To start off, I've always adored the look of blunt bangs but have never had the guts to get them. Now I'm craving a change, and I'm thinking bangs might be exactly what I need. I need to have my decision on what to do with my hair made by tomorrow, when the hair appointment is. By bangs, I mean a similar style to the lovely Zooey Deschanel's bangs. But I have a few issues. First off, I've heard blunt bangs don't suit round faces so well. And I'm not sure how I'd feel about the combination of my new glasses with bangs. So I'm in need of a few opinions. Do you think bangs would be flattering/suit my face or should I keep my hair the way it is? Also, my apologies for the horrible quality of this picture. I don't have any pictures of myself in my glasses, so I had to use a black and white picture a friend took of me ages ago. Some added information; my hair is naturally wavy but can be brushed straight or scrunched to extremely curly and it is a veeeeeery natural looking ombré. Not brown to blonde ombré, like a brown to light brown/auburn ombré. Thanks in advance for your answers!(:

Omg you're really pretty! And I'm not sure exactly how it would look but you could go to a beauty supply store and try on the fake bangs and see if you like them.

Yes, if you round the ends slightly to blend and even out your forehead. I'd really like it if you'd help me achieve ombré. I failed miserably using blonde on its own. It didn't take.

I think bangs would look cute on you :) I go back too bangs all the time, I love the look, and I wear glasses too! Glasses and bangs is a nice combination!
You should always ask your hair stylist if the cut will suit your face shape, she's the expert on that, and if she's a good stylist she will tell you the truth :)

You would look so cute with bangs! If you're too scared to get blunt, then try side swept bangs or wispy bangs, then gradually work your way to blunt.

Thanks Sapphire! I've had ombré done twice, once a drastic ombré from dark from to medium blonde, and now a very natural ombré. With your dark hair, you will need to bleach it. There are many natural ways to do this, but the most effective way would be to use actual bleach. As long as you care for your hair it shouldn't become majorly unhealthy. Also, you're not bleaching your entire head so you can always cut off the bleached ends if you get sick of it. After lightening it, either apply the color/colors you want over the bleached hair or use something on top of the bleached pieces to even out the color and tones of it to get it to the color you want. Are you doing the ombré yourself, or going to a salon?(:

I think you have more of a heart shaped face! So pretty! Reese Witherspoon also has that face shape and she's had so many super cute hairstyles with bangs! I think you could definitely pull it off! Do some layers on the side/front of your face would be cute with bangs, too!
