Styling Front Bangs
The video shows a method for styling curtain bangs with layers but the core principles of setting front bangs apply to various styles. Here’s how to approach it:
- Preparation:
- Start with clean, slightly damp or dry bangs. If they're freshly washed, use a leave-in conditioner or styling spray to reduce frizz and add control.
- Sectioning:
- Divide your bangs into manageable sections. This helps ensure each part is styled evenly.
- Using a Hair Roller:
- The video demonstrates using a hair roller. Roll your bangs up towards your forehead, ensuring the roller is near the roots.
- This is particularly useful for achieving volume and a gentle curve.
- Secure the roller and let it set while styling the rest of your hair.
- Heat Styling (Optional):
- If your bangs are not already styled, you can use a hair dryer and a round brush to shape them.
- Direct the airflow downward while curving the brush inward or outward, depending on your preferred style.
- A flat iron can also be used to create sleek, straight bangs or gently curved edges.
- Be cautious with heat, using a heat protectant is recommended.
- Styling the rest of your hair
- As seen in the video, while the hair roller is setting the bangs, continue with the rest of your hairstyling.
