Getting used to bangs on your forehead involves training your hair and adjusting to the new sensation and styling routine.
Here's a breakdown of techniques to help you adjust:
-
Start with Damp Hair: Begin styling when your hair is damp. This allows you to reshape the bangs more easily.
-
Use a Styling Product: Apply a small amount of mousse or styling cream to your bangs. This helps control and train them to lay flat.
-
Blow-Dry Correctly: Use a small round brush to blow-dry your bangs from side to side. This prevents them from separating and helps them lie flat across your forehead. Blow-drying immediately after washing trains them to lay properly.
-
Train Your Hair: Consistent styling, especially immediately after washing, trains your hair to sit in the desired position. The more you style them, the better they will behave.
-
Consider the Style: Certain bang styles are easier to get used to than others. Side-swept bangs or longer, textured bangs might be less bothersome initially than blunt, thick bangs.
-
Manage Oiliness: Forehead oil can make bangs stick together or appear greasy. Use blotting papers throughout the day to absorb excess oil. Dry shampoo can also help.
-
Patience is Key: It takes time to adjust to the feeling of hair on your forehead. Be patient and consistent with your styling routine. Over time, you'll become less aware of them.
-
Consider a Trim: As your bangs grow, they may become more irritating. Regular trims (every 2-4 weeks) help maintain the desired length and shape, making them easier to manage.
-
Avoid Touching: Resist the urge to constantly touch or adjust your bangs. This transfers oil and can cause them to separate or become messy.
By following these tips and maintaining a consistent hair care routine, you can successfully get used to having bangs and enjoy your new hairstyle.
