Short Cropped Bangs – Who Should, Who Shouldn’t
Short baby bangs look great on almost everyone, but there are still some specific face shapes and hair textures that don’t lend themselves well to the style. If you’re a woman with the triangular face shape, you might want to steer away from too-short bangs, because they could make your forehead look too wide and the mid-section of your face too narrow. Also, if you’re a girl with ultra-wavy or curly hair, you might have difficulties maintaining a short bangs look, because, at the slightest hint of humidity, the bangs will either bulge out and lose their shape, or shrink up, up and away.
Take a look at these 20 short bang options and select one that will work best for you!
