Managing Your Bangs

Lets face it bangs are hot right now.
Everywhere you turn, you’re seeing another hairstyle with some sort of bang. Either straight-layered, side-angled, short or long, everyone is rockin’ the bangs.
For those of us that are new to the bang world, managing your freshly cut bangs are another story all in it’s own.
Our hairstylists know exactly how to cut and style bangs. However, when we try and recreate their creations at home, we sometimes have, what I like to call, issues.

Here are a few tips that may help you get your bangs looking their best...

• Always blow-dry your bangs down towards your face.
• With a round brush, start at the root of your hair and work your way down to the tips of the bangs.
• To eliminate the bump that you may have created from the round brush, try using a flatiron to get those bangs pin straight.
• Perhaps you want a bit of roundness to your bangs. After blow-drying, set two Velcro rollers in your bangs, one behind the other.
• Spray your bangs with a light hold hairspray and let the rollers set for a few minutes.
• Remove the rollers, brush and style your bangs to your desired look.

Get creative with your new look. Feel free to apply a light wax to give your hair a bit of texture. If you do end up using a flatiron, remember to use a deep conditioning treatment, as the heat applied to your hair may damage it. When you have your new bangs hairstyle just the way you want it, give your hair a light spritz of hairspray to keep your beautiful new tresses in place.
