Thank you so much for checking out my video! I hope it helps you figure out which bangs could work best for your face shape. I’d love to hear your feedback! Any questions?
Doesn't he address that when talking about the diamond? Not wanting to close the smaller parts of the face in more? So if you have small forehead...low hairline that would be same principle no?
So I have a morphing face shape. With age my oval face has drooped and my jowls have turned it into a strange rectangle. Sigh… Love your videos! No one talks else talks about all aspects of hair like you do.
I did look at my face and trimmed my bangs. I used to be a hairdresser do not a complete newbie. I am growing out my gray and realize it’s gonna be a long time. I was also growing out my bangs. I was just trying it. However I do have a long face so I left the sides and trimmed the middle. Thanks for the tutorial. I look like myself again.
Lovely series! Stylists have tried to give me bangs a LOT. I cannot understand how anyone can stand having hair constantly in their eyes, though. Came here to find out whether there's a bang that's short enough to not irritate the eyes (or have to constantly be pushed out) and still looks good.
Thank you, Justin. I am loving all your videos, including this one. You’re such a great communicator! I’m sure that a lot of hair professionals care about their clients but you are really unique in your ability to express it. 👍🏼
So great! Im 37 and this is so much info i didn’t know! Loving your page. I just walked in my stylist in June and said do whatever you have full control to cut and it’s the first time i like my hair. She cut a textured Bob with side bangs. I have curly hair but can go straight it’s very versatile. (Learned allot from flat iron video!) i believe i have either and oval face or a mix between Round and rectangle so the bob seems to really flatter me and i feel great for the first time!
As I've aged I have went from an oval.gacr shape to a more rectangular face shape. I have a cowlick in my.bangs and back when I had bangs I struggled with styling. So I haven't had bangs in over 30 yrs. But as I've aged I would love to hide my forehead. So I would love to see a video on how to style bangs each day. For example on no hair wash days!
Thanks for your authentic ways of expressing yourself and the "real" way you speak to your audience. VERY refreshing. Oh, by the way, love your outdoor vids. Thanks!!🦜🌈😎💜🦋🐞🌱
Justin, you TOTALLY hit on so many areas I didn't consider! I look back at pictures when I had bangs. LOVE that look. But now? I've played around a couple of times, and they DO drive me crazy! So I keep them long, can trim up to cheeks if needed and grow right back out. This was tremendously helpful. Most informative bang suggestions and questions. Thank you so much!!
After watching a number of your videos, I'm convinced you're the absolute best of the best. So wish I could find someone with your knowledge here in SW OH; have tried but no luck thus far. Instead, as a former stylist, taught my daughters to color it and trim the bottom of the back... and they do an excellent job; the layers I do myself and have picked up some amazing, updated techniques from your videos that are excellent. Thank you for the videos and your presentation style. Gorgeous home!!! PS. Am cursed with a very rectangular face but blessed with super lush hair that will do anything. Have to laugh, that's the universe keeping me humble... the here comes aging and all the challenges that go with it. Wah!
I would love for you to do something for menopausal women who NOW have double chins.... UGH!! How can we camouflage that! Also Do videos on thinning hair for Menopausal women. Thank you!
I just came across your channel and subscribed right away! Thanks for describing all the different types of bangs and face shapes. Now I know what to ask my hair stylist for! A little "fringe" on the sides to soften my kinda square-ish face! Can't wait to sit and binge watch more of your great tutorials! Thank you!
Awesome! Welcome to the family. Thank you so much for the support. I’m really glad I could help. Can’t wait to hear your feedback on my other videos. If there’s ever anything you want me to create a video on, make sure you let me know. I’ll see what I can do.
Justin, I'm a new subscriber, thank you so much for your videos, I have bangs, with most of the hair being the result of hair transplant procedures for a quite receding hairline, more on one side than the other. It's so important I think, for hairdressers to realize that head shape and hairlines also factor into how the hair will fall, or that the hair on one side of the head may not be as thick as on the other side of the head. Not everyone has a perfectly symmetrical face, one ear could be higher than the other, or one eyebrow higher than the other, many factors can play into what will work and look good. Wish you were close by, I'd have you cut my hair for sure, I'm from Ontario Canada. Kindest regards to you and thank you again!
Excellent video! You have so much knowledge! I have an oval face shape and have many choices so I try them all. I like that you said to keep the symmetry and also tweak it to emphasize where you want emphasis. I like that you said it's not the bible of bangs and that you can play with what works for you. Excellent advise!
Came across your video on long hair cuts to look younger, and had to see this one on bangs. Gee! Now I'm hooked. So, another subscriber. Love from 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Indeed. For the most part of my life I had to change my hairdressers after 2-3 haircuts. I am still flabbergasted because they go to school to learn their trade!
Thank you!!! So helpful! I was actually talked out of bangs by my stylist. 🤔 My hair is really long and thick and she went on and on about "what if I don't like it and have to wait to grow it back out?". I'm more motivated now though, and might need to find someone else!!
