BANGS for the BODY TYPES - Classic, Dramatic Classic, Soft Classic - Pt.3 of 5 

I love the way you speak about other women. You make me feel special. You are so goregous and dear. Thank you for your job, you are my fav youtuber ❤️ Greetings from Poland!

I like how considerate you are. Even if you don't particularly like a look, you always express it in a very nice way :)

my mom always tells me that I look most pretty when I take the hair out of my face and it is "clear".

You're so right about the "royalty" that these classic ladies have and that those natural, wispy hairstyles really detract from.

Too funny, I'm a soft classic and have never been able to find a fringe that suits lol. Guess I can stop trying, it's that classics and fringes don't really suit... What I love about Kibbe is it's such a relief lol

classics look so elegant!

As a dramatic classic, I've always lowkey known i look best without bangs, but also... I just love having them! I always go for angular straight dramatic bangs which suits me, when they grow out into a wispy bag deal it does not look as good! It's so interesting to learn why this all is!

Some thoughts about classic body types with naturally wavy, curly or kinky hair: (Summary: I think the recommendations of "neat", "sleek" and "smooth" hair for classics do not necessarily mean straight hair. We can think of neat, sleek and smooth in terms of haircut lines, hairstyles, hair appearance and health, frizz reduction and wave/curl/kink enhancement.) I notice that the usual hair recommendations for classics tend to cause some confusion. We hear words such as "neat", "sleek" and "smooth", and we might think that this refers to the individual hair strands, in other words, that the hair should be straight. But I don't think that this is what the recommendations actually mean! This is what I think the words "neat", "sleek" and "smooth" mean for classics with all hair types, but especially with wavy, curly or kinky hair: 1) Neat, sleek and smooth in terms of the OVERALL LINES OF THE HAIRCUT This means avoiding extremely blunt and geometric haircuts, which would be "too hard" on classics. And also avoiding haircuts with extremely long and disconnected layers, to the point where the longest layers look like thin little wisps of hair, which would be "too loose" on classics. The keyword here is EXTREMELY. Some bluntness, or some layers, is going to work better depending on your Kibbe body type (for example, a little more bluntness for dramatic classics, a little more soft layering for soft classics), your hair type (in general, more curl, more layers) and the look you are going for. 2) Neat, sleek and smooth in terms of the OVERALL LINES OF THE HAIRSTYLE Wavy, curly and kinky hair can be worn in different hairstyles (loose, updos, halfdos, braids, hair pins and clips, headbands and scarves, or combinations of these) and still work perfectly for classics. As long as the overall line of the hairstyle is still fairly balanced and contained, it can work. Once again, the keyword is EXTREMELY: avoiding hairstyles that are extremely stiff and heavy looking, extremely blunt and geometric, extremely ornate and overly delicate with too many small hair accessories, extremely bold with too many or too large hair accessories. 3) Neat, sleek and smooth in terms of OVERALL HAIR APPEARANCE AND HEALTH Is the hair (especially the ends) very thin, wispy, brittle, dry, damaged from chemicals or heat? If so, some things might help, depending on the extent of the damage: avoiding or trying to reduce chemical or heat damage, switching to a gentler hair care routine (see next item), doing some sort of deep conditioning treatment or repair treatment (you might want to see a professional for this), slowly cutting away the damaged ends of the hair over a period of months or years until you have entirely new and healthy hair, or perhaps taking the plunge and doing the "big chop" where you cut off the damaged ends all at once. 4) Neat, sleek and smooth in terms of REDUCING FRIZZ AND ENHANCING THE NATURAL WAVE, CURL OR KINK Notice that I said "reducing frizz", not "eliminating frizz". Some frizz will ALWAYS be there, no matter what! But frizz CAN be reduced, and the natural waves, curls and kinks CAN be enhanced, and this will lead to a "neat" look! My suggestion here is to learn about "the curly girl method", which is a hair care routine with guidelines on how to cleanse, condition, dry and style naturally wavy, curly or kinky hair. The idea of this hair care routine is to be gentle, by avoiding/reducing chemical and heat damage, and avoiding over stripping the natural moisture and oils from the scalp and the hair. After learning about the principles of the method and trying out different techniques and products with different ingredients, you might decide not to follow the method perfectly, to make adjustments here and there, or to look for another hair care routine, and that's OK! But understanding the principles of the curly girl method can still serve as a good starting point for changing how we think and care about wavy, curly or kinky hair.

I'm romantic but I like and comment the other ones to favour your videos in the RU-vid algorithm 😉

Sometimes I wonder how everybody pulls off bangs in japan

I'm a pure classic and I look stupid with bangs 😂 Always wondered why. Thx!

You should do a video on curly hair for the body types! how to wear their natural curls for their harmony of the body!

