Bangs are the cut everyone considers and many regret. The reason is simple: fringe is borderline on every face, and the wrong style ages you or shrinks your forehead. Preview before you cut.

Testing bangs on your photo is the only way to know if curtain, side-swept, or straight fringe works for you. Here's how to try them on the hairstyle try-on tool.
