Suitable for those with a high forehead, asymmetrical bangs can emphasize cheekbones and avoid drawing attention to facial imperfections. Long bangs swept to the side can also conceal forehead lines.
A cropped cut, like Viola Davis's, avoids the need for heat styling and chemical processing, keeping hair healthy and youthful. It should be styled to maintain a low-maintenance look that frames the face.
For thick hair, a shoulder-length cut with minimal, face-framing layers can prevent the unflattering triangle effect and look polished. The length should be at least to the shoulders but can vary based on face shape.
A chin-length curly bob, as seen on Jane Fonda, can lift facial features and provide a non-surgical facelift effect by drawing attention away from imperfections.
Wavy hair looks youthful and vibrant with loose waves and face-framing layers. Perimeter layers cut in a straight line can enhance the softness and movement of the hair.
For curly hair, layers can showcase natural texture and add dimension. Keeping layers not too short and using styling creams can help maintain definition and reduce frizz.

A bold style like Tilda Swinton's, with tight sides and a voluminous top, can frame the face well. For thin hair, cutting at the ends can create more volume and movement.
