The regular type of bangs work well with a face shape that includes a high forehead. The hair works to lessen the appearance of height, bringing all facial features into a more proportionate look. 

First determine your face shape. face shape Anne Hathaway, left, has a long hair style that is complemented with long regular bangs. She is wearing her hair in an updo for this photo. Regular hair bangs are cut either straight across the forehead at a length somewhere between short and long hair.

The bangs can be angled, allowing for the sides to be slightly longer. This kind of hair style with bangs takes your average looking style to the next level. Hair style, shown right, features a slight side swept approach for the regular bang.

With a full bang, it will be difficult to keep the bangs in the side swept position unless you use some serious hair care products. If you have long hair, you may want to try bangs in a virtual hair styling program before you get them cut, since it will take a considerable amount of time for those bangs to grow out if you do not like them.

Carol Alt, see photo right, is wearing an updo hair style with regular hair bangs. All of her hair is pulled back into a high ponytail, leaving no part.

Regular bangs that are slightly longer on the sides are left out of the updo and add softness to the hair style.

To create the extra smooth, shiny appearance, you can run a flat iron over the bangs and then spray a shine serum on the bangs.

Shine serum contains the ingredient silicone which helps to seal the cuticle, reducing frizz and adding shine.
