Make Over Your Look with Bangs

O, The Oprah Magazine  |  From the February 2009 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine
Wispy bangs

Gunilla: Wispy

Just right: Soft, piece-y bangs camouflage forehead lines and crow's-feet, and create a frame around Gunilla's striking aqua eyes. To create this choppy effect, Patrick cut upward a bit into the lowest inch of the bangs. He also cut Gunilla's hair slightly, to chin-length, all the way around, leaving her layers a little longer in front to soften the jowl area.

Avoid this: The stark edges of strict, all-one-length bangs can emphasize lines around the eyes.
