3. The Comb Over Bangs

This set of cascading bangs is spectacular. You can use a little bit of hair wax to comb them over to one side of your forehead. It will work well especially if you have an angular or a square face because it will soften it a little bit.

4. Long Bangs

You can also try the version with overly long bangs. To make the haircut even shaggier, simply run your fingers through your hair and scruff it up every chance you get. Hair tends to flatten out during the day, so you need to prevent that.
