Every now and again you'll see a headline screaming that "bangs are back!" Here's a secret: bangs were never gone. When paired with the right face shape, they can help balance out your features, improve the look of your style, and reference women with major fashion cred like Jane Birkin, Audrey Hepburn, and Brigitte Bardot. Not to mention, they can give you a refreshing boost in confidence and add a little panache to a hair length you're hesitant to give up. Here, we've got the ultimate look book for your best bangs ever. Determine the right set of fringe for your face, stick with it, and feel free to make it your signature.

Round About
Whether long, short, or medium, sideswept bangs are the way to go with a round face. How do you know if you're round? Your forehead has the same width as your jawline and you likely have prominent cheeks. Some women lament their round faces, but they get the last laugh, as those faces tend to stay youthful-looking well into adulthood.

Square-faced ladies have a couple of options in the bangs department. If you want to add feminine sex appeal, feel free to give yourself a sideswept set. If you want to add a cool, mod, vibe to your look, you can go ahead and do blunt fringe. Heidi Klum shows us she can do both in these slides — and so can you!

Oval
An oval-faced girl can do it all, virtually. Long and blunt, thick, wispy, and sideswept. In fact, some stylists say the whole point of bangs on other face shapes is to create lines that give the illusion of an oval visage. Nice. The only thing to steer clear of if your oval is on the long side: short, choppy bangs, they'll make your face look longer.

Take Heart
Reese is THE celeb poster girl for heart-shaped gals everywhere. If in doubt, look at Reese to see if the shape of your face resembles hers. Heart shapes are fairly rare. But if you've got a feline jawline and a prominent chin, chances are you're a good candidate. Ladies with heart (faces) can do long or short bangs. But beware, they should be swept to the side, thin, and wispy. Too-blunt or too-thick bangs will make your face look short. A set of blended fringe complemented by multiple layers can be very flattering indeed.