I totally hear what you’re saying. At the end of the day as a stylist I think it’s our job to present the concerns to a client but ultimately it’s your right to be able to determine what you want to take a risk on. I say if you want bangs and you know the possible concerns then go form do it you may love them. Worst case scenario the grow.
Thanks Justin! Can you show us what to do with bangs that are growing out and how often should they be trimmed to keep them healthy??? As you may have guessed, I am trying to grow out my bangs.
I was not expecting that ..I thought this was an ad for a rams commercial or some selling technique about cars..idk.. but really glad I watched . He knows his stuff. Great video. Good looking too . Nice white hair.
It was a great video Sir.. 👏🏻👏🏻 I have seen nobody giving this much concern to "WHY aspect" which was the greatest highlight of your video..!!!! Thanks a lot for this video Sir.. 😊😊
Have just found your channel Justin and your advice is excellent, easy to follow and understand. I’m in UK and can’t visit my hairdresser due to lockdown. Not a huge problem as my hair is long and I only have a trim twice a year. However, I do have a fringe which I take care of myself and your tips have really helped. I’ve subscribed and also shared with my friends who are in a similar situation at the moment. Thank you 🙏
Very useful information. The examples, with emphasis by using red lines, were fantastic. Solidified what I already thought and gave me the necessary info to make wise bang decisions. Well done!
Thanks for the insight! I actually have an oval shaped face, TONS of fine hair, a very small forehead and strong widow's peak. I have never been able to figure out how to wear my bangs (or sometimes I feel my hair in general!).
hair cut with/without bang suggestion for a looong oval face with fine naturally wavy hair and calics on both sides of forehead and a section over right eye that likes to fall down my face
Hey! That’s a great question and that's a tough question without seeing you and your hair. I'm actually doing one on one video consultations right now to help answer those questions and more for people. Here's a link you can use if you'd like to schedule one. bit.ly/HairChat
Thanks for the feedback Lindy! I would agree with you there. Unfortunately, it’s surprisingly hard to find photos I’m allowed to use without spending hundreds of dollars per video. I actually spend 4-5 hours on average looking for photos for a video like this that illustrate my points. Finding photos of before and after like that.....not even sure I would be able to without finding models that would allow me to just cut bangs on them....which is a whole new challenge. :) I do appreciate your feedback though!
Would it be possible to use TH-cam video clips or IG photos to show different examples for free? Idk. Lol. I've never made a TH-cam video before! 🤣❤ please keep making these videos for us!
Great Video!! Confirmed that I’ve been wearing the correct style bangs. I had brain surgery and the surgeons shaved my head - luckily in the bang area. However - they shaved more hair than `I already had in bangs. So now my bangs a a bit too thick. A pain but I think I looked better with wispy bangs so need to grow out. I had wispy right below eyebrow and round to blend into my side layers.
This was so great, Justin. Video #3 is next. How interesting on the part about for length having the nose as the focal point. I’ve always wondered if my bangs should be above my brows or over my brows, like I see so often. Bless you for sharing your knowledge with us all. Thank you! Linda
Hi Justin, can you please enable the CC on this video so I can know what you are saying. I just found you and started following you bc you are answering alot of my questions about hair. Thank you for educating us.
Absolutely! I need to figure out how to go through and do that. I’ve tried it before but I need to have transcripts created since the TH-cam version takes forever to check accuracy on. I’m definitely looking into doing that On all future videos.
I have sort of a diamond shape except elongated more like an oval, so from your tips it seems like I’ve been getting my bangs cut correctly for my face, thankfully lol, since I’ve had them basically my whole life, with slight changes through the years in how I’ve styled them. 👍🏼
same mix shape i had bangs until i hit 21. I felt they looked child-ish. Now I've been thinking 🤔 that might be a GOOD thing at my current age/stage. @Justin Hickox nailed it with the lifestyle consideration! He showed exactly the pose I primarily worked in for over 11 years in healthcare. Bangs would not have worked well at all during that time. My hair texture also changed pretty dramatically in a 3 year period as i hit early 3-0. So I'm unsure of that factor now as well as some stray non-pigmented on one side at the corner...makes me feel like Pepe the skunk with a stripe begining to form!
I am new and I do really appreciate your vibe and your tips.. and I subcribed. There are spiritual things we need to focus on in these challenging times, but why not still care about our bodies AND our hair. I love EASY styles with little to no hair products needed.. So a cut is THE thing I have to focus on. THANK YOU.
Oh, how I could benefit from your many years of experience and obvious expertise. My hair has grown butt-length and I've grown tired of dealing with the effort of washing, conditioning and working out tangles without tearing out huge chunks of fine hair. Unfortunately (and wouldn't you know it), you're located on the opposite end of the country. Know anyone near the Tampa/St. Pete area who's an artist I could trust to advise and give me on the best cut for an aging face?
Hi :). I just wanted to tell you that I learned something I had never heard before during this video. You mention your nose being the center of your face/maintaining symmetry .... it helped me to understand why I feel better with shorter bangs and some volume at the top of my head ... those two things do put my nose smack dab in the center which is why I feel better that way I guess ... it just looks “right” to my eye. Huh. Thank you so much 😊!
