How to properly style your bangs on a daily basis?

Taylor Swift, Dakota Johnson, Hailey Bieber, Lilly Allen… several are the stars who have adopted THE trend that comes back every season and can be worn according to everyone's whims, provided they respect the morphology of their face. But although it is super stylish, it does require quite a bit of care and maintenance. Rebellious locks, hair that is difficult to tame, frizz… the bangs are difficult to put in place, which makes regrowth a real pain. It can therefore very easily become a real hair headache on a daily basis. Instead of regretting and typing on Google things like "How to grow back your bangs fast?" », it is better to assume it and master the art of styling it well.

Fringe for everyone? The fringe, like the square cut, is one of the greatest hair classics that can be revisited endlessly. However, this hairstyle does not go well with all faces. It goes particularly well with oval and fine faces which can without hesitation adopt a long or straight fringe. On the other hand, little faces should avoid it. In order not to hide their pretty features, they can opt for a curtain or unstructured fringe. A simple long wick on the side will also be very suitable. It is also perfect for breaking the roundness of the face. For the less daring, you can bet on fake clip-on bangs.

Brief history of Fringe

Before learning the art and how to properly style your bangs, focus on its brief history. Over the years, it has been worn in different ways: straight in 1920, parted in the middle of the forehead in 1930, long and rolled in 1950. As for the Rideau fringe, currently very trendy, it was popularized over the years by Brigitte Bardot who wore it blond and rounded! Today, the fringe, and in particular the curtain version, has become the preferred hair choice of several beautistas on social networks and on the red carpet. When it is well adopted, it is the key to a successful retro appearance that leaves no one indifferent! So, here is without further ado how to pamper it, regardless of the type chosen.

How to adopt and style your curtain bangs?

If we have to define the hottest type of bangs of the moment, it is undoubtedly the bangs that sweep on both sides of the forehead. Ideal for enhancing a round, oval or square face, the "curtain bang" is very suitable for smooth, thick and voluminous hair. Even fine hair is not spared. The only requirement? Use a styling mousse or backcomb your locks to create volume. Those who must however persist are the curly manes.

If you also want to sport the curtain trend without fault of taste, wear your bangs smooth or thick. For a retro chic look, make it more domed Brigitte Bardot style by styling it carefully with a hair dryer and a round brush. Otherwise, the curtain fringe does not neglect any cut or trendy hairstyle. You can then marry it as well with a plunging square as with a fuzzy bun or a false fishtail braid.

How to style bangs that are too long? As already mentioned, the bangs that grow back are a real pain. We rarely know how to style it and how to blend it into the hair? While waiting for your monthly appointment with the hairdresser, you can stay on top with a few simple things to do. So start by separating the fringe in two by making a central parting. Apply a thermo-active treatment and style your bangs outward with a straightener. Spray a little hairspray for an optimal finish during the day. Note: This way of styling your long bangs works just as well on wavy hair.

To give movement to the XL fringe, draw a parting on the side and spray a thermo-active treatment before moving on to the smoothing step. With the straightener, transform your bangs into a wick on the side. Apply a cloud of hairspray. If you want to avoid the straightener, however, opt for a few pins or barrettes to put it on the side. You can also crimp it before folding it back with pin-up pins.

Another smart and trendy way to style her long bangs that grow back is to do a plaited braid on the top of the head. Take your bangs and a large strand close to it. Separate everything into three sections and start braiding towards the back of the head. Finish the braid by forming a half bun. Following the same principle, you can make a plaited braid on the side or two Dutch braids with a central parting. When it comes to a braided hairstyle, there are many variations.

Wearing bangs in the summer can be annoying, but wearing bangs at the beach is even worse! Which styling method to prefer for your holidays? Before heading to the seaside, tie your hair in a ponytail or a bun with a big, colorful hair scrunchie to protect it from both the sun and the salt water. Do the same with your bangs by tying it with barrettes or a bandana. Thus, it will not swell under the effect of heat while your forehead will remain clear.

Besides the attached bangs, the one on the side is also very suitable for the beach. So before going to the beach, dry it in the direction of the desired side. It will thus more easily undergo the inconveniences of the sun. You can also help yourself with a barrette. As for girls whose bangs play an important role in their good looks, you probably aren't ready to sacrifice it for a few hours at the beach. However, please note that the heat and the sun are as damaging to your skin as they are to your fringed hairstyle.
