Blunt bangs: what it is, who it suits and what to tell your barber

Blunt bangs is a medium-length cut listed under women's and men's cuts in the FitMyFace catalog. The catalog describes it this way: full blunt bangs cut straight across at eyebrow length, the rest of the hair ending at the shoulders, keeping the person's own natural hair texture (waves stay waves, curls stay curls); no straightening of the rest of the hair.

Who it suits

The catalog lists oval and long (oblong) face shapes as suiting the blunt bangs. It marks round, square and heart-shaped faces as a weaker fit for this cut.

For an oval face: Balanced proportions: most cuts work, so pick for your lifestyle. For a long (oblong) face: Add width at the sides; a fringe shortens a long face.

The catalog pictures it on straight hair. The catalog says a stylist can usually cut it on straight, wavy, curly and coily hair.

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.
