To style your curtain bangs, use a blowdryer and a medium-barrel round brush, directing the airflow away from your face and backwards for the best results.
Here's a breakdown of how to style your curtain bangs effectively:
Key Tool: A medium-barrel round brush is your best friend for creating that signature curtain bang swoop.
Steps for Styling:
-
Start with Damp Hair: While you can style on dry hair, starting with damp hair (towel-dried after washing) will help set the style and hold it longer.
-
Blow Dry Away from the Face: This is the crucial step. Take a section of your bangs and place the round brush underneath. Using the blowdryer, direct the airflow downwards and away from your face. Roll the brush backward as you dry. Repeat this on each section of your bangs, focusing on creating volume and a gentle curve.
-
Repeat and Refine: You may need to repeat the blow-drying process a few times to achieve the desired shape and volume.
-
Finishing Touches (Optional):
- Hairspray: Lightly spritz with hairspray to hold the style.
- Straightener: For extra definition, you can use a straightener to slightly curve the ends outwards, but be careful not to overdo it. A very gentle flick is all you need.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- Frizz: Use an anti-frizz serum or oil on damp hair before blow-drying.
- Flat Bangs: Ensure you're lifting the bangs with the round brush as you blow dry to create volume at the root. Consider using a root-lifting spray before drying.
- Bangs Falling in Your Face: Make sure you're directing the airflow away from your face. Hairspray can also help keep them in place.
By using these techniques and adapting them to your hair type and length, you can easily achieve perfectly styled curtain bangs.