I have kind of wavy hair but not so wavy,and unfortunately I have a rectangular face shape ,long forehead,big nose .I saw many videos abt bangs that suits my face shape but everytime they say something different.so I'd love to know which bangs will suit me the best.i really feel insecure because of my face shape . Hope you answer me quickly🥺❤ And tysm
I would leave the bangs about eyes grow level, don’t square them off on the sides too much, not super strong/thick, and layer the front of your hair to add some softness.
@@justinhickox does that mean should I do blunt bangs with layers in the front of my hair or curtain bangs?? Because honestly my near hairdresser isn't pro so when I want to cut bangs she should see either a picture or she should know the name of the bang.And does the long side swept bangs doesn't look good on this face shape ?
Hello Justin, for older women with an oval face, and long forehead with long hair. What’s your thought of getting some form of a bang to cover those forehead lines plus make the face appear more symmetrical?
How cute, you! Your Northwest accent is all over this video. This may be the most-informative haircut video in the history bangs/fringe. I’m an oval-> oblong depending upon the same ten pounds that I’ve gained and lost a hundred times. I wear them longish, “curtain” style because they’re easier to pin back when I cannot stand them. A little tip of mine: remind your stylist if you have curly hair. Cutting bangs wet will not give you an accurate vision of what they’re going to be dry. (My stylist always cuts my bangs dry.) Justin, I’m in New Haven and I’m thinking of coming out to Portland to have you cut my hair. I told a few friends and their response was pretty-much the same: “if I was asked which one of my friends would travel across the continent to get her hair cut, it would be Libby Hussein.” So, maybe see you soon!
Hahaha!!! I LOVE it!!!! I’d love to have ya in!!! And thanks for sharing that tip! VERY true!! Wet bangs (especially curly hair) are AMAZING at shrinking up to about half their length when they dry! Lol! My next video about bangs will actually include tips on how to cut them at home and that will ABSOLUTELY be a KEY point I make! :)
Okay, I now understand why my hairdresser didn't cut my fringe at the side of my forehead, where I thought it should end. My face is a cross between oval and heart shape - it ticks the boxes for heart, but it looks oval to me. But the smaller fringe doesn't work when I tie my hair up. I'm going to ask her to shape my fringe longer at the sides, so it looks good when it's up, but it's not going straight across my forehead. I have a fringe now because my forehead looks long. A long fringe suits me best, but I have it cut at my brows because of wearing glasses. Basically, we can't always have what we want!
Very interesting but I think the kind of nose and eyes are equally to be considered for bangs, e.g. a big narrow nose vs a big wide nose or eyes dropping at the sides or small and far apart ones .. just examples .. Thanks!
That's an informative video!! Please plan a trip to India. I can host you and your family in our house but promise me haircut 😀 I watched couple of videos of yours and found them to be very informative. I stumbled on your video while trying to figure out how to cut my bangs without going to the saloon. My hairstylist instructed me not to try it on my own at home as it will ruin but after looking at the increase in number of positive cases, I'm kinda sure that it's going to take another couple of months for situations to become normal again. . . So instead of waiting thought I'll explore it myself and made up my mind that even if I make a mess, my hair will grow in couple of months and I can fix it with the help of the stylist.
That’s awesome! If we ever come to India, which I would love to, I’ll make sure to let everyone know. I’m also doing an entire webinar on Homemade haircuts and hair color. As well as an online course all about how to cut and color your hair at home. Have you had a chance to register for that webinar yet
Very informative Justin! I also watched the first video about face shapes and thought that was helpful too. I like your delivery too. Looking forward to learning more on your channel.
Thank you so much Nancy! I really appreciate that! I’m so happy to hear you’re finding value in my videos! Is there anything about your hair you’re curious about? I’m always looking for new video topics!
So many-questions to ask your hairdresser to get the most flattering outcome in the salon, what products are worth splurging on and what is hype, best advice for growing hair from a bad haircut, how often to get ends trimmed to keep her in best condition, flattering styles for the mature woman...
Fabulous! I have had bangs cut in to make me look younger. Wispy ones. Point cut. What length would you suggest? Side bangs fall in my face. Ugh. Left side part. Thank you for all those options! 👍🏼
Thank you for your amazing explanations . You are a blessing with your helpful professional description of different face shapes really helped. I have a diamond-shaped face with a little bit of a double chin. I had bangs in the past styled to the side. I am in my 50 's now and am looking for a classy, more sophisticated look to my long brown-auburn hair. I am considering some layers and have parted my hair to the side. Are Bangs really for the classy, more sophisticated look?
Eek I’m an oval face grey hair and 58 I think grey hair is a whole other kettle of fish.....any hints will do..thanks great information and yes will subscribe...
I am a senior with very fine short hair, semi wavy. I have a very high forehead All the models shown had long hair. Can you show examples of short cuts with bangs?
