“Long Hair Styles with Bangs are Hot”

Are you frightened to cut in bangs without knowing if you’ll like them or not? Well, I’m a visual girl and I think seeing is believing. First of all if you don’t know what shape best describes your face shape, find out from your hair stylist or at the link at the end of this article.  

Take a look at some of these hair style makeovers from Oprahs Great American Haircut show below or go to her web site. It might help you to take the plunge. See what these top celebrity hairstylists did to update these long hair styles for this spring and summer.

Jen’s has a longer oval face shape and her before hair style just drags her face shape down.  Her new brow skimming bangs with highlights make her look younger and more vibrant!

Carries long side swept bangs and length flatter her round face shape. Deepening her over-highlighted hair color and then adding back in some highlights, adds a healthy glow to her face.

Carol says she just “got in a rut.” Her pear face shape, more narrow at the temples getting wider at the jawline, was more apparent with her long hair style. They literally took off years and added balance to her face shape by cutting in bangs and shortening her hair style. They deepened her hair color by only one or two shades and added subtle highlights back in. She loved it and said she “feels younger.”

Toyka says she “loves” her new long hairstyle. Her subtle heart face shape is balanced with brow skimming bangs.

Extensions were added for length and she claims it’s much easier to handle with her busy life style.

Leang, who has a cross between square and round face shape, updated her look by adding in some choppy bangs and layers to her still long hair style.

Lauren has a rectangular face shape and by styling in smooth brow skimming bangs it shortens the appearance of her face shape and balances it out nicely.

Hope this helps take away some fear if you’ve wanted to take the plunge and make a change to your long hairstyle but just couldn’t quite get up the guts to cut it. But, first if you don’t know this, find out what your face shape here in Hairstyles with Bangs are they right for you?
