Okay, so, I’ve been thinking about changing up my hairstyle lately. My face is, like, super square, and I heard that bangs could really help soften things up. So, I decided to give it a shot. I went down this rabbit hole of researching bangs for square faces, you know, just scrolling through tons of pictures and articles.

First, I looked up different styles of bangs. There were so many options! Curtain bangs, wispy bangs, side-swept bangs – it was a bit overwhelming. After hours of looking, I decided to go with curtain bangs. They seemed like a good middle ground, not too drastic but still stylish.
Next, I needed to figure out how to actually get them. I’m not a hair stylist, obviously, so I watched a bunch of YouTube tutorials. Some people were cutting their own bangs, but I didn’t trust myself enough for that. I booked an appointment at a local salon that had good reviews. It felt safer, and it did.
At the salon, I showed the stylist the pictures I’d saved. She agreed that curtain bangs would look good and suggested adding some layers around my face to soften it even more. I trusted her judgment – she’s the professional, after all.
She started by washing my hair and then carefully sectioned off the front part. I could feel the anticipation as she made the first few snips. It’s always a little nerve-wracking getting a new haircut, right? She worked slowly and methodically, checking in with me to make sure I liked the length and shape.
- Washed my hair
- Sectioned off the front
- Carefully cut the bangs
- Added layers around the face
- Styled with a round brush and hairdryer
Once she was done cutting, she styled my hair with a round brush and a hairdryer. The bangs fell perfectly, framing my face just like in the pictures. She showed me how to style them myself at home, which was super helpful.
I have to say, I’m really happy with how it turned out! The curtain bangs definitely soften my square face, and the layers add a nice touch. It’s a subtle change, but it makes a big difference. I feel more confident and stylish. Plus, it’s been fun experimenting with different ways to style them. Sometimes I wear them straight, other times I give them a little wave.
A few tips if you’re thinking about getting bangs:
- Do your research and find a style that suits your face shape.
- Find a good stylist who you trust.
- Be open to their suggestions.
- Learn how to style your bangs at home.
- Have fun with it!
So, yeah, that’s my bangs story. It was a bit of a process, but totally worth it. If you’re on the fence about getting bangs, I say go for it! Just make sure you’re prepared to put in a little extra effort to style them. Trust me, it’s worth it.