Ahh, the control point makes sense. Checked mine out! W/ an oval face but features getting a little sharper w/ maturity.....Looking up bangs that take focus off the nose. ;) Which is probably straight or side. Not down the middle? Thanks, great information. Very clearly presented.
what do you think of no bangs at all? I have a square face. i have never cared for hair touching my skin. I am 69 years old. I have worn whispy bangs but tend to comb it all back. my hair is very thick.
Hey! Great question. I think no bangs is totally fine. I would say though, if your hair is super thick, having layers in the front is a great way of breaking up the shape relieving extra bulk from the sides. So not bangs but layers could be a great option for ya.
Hi, I really appreciate your professional opinion, and I certainly need someone who knows what they are doing! I'm in my 70's, have an oval face, but I have a lot of "storylines" on my face, my 11's are showing on my forehead and I have lost volume in my face. How could I send you a photo, to get your advice on a low maintenance hair style? Thank you for your time.
Hi Justine thank you for the videos- I have questions about face shape and then best bangs? 1-I think my face shape was heart shape but because im 53, I've started developing a small jowl so does that change my face shape? 2. I have a colic in front and have no choice but my hair always parts on the right side. So with a heart/ mixed shape face with a right-sided colic which bang/hair style with low maintanance would be good for me? (I have wavy but not thick or thin hair) Thank you for your time 😊
Thank you for this video ! I've had bangs since I was a little girl, I guess I've just gotten use to always having bangs ! I have gray hair so I wasn't sure if I should still have bangs or let them grow out ! Iam not to sure what my face shape is ? But I like my bangs 😌 Be well 💐
Thank you Lorraine! Glad I could help. I say...if you like them, keep them! The most important thing is to do what makes you feel confident. The best cut is the one that makes you feel amazing.....period. :)
I have unfinished bang because I got scared after cutting my hair. And I stumbled on your channel hmmmmm...... and my face is one of those mixed shape....
I have a heart shaped face with a long nose..how can I balance this with a fringe.......loved this video it is really informative and helpful..I have subscribed .
Thank you. I’m so glad you liked it and I appreciate the support. Just keep the bangs and the rest of the front of your hair softer vs super hard lines. Layers are great to soften features. :) hope that helped a little.
Here's a question for you: I want bangs, have a long face, but I'm a nurse and always wearing a mask plus a plastic faceshield. My freinds tell me not to do it because they won't be functional with all the PPE I have to wear. I wanted to do fringe curtain bangs. Thoughts??
Great question....first off, thank you for what you do. I appreciate you. As for the bangs, they definitely could be less convenient with the gear you have to wear but you could also clip them back with pins during work if you need to and have them down when you want to. It’s tough to say how bothered you’ll be by them. Personally I’d probably go for them if you really want to try them. You may love them....or pin them. ;)
I am enjoying your videos. This one did not have captions. I replayed the 2:46 mark several times but couldn't understand the word after, "So, if for instance, you are trying to say, cover up your (word?)....". Also, for me, after becoming a senior, I have gone back to bangs to add additional sun protection for my forehead and temples as I am very fair-skinned. Plus, I think they are more youthful looking. I loved your video on how to cut bangs as I had never really known how and have been wondering for several years. Thank you so much! Now, between stylist appointments if I need to make a snip, I can study your video again or play it as I trim until I get myself trained to do it correctly. I have an oval shaped face but it seems to me to be elongating somewhat with the years. Does that happen or is it my imagination? Thank you again for teaching me how to cut them!!
Thank you! I’m so glad I could help! The word I said was forehead. “If you’re trying to cover up your forehead”. And yes, faces definitely change over time. There are lots of factors that will play into that. Thanks for your support and stay safe.
Hi Justin, Your videos are great! I have a long, narrow face, and my head is small. I know I need bangs and a mid to shorter hair length. I don't know what type of bangs I should have and what type of layering. I'm almost 60 and have naturally blonde hair that is fairly fine. Any tips for me? Thanks so much. Sincerely, Lori
I love the puppy dogs; specially Kevin. I’ve learned (the hard way) that straight bangs don’t work for my square face. But I don’t to give up on bangs because I’d hope they would make my small eyes look more prominent. Am I wrong? Should I avoid all together as I have the past 30 years?
Very good video, thank you! I also learned much from your face shape video. I thinking I have an oval face & I do wear bangs. I have my stylist cut them "piecey" so they aren't just straight across & not so heavy.
That’s fantastic! Thanks for your support and it makes me so happy to hear you’re finding some value in my videos!!! I’m uploading my 3rd video in my 3 part bang series today. I think you may like it....watch for it, should be up in about an hour! ;)
Hi Justin. Love your videos. I am 58 post menopause & my hair has really thinned out at the front. I was wondering would a fringe be best to hide this? The front of my hair is so hard to grow anyway!!
Its soo good that you have done it in a better way. But how can we maintain bangs in wavy hairs. Because all the bangs were shown only on straighten hairs. So here my question is.. can we do bangs to wavy hairs as well? And how to maintain it .. i hope i will get an answer from you.? Namastae
Thank you so much for checking out my video! I hope it helps you figure out which bangs could work best for your face shape. I’d love to hear your feedback! Any questions?
