Face framing layers and bangs

Long front pieces that open up the face, without committing to a full fringe.

Overview

Face framing is a way of cutting the front of your hair, not a single fringe. The pieces closest to your face are cut shorter than the rest, usually landing somewhere between the cheekbones and the jaw, and blend into the layers behind them. Face-framing bangs are the shortest version: long, soft bangs that split and sweep to the sides. Because the length stays, they grow out without an awkward stage, which is why stylists often suggest them to people who are unsure about bangs. This is different from curtain bangs, which are one specific centre-parted fringe that ends around the cheekbones, and from micro or baby bangs, which sit high across the forehead.

Face framing styles to try

All of these are in the try-on list. The right starting point for the shortest piece depends on your face shape.

Framing styles

  • Long face-framing layers

    The shortest piece starts at the chin or collarbone and blends down. The easiest version to grow out.

  • Face-framing bangs

    Long bangs that split and fall between the cheekbones and the jaw, a softer take on a fringe.

  • Cheekbone-length framing

    Starts at the cheekbones to highlight them; good on oval and long faces.

  • Wispy side-swept framing

    Light pieces swept to one side, for a softer, asymmetric frame.

  • Butterfly cut

    Short framing layers on top of long layers, styled with volume for a bouncy shape.

  • Shag with framing pieces

    Choppy layers all over with shorter pieces around the face; lots of texture.

  • Chin-length framing on a lob

    A shoulder-length cut with pieces at the chin to add width at the jaw.

  • Curly framing pieces

    Curls cut shorter around the face so they sit open instead of heavy.

  • 90s layered cut

    Bouncy, blown-out layers with chunky framing pieces at the front.

Where the framing should start

  • Round face

    Start below the chin so the lines run down and lengthen the face.

  • Long or oblong face

    Start at the cheekbones to add width across the middle.

  • Square face

    Soft, wispy pieces around the jaw take the edge off the corners.

  • Heart face

    Start at the chin or below to add fullness under the cheekbones.

Things to watch

  • •Framing that starts above the lip on a round face, which adds width at the cheeks
  • •A heavy, blunt front if you have a strong cowlick
  • •Too many layers on very fine hair, which can make the ends look thin
