5 amazing Ways To Do Bangs Over 40

1-Parted Bangs

Best on: Women with oval or diamond-shaped faces, since parted bangs frame the face to help it appear less angular, says Whitney Bowe, MD, a New York City dermatologist specializing in skin rejuvenation and a clinical assistant professor of dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center.

But your hair type matters, too: Medium hair thickness is best for these bangs; if it's too thick, the bangs are likely to overpower your face, but if it's too fine, you may not have enough hair, explains Fabrice Gili, creative director at Fekkai SoHo in New York.

What to say at the salon: Ask your stylist to create a bang with straight-across ends that brush the tails of your brows and are free of layers or texturizing, Gili says. At home, you'll gently push them to the sides at the center or slightly off-center for the look Jennifer Garner sports here.

2-Textured Bangs

Best on: Women with heart-shaped faces, since these bangs accentuate symmetry, Bowe says. This slightly feathered bang also suits straight, typically-flat hair, since its texture adds dimension and contrast, Gili adds.

What to say at the salon: These bangs are fuller and more texturized than the middle-parted bangs, and should end just below the arches of your brows. Gili advises asking your stylist to texturize your bangs in between your eyes, while leaving the sides thicker, which draws visual attention to your eyes without overpowering them. "Keeping the sides thicker makes the look strong from the side, too—textured bangs look amazing with a high ponytail," Gili adds.

3-Wispy Bangs

Best on: Women with small faces; these light bangs add texture but aren't heavy enough to overwhelm your features, Gili says. Bonus: because they can be worn a little longer than thicker bangs, these bangs can mask the creases that form between eyebrows with repetitive frowning, Bowe says.

What to say at the salon: Make sure the stylist brings your hair to the bridge of your nose before cutting them with a jagged blade so they fall at brow height, says Edward Tricomi, master stylist and founder of Warren-Tricomi Salons in New York City, East Hampton, and Tokyo. This snipping strategy creates different dimension on the edges of the bangs and lends them their purposely-uneven edge, Gili adds.

4-Side-Swept Bangs

Best on: Pretty much everyone, thanks to the deep side part it creates. No matter what your face shape, you're likely to have a bit of asymmetry to your face, and a deep side part balances that asymmetry by providing a pleasing sort of asymmetry of its own, Bowe says. They're also a slam-dunk for low maintenance women: They don't need to be trimmed as often of bangs that sit above your brows, don't need much styling if your hair is straight or wavy, and grow out easily because they blend well with the cut you already have, says Gili.

5-Blunt Bangs

Best on: Anyone with a prominent forehead, since this bold look balances it by drawing attention to your cheekbones and jawline instead, Bowe says. This blunt bang flatters an oval or round face shape best, and having medium-to-thick hair is key, Gili adds. Maintenance alert—this type of bang needs to be blown straight daily to achieve its signature sleekness, Tricomi explains.

What to say at the salon: Request straight-across, blunt fringe that skims your lashes, Gili instructs. If the bangs appear too thick after the stylist cuts them, ask them to snip some layers into the bangs and to make them appear softer, Tricomi adds.