I like this video so much! Great job!
Justin Hickox I truly need you! Just once in my life, I’ve trusted a stylist before I’ve met them. You’re amazing 💞

Yes! I've wished someone would discuss this! Never seen that discussed.
Yes Lol

Yep we need to know 🤣👍
Best explanation of why I have wanted my bangs cut the way they look better to flatter my face but a side bonus is covering forehead wrinkles 😊

There are really no videos for thinning hair women from hormones of any age from hairdressers.. Why? Coz they don't get taught it!
Yes mature women hairstyles and solutions are usually overlooked because we are not in the popular viewers category

Have just found your channel Justin and your advice is excellent, easy to follow and understand. I’m in UK and can’t visit my hairdresser due to lockdown. Not a huge problem as my hair is long and I only have a trim twice a year. However, I do have a fringe which I take care of myself and your tips have really helped. I’ve subscribed and also shared with my friends who are in a similar situation at the moment.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate that feedback and your support!!! Means a ton! Stay well!
This is excellent video. Would love to hear your thoughts on bangs and thick versus thin hair if it matters. Thank you.
Very useful information. The examples, with emphasis by using red lines, were fantastic. Solidified what I already thought and gave me the necessary info to make wise bang decisions. Well done!
Awesome! I’m so glad you liked it. Thank you for the feedback.
I really admire you. I would love to have my hair done with you. Where is your hair salon?
Thanks for the insight! I actually have an oval shaped face, TONS of fine hair, a very small forehead and strong widow's peak. I have never been able to figure out how to wear my bangs (or sometimes I feel my hair in general!).
hair cut with/without bang suggestion for a looong oval face with fine naturally wavy hair and calics on both sides of forehead and a section over right eye that likes to fall down my face
Hey! That’s a great question and that's a tough question without seeing you and your hair. I'm actually doing one on one video consultations right now to help answer those questions and more for people. Here's a link you can use if you'd like to schedule one. bit.ly/HairChat
Really useful and the explanations really help too. Thank-you!
Thank you so much Michelle! I appreciate the feedback.
I wish you would have given picture examples of the facial shapes and examples before and after.
Thanks for the feedback Lindy! I would agree with you there. Unfortunately, it’s surprisingly hard to find photos I’m allowed to use without spending hundreds of dollars per video. I actually spend 4-5 hours on average looking for photos for a video like this that illustrate my points. Finding photos of before and after like that.....not even sure I would be able to without finding models that would allow me to just cut bangs on them....which is a whole new challenge. :) I do appreciate your feedback though!
Would it be possible to use TH-cam video clips or IG photos to show different examples for free? Idk. Lol. I've never made a TH-cam video before! 🤣❤ please keep making these videos for us!
@@justinhickox I could do some illustrations. They should be fairly easy to do.
Great Video!! Confirmed that I’ve been wearing the correct style bangs. I had brain surgery and the surgeons shaved my head - luckily in the bang area. However - they shaved more hair than `I already had in bangs. So now my bangs a a bit too thick. A pain but I think I looked better with wispy bangs so need to grow out. I had wispy right below eyebrow and round to blend into my side layers.
You have so much knowledge, thanks for sharing❤️
You’re so welcome! I’m glad I can help.
This was so great, Justin. Video #3 is next. How interesting on the part about for length having the nose as the focal point. I’ve always wondered if my bangs should be above my brows or over my brows, like I see so often. Bless you for sharing your knowledge with us all. Thank you! Linda
Thank you! I’m so glad I could help you there. I appreciate your feedback
No questions! Glad I found your channel! You rock!💕
Thank you so much Doris!!! YOU rock!!!
Hi Justin, can you please enable the CC on this video so I can know what you are saying. I just found you and started following you bc you are answering alot of my questions about hair. Thank you for educating us.
Absolutely! I need to figure out how to go through and do that. I’ve tried it before but I need to have transcripts created since the TH-cam version takes forever to check accuracy on. I’m definitely looking into doing that On all future videos.
I have sort of a diamond shape except elongated more like an oval, so from your tips it seems like I’ve been getting my bangs cut correctly for my face, thankfully lol, since I’ve had them basically my whole life, with slight changes through the years in how I’ve styled them. 👍🏼
same mix shape
i had bangs until i hit 21. I felt they looked child-ish. Now I've been thinking 🤔 that might be a GOOD thing at my current age/stage. @Justin Hickox nailed it with the lifestyle consideration! He showed exactly the pose I primarily worked in for over 11 years in healthcare. Bangs would not have worked well at all during that time. My hair texture also changed pretty dramatically in a 3 year period as i hit early 3-0. So I'm unsure of that factor now as well as some stray non-pigmented on one side at the corner...makes me feel like Pepe the skunk with a stripe begining to form!
