Thread: Should I get blunt bangs like Zooey Deschanel?

  1. #1

    Lightbulb Should I get blunt bangs like Zooey Deschanel?

    Here is my picture:

    This is what my hair normally looks like after i brush it and it air drys. And yeah I totally blurred out my face, haha. But i left my eyes cause I felt like that was crucial to the bangs look I'm asking about.

    And here is what type(s) of haircut I'd like: (cause her bangs kinda look different in every picture)

    I love the little 'wispies'... i don't know the name for the hair that is hanging down on both sides... So I may or may not have made up that term. haha

    But anyways, I always loved her hair and I don't know if a similar cut would look good or bad on me, and I'm tired of my hair being so... plain. I want something new and exciting.

    So I was just wondering if anybody could tell me if they think this would look awful or really good on me. (cause I know certain face shapes look really weird with different haircuts) Or even suggest pictures of other hairstyles that would look good on me. Thank you

    For what it's worth, I think they would look really good on you but I'm partial to bangs! I would never grow mine out. Bangs can be restyled even without cutting, it's a short timeline if you choose to grow them a little longer on the sides, you can get different looks from the front view even if your hair is in the same updo daily, you can just wash your bangs if you don't want to wash the length - oh, I could go on! It is quite a change, but even if the particular bang style turned out that you didn't feel it was the image you wanted to project, bang styles can be easily altered. If you do do it, I hope you give us a peek! Good luck!

    I love blunt bangs! But I'm growing mine out. I think they would look great on you, although it would look different from Zooey, because you have a smaller forehead. Just go for it!

    I vote for the bangs, I think they'd suit you.

    I am a huge fan of the wispies too.

    I think they'd look great on you, BUT I think I would probably prefer your hair the way it already is. Just like how not everyone can pull off bangs, not everyone can pull off NOT having bangs. You seem to have the rare sort of face that would look great either way.

    I have the sort of face that looks stupid without bangs, but I don't do bangs because I have two annoying cowlicks RIGHT where the bangs would be. You're a very lucky girl.

    Well, let's approach this differently.

    You will not look like her- Your jaw is more defined and angular, you have a shorter, narrower forehead (one of the reasons she has bangs- if you look at her sister they both have a fairly broad forehead)

    That being said, I do think that you COULD wear bangs should you wish to. You will have to devote quite a bit of your hairline to them in order to get the same effect, so your hair will feel thinner. As someone growing out similar bangs, you should also be prepared to trim every two weeks to keep them at this length. Too short will give you a Betty Page look and too long will tangle in your eyelashes and drive you nuts, not to mention sunglasses/specs.

    But it is a fun, flirty look, and if you get tired of it there are pretty headbands and clips that will make the growing out transition easier. You only live once!!

    So, as long as you are okay with the fact that you won't look like her, and know that VERY few people pull off that look as successfully as she does and the maintenance involved , I think you should go for it!

    OK you asked. I'm not fond of that look on anyone. I think it's too much hair on the face. I don't think it's flattering on anyone. JMO. I think it's a fad thing right now Personally, wouldn't want to grow out bangs that are cut that far back. Start with a few wispy strands and go from there. I think you look gorgeous now.

    I love those kinds of bangs, and I think it would suit you. Just make sure it dosent get too top heavy, as in too much hair in the bangs from the top of your head. Better to start slow, and take more if you feel you need it. Good luck
