Both renders are HairGlam output. In the app the style lands on your photo instead.

The section is parted deep to one side so there is enough hair to carry across the forehead, and the cut runs on a long diagonal rather than a curve. Direction matters more than length here: the bangs have to be dried away from the part first and then pushed across, or they split and drops back into the eyes. It is forgiving as it grows, because the long side simply joins the layers around the face.

  • Suitsround, square, heart face shapes. The diagonal denies a round or square outline its symmetry and covers one corner of a wide forehead, narrowing the top of the face.
  • Hair typefine, medium density, thick, straight, wavy. Any texture that can be dried in a set direction works, though tight curl will not hold the sweep and springs back toward the part.
  • UpkeepTrim every six to eight weeks, and daily styling is a minute of directional drying with the part set on the deeper side.
  • Ask forAsk for long side-swept bangs from a deep side part, cut on a diagonal down to the cheekbone on the longer side.