I have receding hair line so curtain bangs are a must! Plus they hide thinning eyebrows!
please make a video with diff. bangs... i am going for a micro... would love to see some great examples of this. love this channel :) thank you :)
Thank you so much! I’ll definitely consider making a video about in the future. I appreciate the feedback and suggestions.
Loved this! I have a heart shaped face and curly hair 3C hair and haven’t ever found bangs that work for me.
Another great overview - thank you! My issue with bangs (which I prefer btw .. curtain style) is I cannot abide hair in my eyes.
Great advice on where to start bangs, etc. Thank you 😊
Yay! I am going to emphasize my eyes and return to having bangs full time. I have an oval face, so it will be easy. This was helpful.
I am new and I do really appreciate your vibe and your tips.. and I subcribed. There are spiritual things we need to focus on in these challenging times, but why not still care about our bodies AND our hair. I love EASY styles with little to no hair products needed.. So a cut is THE thing I have to focus on. THANK YOU.
Oh, how I could benefit from your many years of experience and obvious expertise. My hair has grown butt-length and I've grown tired of dealing with the effort of washing, conditioning and working out tangles without tearing out huge chunks of fine hair. Unfortunately (and wouldn't you know it), you're located on the opposite end of the country. Know anyone near the Tampa/St. Pete area who's an artist I could trust to advise and give me on the best cut for an aging face?
Once again Justin you killed it 💪👊💯love this
Thanks again!!! I love your support!
Hi :). I just wanted to tell you that I learned something I had never heard before during this video. You mention your nose being the center of your face/maintaining symmetry .... it helped me to understand why I feel better with shorter bangs and some volume at the top of my head ... those two things do put my nose smack dab in the center which is why I feel better that way I guess ... it just looks “right” to my eye. Huh. Thank you so much 😊!
I have kind of wavy hair but not so wavy,and unfortunately I have a rectangular face shape ,long forehead,big nose .I saw many videos abt bangs that suits my face shape but everytime they say something different.so I'd love to know which bangs will suit me the best.i really feel insecure because of my face shape .
Hope you answer me quickly🥺❤
And tysm
I would leave the bangs about eyes grow level, don’t square them off on the sides too much, not super strong/thick, and layer the front of your hair to add some softness.
@@justinhickox does that mean should I do blunt bangs with layers in the front of my hair or curtain bangs?? Because honestly my near hairdresser isn't pro so when I want to cut bangs she should see either a picture or she should know the name of the bang.And does the long side swept bangs doesn't look good on this face shape ?
Hello Justin, for older women with an oval face, and long forehead with long hair. What’s your thought of getting some form of a bang to cover those forehead lines plus make the face appear more symmetrical?
Could you make a video about cutting or styling curly hair.
How cute, you! Your Northwest accent is all over this video.
This may be the most-informative haircut video in the history bangs/fringe.
I’m an oval-> oblong depending upon the same ten pounds that I’ve gained and lost a hundred times.
I wear them longish, “curtain” style because they’re easier to pin back when I cannot stand them.
A little tip of mine: remind your stylist if you have curly hair. Cutting bangs wet will not give you an accurate vision of what they’re going to be dry. (My stylist always cuts my bangs dry.)
Justin, I’m in New Haven and I’m thinking of coming out to Portland to have you cut my hair.
I told a few friends and their response was pretty-much the same: “if I was asked which one of my friends would travel across the continent to get her hair cut, it would be Libby Hussein.”
So, maybe see you soon!
Hahaha!!! I LOVE it!!!! I’d love to have ya in!!! And thanks for sharing that tip! VERY true!! Wet bangs (especially curly hair) are AMAZING at shrinking up to about half their length when they dry! Lol! My next video about bangs will actually include tips on how to cut them at home and that will ABSOLUTELY be a KEY point I make! :)
Okay, I now understand why my hairdresser didn't cut my fringe at the side of my forehead, where I thought it should end.
My face is a cross between oval and heart shape - it ticks the boxes for heart, but it looks oval to me. But the smaller fringe doesn't work when I tie my hair up.
I'm going to ask her to shape my fringe longer at the sides, so it looks good when it's up, but it's not going straight across my forehead.
I have a fringe now because my forehead looks long. A long fringe suits me best, but I have it cut at my brows because of wearing glasses. Basically, we can't always have what we want!
Very interesting but I think the kind of nose and eyes are equally to be considered for bangs, e.g. a big narrow nose vs a big wide nose or eyes dropping at the sides or small and far apart ones .. just examples .. Thanks!
That's an informative video!! Please plan a trip to India. I can host you and your family in our house but promise me haircut 😀 I watched couple of videos of yours and found them to be very informative. I stumbled on your video while trying to figure out how to cut my bangs without going to the saloon. My hairstylist instructed me not to try it on my own at home as it will ruin but after looking at the increase in number of positive cases, I'm kinda sure that it's going to take another couple of months for situations to become normal again. . . So instead of waiting thought I'll explore it myself and made up my mind that even if I make a mess, my hair will grow in couple of months and I can fix it with the help of the stylist.
