2. Customizing for Your Face Shape & Hair Texture
Welcome to Part 2 of my salon guide on Spring Hair Trends: Soft Bardot Curtain Bangs & Long Layers.
Every head of hair has its own density, cowlicks, and wave pattern—here is how I adjust the proportions behind the chair.

Matching Layers & Tones to Your Features
The Bardot bangs are a versatile style that can work for different face shapes and hair textures.
If you have a round face, you can ask your stylist to cut the bangs slightly longer to create a more angular look.
On the other hand, if you have a square face, you can opt for a shorter, more subtle look.
When it comes to hair texture, the Bardot bangs can work for fine or thick hair.
The key is to find a stylist who understands how to work with your hair type.
For fine hair, it’s essential to use a gentle shampoo and conditioner to prevent breakage.
For thicker hair, a good hair mask can help to nourish and moisturize the hair.
✂️ Face-Shape & Density Quick Match
- Fine-to-Medium Strands: Keep perimeter weight blunt and add micro-ribbons around the face for visual fullness.
- Thick or Wavy Hair: Use internal slide-cutting to release weight so waves stack without triangle bulk.
- Warm vs. Cool Skin Undertones: Pair golden-olive skin with honey, caramel, or espresso glosses; pair cool undertones with champagne, ash, or mocha ribbons.
