Thinking about cutting bangs but not sure where to start? Whether you’re craving a new look or tired of fighting forehead lines and frizz, bangs can be the ultimate beauty move—when done right.
In this episode of the Beauty Lab Podcast, co-hosts Monina and Velia break down everything you’ve ever wanted to know about bangs. From choosing the right bang style for your face shape to avoiding common mistakes (like trimming them too short in a panic), this guide will help you make confident choices—whether you’re seeing your stylist or standing at the mirror with scissors in hand.
When clients want a big change without losing length, bangs are the go-to move. They're fast, fresh, and totally transformative. Bonus? They hide thinning hairlines and forehead lines better than Botox.
Monina shares a personal story about skipping her signature bangs on her wedding day—let’s just say the regret was real. Bangs aren’t just a style choice—they can totally shift how youthful and refreshed you look.
Nope. While the shape or texture may change with trends, bangs are timeless. The trick is choosing a version that works for your hair type, face shape, and styling commitment level.
Velia breaks it down with five go-to face shapes and what works best for each:
1. Round Face (think Selena Gomez, Emma Stone):
Opt for curtain bangs or soft, textured fringe that tapers on the sides. Avoid blunt cuts.
2. Square Face (Olivia Wilde, Angelina Jolie):
Go for long side-swept bangs or wispy curtain bangs to soften angular features.
3. Heart-Shaped Face (Reese Witherspoon):
Wispy full bangs or textured curtain bangs work well. Let some forehead peek through to create visual balance.
4. Oval Face (Tyra Banks, Julia Roberts):
You lucky babes can rock just about any bang—full, curtain, side-swept—you name it.
5. Diamond Face (Velia herself!):
Side bangs and soft fringe that add width at the top help balance narrow foreheads and sharp cheekbones.

If your forehead is really short, bangs can be tricky. Try light face-framing layers instead of full fringe.
Clip-in bangs can give you the look without the chop. Great for experimenting before booking the salon visit.
Hard no. Unless you already have bangs and your stylist has shown you how to trim them, don’t do it. If you must, at least film it—you’ll go viral when it goes sideways.