That’s awesome! If we ever come to India, which I would love to, I’ll make sure to let everyone know. I’m also doing an entire webinar on Homemade haircuts and hair color. As well as an online course all about how to cut and color your hair at home. Have you had a chance to register for that webinar yet
@@justinhickox, that's a great news! Thanks for sharing and I'll check it out.
Very informative Justin! I also watched the first video about face shapes and thought that was helpful too. I like your delivery too. Looking forward to learning more on your channel.
Thank you so much Nancy! I really appreciate that! I’m so happy to hear you’re finding value in my videos! Is there anything about your hair you’re curious about? I’m always looking for new video topics!
So many-questions to ask your hairdresser to get the most flattering outcome in the salon, what products are worth splurging on and what is hype, best advice for growing hair from a bad haircut, how often to get ends trimmed to keep her in best condition, flattering styles for the mature woman...
I love these ideas! Thank you!!!!
Fabulous! I have had bangs cut in to make me look younger. Wispy ones. Point cut. What length would you suggest? Side bangs fall in my face. Ugh. Left side part. Thank you for all those options! 👍🏼
Thank you for your amazing explanations . You are a blessing with your helpful professional description of different face shapes really helped. I have a diamond-shaped face with a little bit of a double chin. I had bangs in the past styled to the side. I am in my 50 's now and am looking for a classy, more sophisticated look to my long brown-auburn hair. I am considering some layers and have parted my hair to the side. Are Bangs really for the classy, more sophisticated look?
Great info. Ideas for bangs or layers with a widows peak??
How can i make my bangs seem thicker or fuller. My hair has thinned out in the front where the bangs would be
This is a great question. I’m going to film some videos about some options that may work for you. Keep an eye out!
Eek I’m an oval face grey hair and 58 I think grey hair is a whole other kettle of fish.....any hints will do..thanks great information and yes will subscribe...
Thank you! Welcome to the fam! I’m happy to give tips. Anything in particular you’re curious about?
This guy's hair knowledge is on fire
Lol! Trust me, it’s about the ONLY thing I know! Lmao! Thank you!
I am a senior with very fine short hair, semi wavy. I have a very high forehead All the models shown had long hair. Can you show examples of short cuts with bangs?
Hey Laura, great question. I’ll definitely work on that in a future video. Thanks for the feedback and idea!
much appreciate your advice. I love hair and this was very helpful thankyou from Queensland x
Thank you so much! I’m glad I could help.
Ahh, the control point makes sense. Checked mine out! W/ an oval face but features getting a little sharper w/ maturity.....Looking up bangs that take focus off the nose. ;) Which is probably straight or side. Not down the middle? Thanks, great information. Very clearly presented.
You’re so welcome! Really glad you found some value in it! Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you so much........
N one request tht will u please make videos on BOB Haircut for different face shapes ..
Thank you Aruna! I appreciate your feedback and that’s definitely an idea that I can work into a future video!!!
Time to get rid of my straight across bangs!
Yes, that was really very helpful... I have a rather large head, I wonder is there a better length, style, for people with larger heads🤔🙄
Thank you! That’s a great question. It really has more to do with the shape and hair texture etc.
what do you think of no bangs at all? I have a square face. i have never cared for hair touching my skin. I am 69 years old. I have worn whispy bangs but tend to comb it all back. my hair is very thick.
Hey! Great question. I think no bangs is totally fine. I would say though, if your hair is super thick, having layers in the front is a great way of breaking up the shape relieving extra bulk from the sides. So not bangs but layers could be a great option for ya.
Hi, I really appreciate your professional opinion, and I certainly need someone who knows what they are doing!
I'm in my 70's, have an oval face, but I have a lot of "storylines" on my face, my 11's are showing on my forehead and I have lost volume in my face. How could I send you a photo, to get your advice on a low maintenance hair style? Thank you for your time.
Awesome job Justin!... I live in Rhode Island, I am so thinking of flying to you for a cut and color!!!!!
I would love that!
Thank you for your advice and experience regarding facial structure and bangs!! 😘
You are so welcome!
Hi Justine thank you for the videos-
I have questions about face shape and then best bangs?
1-I think my face shape was heart shape but because im 53, I've started developing a small jowl so does that change my face shape?
2. I have a colic in front and have no choice but my hair always parts on the right side.
So with a heart/ mixed shape face with a right-sided colic which bang/hair style with low maintanance would be good for me?
(I have wavy but not thick or thin hair)
Thank you for your time 😊
THANK YOU!!! So glad I found your channel you are so easy to watch and knowledgeable. Great video editing too
Ah clearer now! Thank you so much! Love your style of presenting too!
Good! Glad to hear it.
Awesome. Now just waiting for that next video that you cut bangs for each of these face shapes. I think l see that one next.
Thank you for this video ! I've had bangs since I was a little girl, I guess I've just gotten use to always having bangs ! I have gray hair so I wasn't sure if I should still have bangs or let them grow out ! Iam not to sure what my face shape is ? But I like my bangs 😌 Be well 💐
Thank you Lorraine! Glad I could help. I say...if you like them, keep them! The most important thing is to do what makes you feel confident. The best cut is the one that makes you feel amazing.....period. :)
I have unfinished bang because I got scared after cutting my hair.
