Who it suits

The catalog lists oval, square, heart-shaped and long (oblong) face shapes as suiting the korean air bangs. It marks no face shape as a weaker fit.

For an oval face: Balanced proportions: most cuts work, so pick for your lifestyle. For a square face: Soften a strong jaw with texture, layers and movement. For a heart-shaped face: Balance a wider forehead; add fullness near the jaw.

The catalog pictures it on straight hair. The catalog says a stylist can usually cut it on straight hair, and leaves wavy, curly and coily hair off that list, so ask a stylist who works with your texture.

FitMyFace hair previews are approximations, not predictions of how your hair will lie after a cut. Ordinary hairstyle try-ons perform face analysis on-device. The optional AI previews (hair and glasses) send a photo to Cloudflare; your consent is the one "I agree" on the scan screen, and a switch on the results turns them off.
