Me watching this AFTER I impulsively cut them this morning
😂😂😂 impulsively cutting bangs thats me
This makes so much sense now! My forehead is big and I always wondered why a fringe doesn't look good on me. I was today years old when I found out its because my nose and mouth have more visual weight than my eyes and forehead.
I'm so glad you found the explanation helpful! :D
Same!! I have a five-head but bangs have always been a mistake every time I try!
Same here my forehead is big as well.
I think the height of the cranial top is another important factor. I wanted to get bangs for years and then I realized that my head is pretty flat at the top, meaning that bangs don't fall over my forehead like they do on Zooey Deschanel, for example (hers were the bangs of my dreams). So I would have to bring the hair from the back of my head and that would make the bangs look really weird. People with a flat cranial top cannot rock heavy bangs, sadly.
I absolutely agree with that! Didn't want to layer in another factor into this vid but I am prepping a separate hairline + cranial top relationship video ❤️
i've noticed that! The youtube Bestdressed likes to have bangs but when I first saw her I thought it looked kinda off on her face. Her cranial top is too flat/short for bangs and it makes her head look compressed. I think if she wanted to keep the bangs she should puff up her hair on top of her head to balance it out.
Fluff the top of your hair back with hairspray and get some fake bangs to try and make things fun
Ritter is just visually fascinating. On Don't Trust the B in appt 23, she was always styled so perfectly .
I haven’t seen the show but I agree - she does have such an interesting look!
Chloe was evil but gorgeous and fabulous 😭 I also loved watching her in Jessica Jones but obviously that’s a different look
Ive watched hundreds of hair videos over the years and this is by far the best I've ever seen, you explained things so clearly and the examples used were so informative 👏👏👏
Wow, thank you! I'm glad you found the video helpful and informative! 😄
I already have bangs, but I'll watch it anyway.
Visual weight is indeed a very interesting concept.
I agree! I really think it makes analyzing a face so much more interesting 🥰
SUCH A GOOD ANALYSIS thank you.
Your content is so unique and fresh, I'm always hyped up for the new videos! And that's coming from a person pretty obsessed with Kibbe, Essences and Color Seasons, please continue :D
We got the same obsession😅
Thank you so much for the compliment 🥰🙏 will continue my best!
Your content is so unique and helpful! I have not heard anyone else even come close to the information you are providing. Enjoying binge watching your channel. Thank you, Jenn! ❤️
You are so welcome! I'm glad you're finding my content useful ♥♥♥
Amazing! Never considered visual weight of the horizontal segments. I wore bangs for years when I was younger in order to hide my forehead, soften the profile of my more prominent nose on a smallish face to highlight my eyes and cheekbones. (I had forehead wrinkles appearing in my early 20's.) As I was aging I knew that long wispy bangs were more appropriate. Now that I am older I am trying an asymmetrical with one side tucked back and a bit of long bang across my forehead. I still am uncomfortable with my forehead wrinkles, but at 63 I can claim them.
Your videos are so well done! Very fact based and that appeals to me.
Thank you! I'm glad you like the style of my videos :)
Thank you so much Jenn! Your videos are real eye-openers, I love the way how you can analyze things to the tiniest details and how easy to grasp them with your visual illustrations. I am into design and visual harmony for over 20 years and still find a lot of new details in your videos! This one gave me one of those "aha-moments" as well. Fantastic job!
Thank you so much! Happy to hear you're finding the content informational ❤
Such a good video!
The way you explain the different features and bang types is very nice and doesn't put one type of face above the other.
I've always had bangs since I was a kid and it gets on my nerves at times, because it feels like it's the only style of hair I can pull off. It's nice to finally see some examples of people with a face like mine and why bangs might be the cutest option after all.
I do wish celebreties and models weren't used as examples so often. But I do understand, since it would be weird to use regular peoples faces for something like this.
