Master the messy fringe game in no time!
Messy fringe is the ultimate “I woke up like this” hairstyle for many men. Except most of us don’t wake up looking like a rockstar. One wrong move and that effortless vibe can slide straight into “I haven’t seen a comb in weeks.”
But there’s still a way (actually three of them!) to get your front pieces to work for your perfectly undone glam. We’ve found the easiest hair styling hacks to nail that fluffy, textured, yet defined fringe you’ve been seeing all over social media. Check them out!
Think your cap is just for hiding bedhead? Not anymore! With this cap hair hack, you’ll get the effortless lift and messy volume in minutes. Just grab your baseball cap and slip it on your damp locks.
Then, blast your fringe upward with a blow dryer for that lifted sort of bend with the bangs up front. Next, take the cap off and apply some texturizing powder for added volume. Finish off the look with some hairspray for lasting hold and enjoy your cool hairstyle!
This trick is all about controlled chaos on your head. To make it work for you, take a thin-barrel round brush, wrap your fringe around it, twist the strands down, and let the heat do the work.
What you’re left with is a subtle curl that’s just the right mix of texture and movement. Add a dusting of styling powder and scrunch the curled fringe with your fingers for a dynamic and lived-in vibe. This is your go-to method for turning plain bangs into a statement look!
Forget fancy rollers! This hack turns a simple sectioning clip into your secret weapon. Just twist your fringe like it’s on a mini Velcro roller. Then, clamp it with the clip and hit it with a blow dryer.
When you release your hair, you’ll get that natural bend and body that makes your textured bangs look styled without being stiff. It’s perfect for guys who want a low-maintenance style without spending half the morning in front of the mirror.
As you can see, the messy fringe is much easier to achieve than you might think. The secret is in the technique and good styling products that can do wonders for your locks. So, the next time you catch yourself pushing your bangs out of your eyes or feeling like your fringe has a mind of its own, remember, it only takes minutes to shape, but the results will surely last much longer!
