Bang style chart: six types, four face shapes, a blank face

A bangs chart lets you point at the fringe you mean. One set of pictures names six types: Curtain, Blunt, Wispy, Side-swept, Baby bangs and Birkin, each drawn over the brow. Another matches Oval, Round, Square and Heart faces to the bang that suits each. A third is an empty face with the forehead bare, for sketching a fringe. Type a look, such as curly bangs, and the chart is drawn for it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which bang suits my face?

The face-shape pictures pair each shape with a bang. Find your face shape and read the fringe written beneath it.

Will the chart show my exact hair?

No. The faces are simple line drawings with the hair kept plain, so the fringe is the only detail to read.

Can I type a different bang?

Yes. Type the bang or look you want, such as curly bangs, and the chart is drawn with it in place of the six shown.

What is the difference between the three styles?

The line chart uses thin black ink, the colored fringe fills each bang in chestnut brown, and the pencil sketch is soft graphite with light construction lines.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