Wow Jenn!!! You gave me the answer I've been looking for forever. I'm the kind that has a balanced face and bangs don't look bad on me, but you explained why it's better without them. They break up the harmony. Thank you so much for all your videos! You have such a unique and profound approach, and you explain everything so clearly. Keep it up!!!!
I'm glad you liked the video and was able to resonate with it! :D Thank you for the sweet comment ❤
Winner. Fantastic video that's so clearly explained. It's exactly what i was searching for. Thank you ❤
Wow I'm so thankful for stumbling on your channel!! I was recently wondering if i should get bangs and what kind and this has cleared up so much!!
I'm so glad you found the video helpful! :)
Your videos are so good! You really break down what feels right visually into why it feels right visually. It can seem like such small info but hair is so impactful in how we feel and how we perceive others. If you ever think a video topic is too niche, I really don’t think so and encourage you to make it. Everyone has a face! :)
Thank you for the compliment! I agree - everyone is different and I want to explore all the different features with my videos :)
This was so helpful. I've been thinking about getting bangs for a while. Now I can analyze my face and figure out if I really should
I’m glad you found the video helpful! 🥰❤️
Thank you! This was very helpful 🤗 I've always had bangs because I like the edgy or cute etc. look they can give, but also because I was influenced (mostly by media) to get them because of my long face and long forehead. However, my middle third is just as long and looks longer because of my long nose, which easily becomes a focal point. Long story short, I'm growing them out to bangs below the cheekbones to see how that looks! 😊
You’re very welcome!! I recall you mentioning you have a French bob? That should help with making your face appear less long already 😄 so growing your bangs out wouldn’t be a bad idea! Try it out and see if you like it 🥰
This explains why I just looked okay with blunt bangs, whilst my friend looks absolutely gorgeous with them! Her eyes are just so sparkly and really make an impact when she wears them blunt. I am considering getting curtain bangs again though, because I love the styling options they give.
👍
Thank you for highlighting many other factors rather than only the length of the forehead! This is the most comprehensive analysis I‘ve seen so far! 👍
Glad it was helpful! Happy new year ❤️
Interesting video. Last year I decided to try bangs and came to the conclusion that my forehead actually is quite nice and shouldn’t be covered up because as you explained it is the combination of the face that looks so striking and in my case this was absolutely true.
I'm glad you were able to find parallels with your experience!
You explain this topic so well. Thank you
Thank you! I'm glad to hear you found it informative :)
This was the best informative video about the topic. I'm not even questioning anymore whether I should get bangs or not.
I'm so glad the video gave you the answer you needed! ❤
Jenn you're so great ❤😭
Another great video Jenn. You are one of the best on CZcams. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the sweet compliment ❤️❤️❤️ truly appreciate it!
This is a great explainer. Congrats on your growth and I look forward to any new videos!
Thank you so much Kris! 🥰❤️
I love your videos so much! It's all so well explained and easy to understand! 💜💜💜 Also love the sound effects theyre so satisfying ahaha
Thank you!! Some people have been saying that they find the sound effects annoying but I’m glad you think otherwise 🤭❤️
Incredible! I am SO glad I found your channel!❤❤❤
Welcome to the channel 💕
I love your video very much. I have had bangs all my life. I have a small round head with a light visual weight. I understand now why my bangs suit me because of you. Because my hair is big and curly, I have a high crown and this gives the illusion of a high forehead due to the height and texture of my hair. My hair also mimics my face shape so there is balance and harmony. Thank you for sharing your detailed knowledge with us, so wonderful
Thank you for sharing your experience as well 🥰❤️ I’m so glad to hear you found the video helpful!!
Wow, i love your perspective!!!! Never looked at it like this. Thank u ❤
You are so welcome! Glad you found the video refreshing ❤
Rings true in my experience! I cut bangs to hide my big forehead. Turned out that hiding my nice brows and clear-skinned forehead drew attention to my middle third - large nose and rosacea!
Lip/chin length pieces - exactly like you have in this video! - would probably be the best of both worlds for me. Thank you so much for explaining!
