstyle shouldn’t shock the swimsuit right off of you. But as we all know, change can be difficult, and parting with long locks can prove to be painful. Thankfully, stars and celebrities have been blazing the trail for us with the perfect solution-- bangs, from long and blunt to side-swept and wispy.

Bangs have the power to instantly transform your tresses from drab to chic, with only a few snips and clips. The good news is that these face-framers are flattering on just about anyone, showcasing your bone-structure, bright eyes, and irresistible summer smile. But take caution, fellow hair-revolutionaries: fresh bangs are not one size fits all. Finding the best style for your face-shape is essential to rocking the look. To help you decide on the perfect bangin’ bangs for summer in San Diego, we’ve compiled a few must-know suggestions.

Discover what bangs are right for you and where to get styled in San Diego.

Round Face: Try long, feathery bangs that curve inward, adding contour to your features. For this style, the more layers, the better.

Rectangle or Oval face: Your best bet is pulling off some blunt, brow-brushing bangs that will shorten your features. You’re safe to try a little more funk or a little more flow, so play with different textures. 

Square face: Long, side-swept bangs will be your best look, as they taper down towards your jaw line. The wispier, the better – feathery layers will help to soften the angles of your face.