Absolutely love all the depth of the information you are giving us. Being a Dramatic Classic, I can only add one thing: we as Classics have a unique ability to swerve a little towards any other type (since they are in the middle) and still be able to pull that off. So if you feel like you love your bangs and they highlight your personal style and who you are, follow your intuition and cut them (the right shape though, like Aly advises)! If you feel you need a change, you can do either, it's hair and it grows out. I've had both and no bags=elegant clean look, bangs=edgy, statement look. You choose!

I just love your expression:"takes away some chique". It's very cute and apt! And I agree with everything 💜

I think the main issue with classics having bangs is when they have wispy bangs that are more of a 'natural' vibe. I'm a classic and I think I look better with bangs but mine are more like Olivia Wilde's when she has the sleek ponytail. I think sleek statement bangs can look good on classics. Also, these women are all very beautiful celebrities hence their faces look incredible with no bangs. For those of us with less perfect features, bangs can definitely help 😂

I loveeee these videos and appreciate you!

Aly, I wonder if you'll cover the "Rachel" haircut that was so popular from the tv show Friends. Did it look so good on Jennifer Aniston because she was a natural? I still hear hairstylists talk about how many women wanted "the Rachel".

These were great examples but I wish one of the people you mentioned had naturally textured hair and wore it that way. I typed myself as a SC (maybe I'm wrong) but my hair is very thick, dense, and a mix of waves and loose curls. I understand classics look best when their look is smooth, symmetrical, and sleek, and I think an example of someone with textured hair who does achieve a classic look would be helpful for those of us who don't have straight hair and don't want to alter our texture.

You are honestly one of my absolute favourite youtubers ✨ you videos are always straight to the point an with great content ! ☺️

I agree with everything besides that I personaly like Dacota Johnson with bangs. I am a soft classic and I myself was experimenting with hair and bangs a lot. I think it is because our face is not as obviously clear as classics' or dramatic classics' faces/bodies and we are not so sure what suits us. It is hard for me to find the perfect hairstyle.

Loving this video series. I would love to see one on ethnic hair at some point? I’m a black girl, soft classic and wonder where more Afrocentric styles fit in, afros, curls, braids, etc. 💛

Love your thoughts and explanations, Aly. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us, ever so grateful! Take care 💛

Hey thanks Aly, I'm a soft classic and I appreciate that you said we don't need bangs because our face is enough. However, that's not my case because I have curly hair and it's weird because even if it's curly it's so thin that lacks volume, so it looks better on me when I have it short to the shoulders in a bob style. So I also look so much better with bangs on the side while my hairline is on the center. Why? Because it creaters volume on my forehead and also makes my high cranial top look bigger wich benefits me because my face looks smaller. I saw your previous video about bangs and I'm grateful you mentioned this on the curly bangs type ❤

when u said: short bangs, gaminish bangs, i was so happy, cause i am a gamine and i cut short bangs before u uploaded bangs series.

I'm a DC and after all these years of wearing bangs I finally understand the problem. I had them similar to Dakota's, even tried Marion's baby bangs once, it still looked cute but somehow not suited to me. Now at 27 I'm finally embracing letting my whole face show. If youre a classic I definitely recommend avoiding bangs or at least styling them so they stay off the face. Great video!

I have that Olivia Wilde-esque square face and you calling her face beautiful and powerful when she's not hiding it was so inspiring. It's so annoying trying to hide it and like you said "pretend to be somebody else." Embrace the square 😂⬜

Thank you so much! I suspected for a while that I am a classic, but was never anywhere near sure. All those examples of classics here, really have reassured me, that I am indeed classic as well. (And I never looked my best with bangs either :D )

Thank you so much 🙏🏼 i am a soft classic and your are completely right 😍 thanks again for all those tips Your number one fan from Egypt 🇪🇬

I think I'm a soft natural so I can't wait to see the natural video! I tried straight flat bangs once. It looked so baaaaaad. :D And tiny gamine bangs. I looked so weird.

I'm a DC and I feel like without bangs, I look GREAT but I love bangs too much to let it go. I have micro bangs that are a little above my eyebrows and I think they look amazing but I want short hair to match the whole short look. Let's pray I can somehow try no bangs again

Classics need everything neat, clean, and crisp. Every time I have something slightly wispy or not accurate, I look sloppy and messy. For hair, clean lines and some volume is everything.

I'm a dramatic classic but I'll definitely not give up on my bangs. I love them and my forehead just looks completely horrible without them. Besides everyone has a different mixture of yin and yang. So there are surely classics that can pull of bangs and other who can less.

I finally understand why I shouldn't have bangs. Every couple of years I try and every time I feel there is something not right. :-D Thank you. I will never try again ..LOL

I think I’m a classic! So much makes sense now! The last example really looked like me!