You're so welcome - I'm glad you found the video helpful in understanding your own features! :)
This was such a helpful video. I’ve been bored with my hair so I wanted to try bangs but now I know that they’d shorten my face and would hide the balance it has. Thank you!!
Glad the video was helpful! :)
This was so well done!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it 😊
This is exactly what I need to know after growing out bangs for the first time. Thank you!
Glad you found the video helpful!
Very professional and helpful!
I'm glad you liked the video! ❤
I learn so much from this channel.
Thank you!! I’m glad you’re finding the content informative 🥰❤️❤️❤️
Great video! Very informative, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great explanation and very helpful to decide what I should do with my bangs. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! ❤
thank god i watched this before my appointment. the me with big eyes, big lips and short square face xD never had bangs before and was thinking of trying them but definitely changed my mind xD
This is the best video on this subject thank you 🤗
Thank you so much for the comment! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Super helpful!!!
Informative and useful! Thank you! 😊
Glad you liked it!
This is super helpful. I normally wear side bangs but they only really look good when straightened, otherwise the wave in my hair makes the bangs too chunky and it's so annoying, lol. Since I have found out from another of your videos that I have "low visual weight" features maybe I will pin my bangs back more often and see if that's better.
Or wispy curtain bags could be a good option too ☺️
hello, i just discovered your channel and i find it amazing! this video helped me understand what bangs suit me best, i just cut them and i look great! thank you so much!!
You're so welcome and thank you for the comment! I'm glad you found the video helpful :)
I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel! I am much older than you, but your videos address questions I have had for the last 25 years! Really enjoying your content. Now, if we can only come up with a new hairstyle for me! I had bangs my whole entire life, until two years ago when I decided to grow them out! I love how easily I can style my hair now, but I’m starting to wonder if I look better with bangs! Will continue watching your videos in hopes of making a educated decision at my next hair appointment. 😁✂ Thanks!!!
You’re very welcome!! I’m glad you’re finding my videos helpful ❤️ will continue to create content that you find useful!! ☺️
As always this was amazing content that I have never heard before! So I THINK my face has low visual weight but a big forehead. I know I look best with bangs - I wish I DIDN’T need to actually, but it’s a huge difference. Do you ever do one-on-one consults with people to help them decide what their hair style and colors should be?
Thank you for the compliment!! I will be opening virtual consultations soon - not for colour unfortunately because I feel like with photos I can’t give the most accurate recommendations due to lighting etc, but hair/makeup suggestions based on proportions definitely! 🥰 I’ll announce it once I have it open so keep an eye out ❤️
Amazing tips!
Thank you Simona! ☺️
I definitely need bangs!!
This explanation of visual weight is so refreshing and interesting! Out of the examples you showed, Priyanka's situation is the closest to me. Not that i look anything like her 😅 but i do have a similar kinda nose hehe. Both thick and wispy bang styles look strange on me, now i know why! At one point in my life i did have longer, side swept bangs. And this style actually doesn't look too bad, and adds some volume too, which is a good thing for me. I have a lot of hair on my head BUT it is very fine and soft so lack of volume is an issue. "Flat" hairstyles generally don't flatter me and i guess it's because of what you explained in another video of people with less curve (?) in the head or distance between their hairline and crown (you explained it much better lol).
Thank you - I’m glad you found the content interesting! I think you’re referring to the cranial top I explained using Kendall Jenner as an example? You’re right - if you have a low cranial top (short distance from hairline to crown) volumizing your roots can help with making your hair appear less flat!
So this actually felt like a math lesson to me. But the best thing about it that I got this one 👌😄 makes perfect sense! Thank you for your explanations, very interesting.
Happy to hear you found the video interesting! 😄
Wow this video was so helpful! I’ve been contemplating bangs for a few weeks and I’ve had them before but they were thick & I just didn’t look right. I’m gonna try thinner ones & I think that’ll help!
