I almost always get side-swept bangs when I get my hair cut. I love these bangs because when I wear my hair in a ponytail, which I do quite often (hello, new motherhood and hot, sticky summer days!), the sweep of the bangs hides my large forehead and frames my face beautifully. My forehead is so high that without bangs, I can look as if I have no hair. Seriously.
I read somewhere that square faces photograph the best. Apparently the angles of the jaw and the cheeks mean square faces don’t photograph “flat.” I also read somewhere that women with square faces tend to age better than the rest of us. While long faces just get skinnier and longer and round faces tend to get plumper, square faces tend to stay strong and angular and hide flaws like the turkey waddle.