Thank you so much Aly! I'd love to see Soft Classic examples with curls and bangs.

I love love LOVE your work! You’ve researched Kibbe and given us so much useful info. You’d be an incredible stylist or personal shopper.

Please, do gamines next, I'm going to a hairdresser on Saturday

You're a genious keeep it up girl ♡

As a soft classic, this just confirms the sudden realisation I had today haha, no bangs are better for classics. Thank you so much!

If you could please include women with naturally curly hair with each face type, it would be really nice. You seem to be really knowledgeable. More diversity in terms of hair types and ethnicity would be much appreciated

Dramatic/soft classic with a huge forehead/wide nose here. I always thought I looked better with bangs, but now I'm not sure.

So that’s why bangs don’t work for me! I think now I can appreciate the clean , simple not too severe or frilly or tousled is better for the different classics . Awesome video!🌷

i can tell i‘m a natural because i look terrible in sleek, pulled back and clean hair (and also with very feminine hair)

I adore your videos! You make your points so clear, but you still sound very respectful towards the people you're commenting on :) The examples you've chosen are great, it really shows that royal, chic look! Looking forward to more videos :) Thank you for making in interested in Kibbe!

Classics... Sophisticated yet cute

Thank you Aly! Yes I agree overall Classics look better with no bangs. If any, the long side swept is nice. I learned in this video as a classic to stay away from hair that is too tousled.

These bangs versus no bangs comparisons were really impressive!

This is so weird before I knew i was soft classic this has always been true, bangs don't really fit me so ive always had my hair open and sleek and I didn't know that was why xD

9:17 soft classic

I'm so in love with this video, I'm a dramatic classic and forever I've felt like I was really limited in my hair styles, as much as I want to do chunky, layered stuff, you are totally right, I look best when my face is clear of distraction

I hear you and yet, I still haven't found THE haircut that gives this wow effect... I'm a soft classic but nothing seems to make my eyes pop or anything. It's quite frustrating.

Girl, you are spot on in your analyses. I finally figured out that I’m a DC after being confused over the choices. I have been wearing Long Beach waves and tousled hair and it occurred to me I got many more compliments when I did an asymmetrical Bob a few years back. Thanks for the info.

I think I’m a soft classic when it comes to bones and such (although I might be gamine? I’m torn). I can see that many classics look better without bangs, but my hair area is very small. I also have 3c curly hair. So I’m very torn on what kind of hair style looks best on me. There’s so many factors, it’s so daunting. I’ve been watching these videos to hopefully get an idea 😅

In my opinion nina dobrev should really not wear bangs i dont think it looks good at all.

Thank you so much for this video! I'm a soft classic growing out a pixie cut, and needed these inspiration photos as I'm frustrated with the messy 'in between' stages of growing my hair. Thanks!

Pls do a Jennifer Connelly or Salma Hayek makeup transformation

Nice job. I see what you are saying. There really is a pure beauty in classics, that doesn’t improve with adding more of anything!

I'm a classic and I had bangs cut two weeks ago... I must say it looks good, I wanted to hide my forehead a bit, but it feels like I lost part of my beauty, idk, it's weird

Wow, I just typed in Olivia Wilde images, and her beauty just shines out without hair dangling over her forehead. She looks too pretty and dolly with a fringe. Absolutely gorgeous without.

Wow, I think this is one of your best videos in the body type series! One question I had about bangs for Classics. It seems that you tend to recommend no bangs for Classics except for some Dramatic Classics, is that correct?

I'm a dramatic classic with a 5head and I've always known I don't need bangs;)

And here I am... Cursing myself for not researching before grabbing some Kitchen scissors and just cut my bangs ..

That's a very interesting observation, how classics look without bangs. Thanks for another great video, Aly! :)

Can you please do a bathing suit/bikini's for the body types? I really love this series it has helped me a lot in feeling more confident in my body type and what to do to compliment it.

Wow I am SO shocked by the example of the actress from Mad Men, I have never seen her with bangs and I literally did not recognize her until I saw her without the bangs -- the difference and the elegance that is her without the bangs and without the layered cut is so clear to me now! Now I know I don't suit an elaborate cut or bangs either.

The sad thing is, that sometimes we recreate looks to give a statement about how we feel we are but at the end we cannot carry it because we just are what we are.

love you aly.. thank you very much.. great videos

You are the only person who has made me feel beautiful in regards to my nose. I love your videos ❤️❤️❤️

I love this video so much! I was never sure about my kibbe type but thanks to you I am more sure about being a soft classic. I was wearing bangs and it was... OK. But when I have a clear forehead.... it just look so much more chic and elegant! Thank you again!

Can you talk about naturally curly hair for the classics?