Glad you found the video informative! ❤
Your Chanel is so great thanks ❤❤
I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos ❤️
Thank you so much for explaining. I love bangs but I have a normal sized forehead, big eyes, and an even bigger nose. My nose (thick, long, wide, and sticks out pretty far) looks like it takes up most of my face with brow skimming bangs. Without shorter bangs, it's still big but helps it blend in just a little with my surrounding features. I guess I will stick with curtain bangs.
Curtain bangs would be a happy medium for you in still bringing more emphasis to your big eyes without highlighting your nose too much 😊
I should have waited for this video before getting curly bangs last week 😩
☹️
🧚Thank you for another great topic🧚♀ And Krysten Ritter looks soo cute in super short bangs with her beautiful doe eyes, much youthful and plumper.
You're welcome as always :) I agree - Krysten Ritter really has such a fascinating look to her I love it!
Yeeeeey new video🎉😀😀
🥰🎉❤️
I love your videos and find the information so helpful.I wish you could just tell me what to do so I didn’t have to figure it out for myself 😂
😅 it’s not easy because you have to look at all of the features holistically and everyone is different! If you’re interested I am opening up virtual consultations soon so keep an eye out for the announcement 😉
Fantastic video! Subscribed.
Thank you so much! glad you liked the video ❤️
What a great video!! thank you for explaining it so well! now i understand why some people look better with bangs than others. I now see bangs are not for me, Thank you!😇🤗🥳💕
I'm glad you found the video helpful! 😊
This was great info! Always wondered why bangs didn’t work on me!
Glad you liked the video ❤️
i’m in the group of people like dakota johnson and rashida jones. although i do have kinda big eyes, they don’t hold much visual weight imo. the only feature that really stands out is my forehead which is why i have bangs. and everyone loves my bangs so much, including me.
Yet another sign from the universe that I never need to try bangs again! All of my features have low visual weight - except for my nose, which is long and wide at the tip. I’m also fair skinned with light brown hair, and wispy bangs disappear. And curtain bangs just part enough in the center to draw all of the attention to my nose and longer middle third. Good to know!!
Glad you found the video helpful! ❤
Christen Ritter looks particularly great with bangs❤
I agree - it's her EYES! ❤❤❤
Wow, sooooo interesting!!
Thank you - glad you think so! ❤
This totally makes sense! I have always tried to hide my five -finger-high forehead with bangs for the last 50 years but this emphasized my fuller lower face. I am an aging 75 year old Asian and last year decided to embrace my gray hair and grew out my bangs. Now i see the top third, middle third, and bottom third of my face are about equal as my face is on the long side. But my forehead still jumps out and screams 'big forehead here'! Now i think i want to try the soft curtain bangs you suggested in this video by showing a little forehead in the center! However, i wonder if gray hair, especially more white around my face and is thinning a bit, will still work doing this. Any thoughts would be great! I recently stumbled upon your channel and loved the different content, so interesting that i subscribed. Even us over 70 plus years like to look our best.
Hi Joann - welcome to the channel ❤ I think with grey hair the softer curtain bangs will still work - since this style of bangs tend to be on the thinner side anyway I don't think that your hair thinning a bit around the face is going to be a huge concern :)
Your reply is much appreciated, thanks! I am so enjoying your helpful videos!
There's so much great information in this video! 🙏
I came across you cos I was looking for some info on why my bang look so weird once they are just a tiny bit longer than usual and also why straight bangs don't look good on my. I have micro bangs.
And I would Love to see a video on that. Would you be up for making one on who they are suitable for and why?
Could be your eyebrows!! I have a video called Tips for Small Foreheads where I talk about bangs above the eyebrows. Would love to make a separate video about it as well 😃
@@stylemejenn I'd say it's defo cos my forehead is quite long and when my fringe is really short it naturally balances it out. But the hair looks also really sparse once its grown longer.
