3 Ways To Style Bangs

HOW TO STYLE BANGS

I constantly get questions on my hair tutorials about how I style my bangs, so today I'm sharing my tips and tricks in styling the perfect bangs! The first step to having great bangs has a lot to do with how you get them cut. My longtime stylist told me it's not just about what you take out, but what you leave in. My current bangs situation is my own doing (and needs a little evening out, I see...) but normally when I leave his chair, they're top notch. I used to have my bangs in a blunt cut that didn't suit my face, and when he introduced those longer sides, it felt so much more natural on me. Less severe. More versatile! I can wear them so many different ways, but these three are my favorite: the traditional full bangs, Bardot bangs, and side-swept bangs.

0:03 FULL BANGS:

It's kind of rare that I wear my bangs fully down, but I love having the option. Since they're a little on the longer side, I give them some lift at the roots with volumizing spray and a large round brush.

1. Spritz hair with volumizing spray
2. Roll with a large round brush
3. Blow dry in a downward motion, rolling the brush as you go
4. Comb into place

0:35 BARDOT BANGS:

These can be done with a blow dryer as well -- just split down the center, shape, and spritz in place. But normally I like the way these look more with a curling iron because I get a little bit more of a structured shape to them and they'll lay in place. Also, since I was continuing from the first bangs, I didn't spritz them again -- but normally using a heat protectant or volumizing spray before curling can make all the difference.

1. Separate bangs and clip.
2. Curl the first part in two sections with a 1.25" curling iron.
3. Curl the top under and comb it all out.
4. Separate down the middle and shape with your fingers, "molding" your hair in the direction you want it to sit. Do this when they're freshly curled, as that's when they'll set!
5. Finish with a workable finishing hairspray

1:36 SIDE-SWEPT BANGS:

Bobby said these are the most "me" bangs, although I do a 50/50 split between Bardot and side-swept. Using product and a curling iron (or a large round brush with a blow dryer -- but again, I prefer the curling iron most days!) takes them from flat and limp to full and sculpted, the way I like them.

1. Spritz hair with volumizing spray
2. Curl under with a 1.25" curling iron.
3. Brush them out
4. Sweep to the side and shape with your fingers, then comb it all out
5. Finish with a workable finishing hairspray

That's it! Which bangs are your favorite?