I wish you had included curly hair in this. Also I have a Rihanna going on and was thinking about cutting bangs but I'm not so sure about it now.

Hello! Thank you for your brilliant videos! I am a faithful follower with a kind request..I would love a tutorial on Auroras makeup. She always manages to have this pale fresh naked look and I’m sure you can figure out how she achieves it. Once again thank you 😊 ❤️

okay, so classic are the only body types which doesn't looks the best with a bang :o ??

I've always had very blunt straight across bangs and yesterday I asked my hairdresser to make them a bit 'lighter' for the summer so she decided to give me wispy bangs... and now i look like a clown 😔 can't wait for them to grow out, it's a real hair disaster

That's why I never looked good with bangs. My forehead is quite large, so i try to hide it with bang every 1.5years in average. I always instantly regret, but then I forget and do it again...i look always better with an open face, in spite of my larger forehead (like dakota johnson's). But I think she looks very good with bangs

Yayyy! Classics! I am glad to know that I wasn’t that off in hair style. I usually have that side hair or on the middle however, my hair is wavy and frizzy sometimes and I used to cut it layered (like for naturals) now I know I have to keep it as neat as possible. Last time I went to the stylist she suggested to keep it all the same length and I dismissed it, she was right!!! Definitely life changing!

Im dramatic classic and i have a big forehead 😭😂 no offense, but the ladies you showed have small or perfect foreheads so of course they look better without 90% of the time

I don’t know if it’s just me but Soft Classics can be cute maybe it’s more with some than others . Marion and Naomi have a cuteness especially Naomi. It varies in their looks but I think they have it. It could be confusing as you don’t think of it with the Classic types.

Now I know I can't never wear bangs xD I never haven't, for some reason, and now, I understand that maybe it was somewhat intuitive... Thank you, Aly, for the great content :)

But I always thought I look better with bangs :(

Hi! I have a question, I would like to ask you if you could do Jenniefer Lawrence as an example for soft natural? I look a lot like her and I struggle to find out what best suits my bodytype. Maybe she is a hard one to figure out, I dont know but if you can do it I would appreciate it soo much! I looove that you make these longer takes on what fits the bodytypes! Love your work, Thank you for sharing!

Thank you!! I love this whole series dedicated to specific body types, so much food for thought

Hi Aly. I absolutely love your videos and I personally find them the most informative on Kibbe types. Can you help me distinguish between theatrical romantic and soft classic? I have taken the test several times, and the result that I got based on my own answers was Theatrical Romantic. Then I took the test twice with the help of two objective friends and based on both set of answers I got soft classic. Honestly it's been very confusing for me, since I'm very curvy and have a luscious body, and none of the examples shown for soft classic are as curvy as I am. It would be great if you can help me with this. Love your content

I just binge watched your series and took notes. So DAMN helpful! Thank you so much, i´m already hyped for Bangs for the Naturals

January jones look better with natural style because she has wind ethereal , ethereals are very important they complete body type theorie and explain the exceptions

Wow, so true with Dakota Johnson. She does look amazing without the bangs. Hope she discovers this!

I just cant figure out what body type I am. All i know is that I have had bangs all my life and as much as I hate them due to more work, I dont feel like I look good without bangs, which is a rare because most people can pull off either or.

Im letting my bangs grow this quarantine and I think i made the right choice 💕 soft classic here

I love Olivia wilde with straight bangs, so beautiful

It's funny to me how I always mixed up Naomi Watts, January Jones, and Diane Kruger, and they're all in the classics category haha! Makes sense to me as to why :)

Im a soft classic and I have a Very High for head so bangs look better

I’ve always hated and tried to hide my big forehead. I just did a bit of makeup and swept my hair back.... it does look good! thanks for the new perspective. Gonna rock the big forehead now 😂

Every time I’ve tried bangs it looks horrifying! Now I know why. (Soft classic)

How did I have the exact opposite reaction to every picture she showed?

My takeaway from this video is “Don’t get bangs”. Thank you lol

Absolutely right for soft classics. I am that body type and I remember when I cut blunt, straight bangs I kind of lost a part of my personality. Can't even explain it, it was very strange, and ever since I have never cut my bangs. Sooo much better just without them. 😁

Why dont you add a tier to your patreon where you help your viewers figure out their body type? I think lots of people would be interested

Hi Aly and everyone: 1.) If a middle parting dont suit me/my face, is this a sign, that i am not a C/DC ? 2.) And what is when i have to ware Glasses?

Why not to take pictures of women from the street and not movie stars. I think for many women bangs give magic to their faces, bangs beautifully ornate faces. It gives more sophisticated look rather than just pulled backwards and tied with a ban hair. It's only my opinion and the more opinions we have the more beautiful we look my dears!