And now that I'm seeing the comment below from @alebel it might defo also to do with the low cranial top. Anyways I would love to see a video on it from you ☺
I saw that this video was uploaded yesterday, but my co-worker came into work with bangs yesterday. And they looked amazing. So I wanted some bangs SO bad. I decided to cut some this morning! Lol! 😂 And NOW (after the fact) I’m going to watch your video to see if I made a huge mistake. 😅
Do you like your bangs?? As long as you like them that’s all that matters 😆
Wauw, really good video ✨
Glad you liked the video! :)
I've watched several of your videos, and I like the content, but would like to see more women with curly hair included.. Well done.
Noted!
This is the first time I heard about visual weight, and it makes a lot of sense. I'm still confused about my particular situation though: I have a pretty small, squarish forehead and I think my 2/3 is my longest, but not by much compared to my 3/3. My main asset would be my mouth, hands down, and eyes+brows in second place (pretty straight, unremarkable, medium nose). I'd say I'm a Dakota Johnson style when it comes to visual weight.
I get most compliments when I wear a middle part with ''curved curtains'' tucked behind my ears (but not very wispy). A side part with side swept bangs also works, and I feel my worst look is a fully exposed forehead with hair pulled back. But since I have a long face, shouldn't I be exposing it? Or wearing these ''better styles'' creates the illusion I have a bigger forehead and therefore a more balanced face?
If you have a small forehead with a long face I would definitely suggest bangs for you! Since your middle and lower thirds are about the same length, covering your forehead would give the illusion of a more balanced face, but given that the visual weight of your eyes is low, heavier styles of bangs would bring too much emphasis to your eyes which I’d advise against!So it sounds like you’ve already found the right style that works for your proportions! 😊❤️
Gracias! Mi cara es redonda pero mi frente es desproporcionadamente grande, me he dado cuenta que el mejor flequillo para mi es uno que enseñe mis cejas y que tenga mechones a los lados que llegan a mis pómulos. Y ahora, gracias a tu video, entendí el por qué ☺️
Amazing! You’re so welcome - I’m glad the video provided with clarity 💡☺️
Now wonder i hated straight bangs on me 😂 I have a longer looking face and have lots of baby hair that makes my forehead look shorter. I grew them into curtain bangs and now in love with hair again🥰
Curtain bangs are generally more suitable for a lot of faces! 🥰
but what if you have a high forehead and big nose? the attention would go to my nose if i have bangs, but if i dont have bangs the attention would go to my high forehead
Should I be sorry for finding this hilarious
I would suggest long curtain bangs (like the last example of the video)
Amazing content, thank you😊Do you offer a bangs/hairstyle consultation? I would totally pay for it!!!
Should've watched this before cutting my bangs 😅 but lesson learned
Hi there nice content by the way :) there is another point to take in consideration it's the hair you have ! I have a corn on the right side of my hairline beside very thin but wavy hair :-/Thats why personnally I keep going back and forth between the no bang vs bangs hair style lol... the fringe suits me better in terms of face proportion and features but it's a plague in terms of maintenance...
I agree about the maintenance part!
Is it possible that you can make a video like this one using "regular" people photos as examples? Most of the times these celebrities wear a lot of professional make up or have cosmetic surgery done on their faces. It's hard to get an idea from already "perfect" looking faces. Your videos are very informative by the way, thank you for putting so much effort.
Thanks for the compliment! I would love to but the ease with using celebrities is the access to different photos at various angles that can really help with articulating my points 😭 one day I’d love to use a real life example of a before and after! ❤️
Catherine Princess of Wales is rocking curtain bangs and I've started it too. By accident, a breeze brushed them back in the middle and I just wear it that way now.
I like her curtain bangs!
