Keep your bangs styled to perfection with one tool only!
Let’s be honest, styling curtain bangs can be exhausting. All those roll-and-pull motions with a round brush are not for the faint-hearted, especially if time is not on your side. Luckily, there are many ways to make this routine faster and a tad easier for you, all while saving your locks from being tangled around the brush.
We’ve gathered three life-saving hair hacks for curtain bangs, and the only styling tool you need for them is a good old flat iron. So, what are you waiting for? Go get your straightener and try them out!
This is perhaps one of the easiest ways to get those signature flippy ends that make curtain bangs so popular. First things first, section off your fringe and bring both sides together. Take your flat iron and start straightening the front section, moving from the roots to the tips while applying tension.
As soon as the hot tool reaches the tips, flip the straightener inwards, as if you’re wrapping your bangs around the barrel. Release the hair and let that curled section cool off a bit to seal the shape. Finally, flip your bangs towards the back and enjoy a perfect face-framing look in minutes!
Your fringe looks flat and boring? We’ve got you here! For this K-Pop hair trick, you’ll need a flat iron and a brush to transform your bangs from drab to fab with only a few steps. Section your bangs first and then glide it through with a straightener by holding the tool horizontally at the roots and pulling it all the way back.
In this way, it gets nice and curled. For extra volume, lift the root with a hot tool, just like in the video. The result is a bouncier, more voluminous fringe that makes any hairstyle unforgettable.
This bangs styling hack is great for a longer fringe as it maintains the natural movement of face-framing strands and introduces a flippy ‘curtain-like’ effect. All you need to do is section out the front strands – those are usually a bit shorter – and straighten them with a flat iron by moving up and towards the back. When you set the bangs down, the ends will flip away from the face.
Next, take the longer pieces and flick them back, one section at a time. This will maintain the natural wispiness of the look and keep each hair tendril in place — as if you actually put in some effort. And just like that, you’ve mastered the art of styling curtain bangs effortlessly.
If you’ve ever fallen victim to flat and plastered bangs, these styling tricks might be your way out. Don’t have bangs just yet? Try our bangs AI filter to test different styles and lengths before committing to the fringe look. Your perfect glam is just one click away!