And I stumbled on your channel hmmmmm...... and my face is one of those mixed shape....
I feel like that's true for most people.
I have a heart shaped face with a long nose..how can I balance this with a fringe.......loved this video it is really informative and helpful..I have subscribed .
Thank you. I’m so glad you liked it and I appreciate the support. Just keep the bangs and the rest of the front of your hair softer vs super hard lines. Layers are great to soften features. :) hope that helped a little.
Justin Hickox square head with huge forehead & nose 👃
Here's a question for you: I want bangs, have a long face, but I'm a nurse and always wearing a mask plus a plastic faceshield. My freinds tell me not to do it because they won't be functional with all the PPE I have to wear. I wanted to do fringe curtain bangs. Thoughts??
Great question....first off, thank you for what you do. I appreciate you. As for the bangs, they definitely could be less convenient with the gear you have to wear but you could also clip them back with pins during work if you need to and have them down when you want to. It’s tough to say how bothered you’ll be by them. Personally I’d probably go for them if you really want to try them. You may love them....or pin them. ;)
@@justinhickox thanks, hoping the extra PPE gear will go away someday.
I am enjoying your videos. This one did not have captions. I replayed the 2:46 mark several times but couldn't understand the word after, "So, if for instance, you are trying to say, cover up your (word?)....".
Also, for me, after becoming a senior, I have gone back to bangs to add additional sun protection for my forehead and temples as I am very fair-skinned. Plus, I think they are more youthful looking. I loved your video on how to cut bangs as I had never really known how and have been wondering for several years. Thank you so much! Now, between stylist appointments if I need to make a snip, I can study your video again or play it as I trim until I get myself trained to do it correctly. I have an oval shaped face but it seems to me to be elongating somewhat with the years. Does that happen or is it my imagination? Thank you again for teaching me how to cut them!!
Thank you! I’m so glad I could help! The word I said was forehead. “If you’re trying to cover up your forehead”. And yes, faces definitely change over time. There are lots of factors that will play into that. Thanks for your support and stay safe.
Thank you for great vid. Would be great time codes though :), I had to search back and forth for my face shape ....
That’s a great suggestion. As soon as I have a moment I’ll definitely work on that. Thank you.
Hi Justin, Your videos are great! I have a long, narrow face, and my head is small. I know I need bangs and a mid to shorter hair length. I don't know what type of bangs I should have and what type of layering. I'm almost 60 and have naturally blonde hair that is fairly fine. Any tips for me? Thanks so much. Sincerely, Lori
I love the puppy dogs; specially Kevin. I’ve learned (the hard way) that straight bangs don’t work for my square face. But I don’t to give up on bangs because I’d hope they would make my small eyes look more prominent. Am I wrong? Should I avoid all together as I have the past 30 years?
Justin, what hairstyle do you reccomend for longer face shape but without bangs?
Any length where you have a little extra volume on the sides or or layers that frame the chin will help to add width. :)
Very good video, thank you! I also learned much from your face shape video. I thinking I have an oval face & I do wear bangs. I have my stylist cut them "piecey" so they aren't just straight across & not so heavy.
That’s fantastic! Thanks for your support and it makes me so happy to hear you’re finding some value in my videos!!! I’m uploading my 3rd video in my 3 part bang series today. I think you may like it....watch for it, should be up in about an hour! ;)
Hi Justin. Love your videos. I am 58 post menopause & my hair has really thinned out at the front. I was wondering would a fringe be best to hide this? The front of my hair is so hard to grow anyway!!
Hi Justin, how do I know what type of face shape I have? Do you have a video on that?
Great videos! I dislike my jawline. Wondering what hair length or style would best camouflage jowls. Any suggestions?
Great videos, Justin. I’m learning a lot from you! Which of your vids show how to trim your own bangs? Would love to watch it - many thanks!
Oops! Found it! Thank you
Fine hair, with more hair follicles lopsided growth. I'm guessing a side swept bang is the only option for a bang look?
Its soo good that you have done it in a better way. But how can we maintain bangs in wavy hairs. Because all the bangs were shown only on straighten hairs. So here my question is.. can we do bangs to wavy hairs as well? And how to maintain it .. i hope i will get an answer from you.?
Namastae
How about bangs for curly hair? I have 3b curls and am struggling to figure out if bangs would work.
I have a round face. I wear airy sort of bangs that you can still see through with height. I just don't like split bangs on me.
Hi, what about the ROUND FACE SHAPE, did I miss it? I need to find the video you mentioned that teaches face shapes.
Just subscribed hihi.. such a helpful video. Plz tel me wot suits d best for kind of oval heart shape face.
I’d like to see which bangs are the best for different hair type some people have curly hair some people have straight hair some people have waves
I love all your informational videos! But just wondering what do you recommend for oblong face shapes? I have a long face with a short forehead.