Loved this video! Very informative as always! Just an idea…I love scarves and own many but some look terrible on me because of the shape or colour. Because my face is round and my neck is not very long, I can’t wear choker style for example…..I think that’s why anyway. I’d love to hear you speak about scarves and neck lines!!!❤❤❤
Thanks for the suggestion! I do have a video on Jennifer Aniston (hair up or down is the title of the video) where I explain the effects of the length of your neck so definitely check it out! And I’ll add this to my topics list - it would be good to elaborate on it! ❤️
Thanks 💛
You're welcome 😊
thank you 😊
You’re welcome! ❤️
Hello Jenn can you make a video on how to shorten the midface with makeup and hair ?
Can you make a video on how to change the shape of eyes from almond to round eyes with makeup ?
Hi thanks for the suggestions! I’ve had some people ask about different eye shapes so I’ve added that to the topics list already, but will also add shortening the middle third to the list! In the meantime I do have a video on prominent noses, so definitely check that out 🥰
This explains why bangs look good on me. I have a short, round face and a small forehead. However I have a wide, bulbous nose, but I also have big lips. However people always compliment my eyes when they notice it. By all means bangs should t look good on me. But they bring attention to my eyes and therefore balance the visual weight on my face between my eyes, nose and lips, making it look more balanced. And when I wear red lipstick with my bangs, my nose appears significantly smaller because people's attention is focused on my lips and then my eyes.
Love the video, somuch amazing information! I'm still curious about how bang could affect a man face shape (even if the theory would be the same).... But everything makes more sense, now I know why I look cuter with bangs! 😁
Thank you so much - glad you found the video informational! 🥰❤️ The theory would apply the same way for men, but it’s the standard that’s different! For example, for women a prominent nose may commonly be an undesirable trait while for men it is, so even if the nose becomes more highlighted it could be good or bad depending on how you look at it! So in the end it comes down to your preference ☺️ hope that helps!
Great video
Thank you! Glad you liked it :)
Can you please make a video on Rihanna's facial features?
Great vid! Any thoughts on bangs for women with a long lower third?
Thank you! I generally don't recommend bangs for people with longer lower thirds - and same tip as in the video, if you MUST wear bangs then choose a thinner style of curtain bangs. I have a video on longer lower thirds that I think you'd find helpful! czcams.com/video/k8dI08Wv0Z0/video.html
Jenn saludos desde Panamá......buen video
muchas gracias!! ❤❤❤
Oh my goodness, this is so informative. Your content, delivery and the examples you show are excellent.
I wasn't sure why i looked better without bangs until you showed the last example pf priyanka chopra, thanks!! ❤
I’m glad you found the video helpful! 🥰❤️
Hi Jenn 🙌 I dream about getting bangs since I was in school 😭 I have curly hair...
Hello! I think that curly bangs are a super cute look too 🥰❤️ so if it works for your proportions I think it’s still a good idea!
The research I have done after watching your videos, dear peachies videos, and Aly Art's videos just to figure out what to do with my hair.... It's starting to get concerning to friends and family 😂
😂😂 Been there done that!! Haha ❤️
Eu gostaria de saber como seria para cabelo cacheado e volumoso.
I have a normal forehead like it’s not too big or small at all. Maybe a tinyyyy bit small but it’s mostly normal size. And I want to get micro bangs but I’m so scared. Tbh my face area is a little big if u look long enough. It’s like outwards more than inwards. Also my face is a little bit long but I wear big glasses so that makes it appear shorter
Could you do a video on hairstlyes or bangs when you have an uneven hairline, thinning hairline or cowlick hairline?
I’ll add it to my list and see what I can come up with!
I remember straight blunt bangs were soooo popular in school and I got made fun because I have a medium to high forehead (trapezium shape). I tried bangs and they were so ugly on me. I have a short face and it's diamond shaped with fuller cheeks. It emphasized my wide cheeks and smaller chin. 😭
Same for me! When I had bangs it highlighted my cheekbones in an unflattering way 😢
My face shape is heart shape with widows peak so can i get see-through bangs? and ya i have short hair too please reply it will help me so much!
I have prominent cheekbones, a big forehead, a fairly wide nose and a big chin. I also have hooded eyes. What should I do with my hair?😭
