Learn how to hide your overgrown bangs before your next hair salon visit.
If you’ve ever had a fringe, you probably found yourself in this awkward stage when your bangs are too long to wear comfortably. Now that your favorite hairstyles with bangs no longer look cute on you, and you’re in search of more practical and comfy ‘dos, we have some smart hair ideas just for you!
To all those beauties growing out bangs right now, here are three life-saving hair hacks to wear your untrimmed fringe with no regrets! Try these easy tricks and forget about all hair frustrations.
One way to live through the awkward bangs phase is to make your fringe blend in seamlessly with the rest of your hair. And what could be better than braids that hold your bangs in place? Start out by sectioning your front strands from the rest of the hair and creating two mini braids just behind them.
For extra cuteness and a splash of color, add some ribbons to your braids as you go. Now for the fun part – take both sections of your bangs and pull them through your mini braids. Pin the ends with a bobby pin and cover it with some hair to hide the bangs. Ta-da! Your no-bangs look is ready.
This trick is great for those wishing to grow out their bangs and get them off the face. To recreate this style, you’ll need tiny elastics. Divide your bangs into two sections from the middle and tie one side with an elastic. Then, join this mini ponytail with the section just behind your bangs and tie it with another elastic.
Repeat the process on the other side, and don’t forget to fluff up those tied sections for a more effortless look. Level up your hairstyle with soft beach waves. The hack works great on short and long tresses.
Every girl with natural curls knows that growing out bangs takes some real discipline. So, if you’re fed up with your curly eye-skimming bangs, this hack is for you. Just style your curly mane as usual and take a hair clip. Pull your bangs back with a hand as if you’re about to wear a headband.
Clip your bangs at the front, closer to the roots and cover the clip with your curls. The trick makes your bangs look shorter and gives you enough time to grow them out without being constantly stressed out by the hair length.
Sometimes, no-bangs days are exactly what your hair needs. Whether you’re tired of your fringe or trying to grow it out, these easy hair tricks are at your service!
