Demi Lovato isn’t exactly a newbie when it comes to bangs. Over the years, she’s experimented with side fringe, though Lovato’s mainly known for her long, dark, wavy hair. That was until she dyed it blonde and got thick, blunt bangs.

But not everyone is a fan of the new look. “The full, straight down bang can overwhelm a rounder face shape like Demi’s,” says Knudsen. Instead, Knudsen recommends a side-swept bang or longer fringe for Lovato, which will elongate the pop star’s face.
