And trust us when we say that you do not want to be in that situation! The best bangs are the ones that are a perfect balance between what you want and what your stylist manages. Here's how you can choose the perfect side bangs, by first knowing the types:

These are the most versatile and vivacious bangs that bring out the eccentricity in you. If you want a soft and feminine look, these are your best bet. These are best for straight hair. If you have wavy or curly hair, you may have to flat iron your tresses.

These are the best bet for those with square or round faces, as these bangs give the illusion of an elongated face with sharper cheekbones. This is also a great option if you have a high forehead.

These are a good option of side bangs for those who stick with short hair. It is good for messy and short hairdos. This is especially good for those who have good neck contours.

If you want a chic hairstyle with messy hairdos, this is your best bet. These bangs are cut chaotically and have jagged edges to give volume. It's the best bet for those who have short-to-medium hair lengths. Now that you know how to choose the perfect side bangs for yourself, it's time to look at all the edgy types that you can pick.

Well, we always start with the classics. These are simple side bangs which end well above your eyes and yet cover almost 75% of your forehead. If you have a large forehead, this one works best. It is also the easiest to maintain. Just keep a hair spray handy.

Think about your bangs sexily skimming your eyes, but not exactly coming in the way of your vision. It's a lazy and casual take and works very well for those with any length of hair, mostly straight. It's cute and looks super sexy.

Well, why not? Pixie cuts are cool, crazy and edgy. Add side bangs to the equation and you have a bold cut. Also, if you think that a simple pixie cut is boyish, then adding a side bang can give it the feminine perk that you want. Add spunk with the highlights if you so wish.

Well, long bangs? Bring it on! If you have medium or short-medium length hair, this is an amazing option to pick. These side bangs have a tousled, sexy and messy look about them. In case you wish to sweep them off your face, you can obviously pin it up.

If you do not want solid bangs that are literally opaque, wispy and delicate side bangs are the way to go. These look quite like beachy waves, just on the forehead and these soften your entire look quite significantly.

If you have long hair, chances are you may not want to experiment that much with your mane. In that case, long layers are your best bet. Adding side bangs to the equation will make the hairstyle a lot more interesting. In case you wish to take the side bangs off your face, you could always pin it up.

Side bangs go well with all hair lengths and styles. If you have a tousled long bob, adding a long fringe to it works quite well. In fact, you can have your fringe merge with the front layers, giving volume to the entire hairstyle.

Well, an edgy bob is one with textured and clear cut edges. Side bangs, when added to this haircut, are often sculpted and cut into a V-shape. These are mostly brushed to the side and put emphasis on the eyes. The edgy bob ends just below the chin so this highlights the cheekbones as well.

A feathered haircut is soft and 'lifts' flat hair. A feathered side bang does exactly that to the top half of your face. This kind of side bang is not flat like the others. It is best done with straight and long layers wherein the rest of the hair is simple and all the action takes place in the fringe.

This one is great for emphasizing cheekbones and gives an illusion of a toned and elongated face. This one is perfect for thinning hair and is good for round faces as it gives a slimming effect.

Why not go for a **long bob **with side bangs? This stresses the bone structure and angles of the face and creates an overall softening effect. It also gives the illusion of an elongated neck with the tapered edges of the cut.

If you have fine hair and want to add oomph to the look, nothing does it like a flipped bang with flicked-up ends. It will need a little maintenance with a ceramic round brush and a thermal protectant.

This one is another take on the classic cut. If you like to sport short hair, these side bangs can add an edge to a simple haircut. These layers are chunky in nature with feathery ends, giving an overall mussed-up look, especially with the rest of the hairstyle sleek.

If you are a fan of gothic hairdos, this one's for you. It's usually perfect for those with straight hair who want an edgy side bang to add some quirk to it.
