It might be tempting to cover a large forehead with thick blunt bangs. However, it might not always be a flattering solution. In particular, a lot depends on whether your whole face is long or only the top third of it is.
If your face is long, covering the forehead with a thicker bangs will visually balance the length and draw attention to the eyes. However, if your top is significantly bigger than middle and lower thirds, getting blunt bangs can eventually make your face look short. In this case, off-center or side-swept bangs will be a better choice.
At the same time, if you have an M-shaped hairline, side bangs are the type of bangs to avoid, as it makes you dispose the highest part of your forehead. You can find some great examples and expert recommendations in this video:
