Avoid adding too much product to your bangs so they stay lightweight and easy to manipulate.

If you shower but your bangs dry quickly before you’re able to blow dry them, simply wet them with water again.

The water can be any temperature, just make sure your bangs are soaked through with water for the best results. Purchase dry shampoo from your local big box store or grocery store.

The synthetic and natural bristles help hold the hair in place more than a regular or large hairbrush. If you can’t use a small flat brush, a regular hairbrush will work as well.

Always point your hair dryer in the direction that you’re brushing the hair. Avoid pointing the hair dryer upwards at your bangs or it will ruin your styling. This is called the wrap technique, and it gives you the best styled bangs by creating a natural bend and eliminating unwanted texture in your bangs. Set your bangs with a cool blast from your hair dryer so they last longer.

Use a heat protectant for your hair if you’re using a flat iron. Avoid holding the heat on one section of hair for more than 3 seconds at a time to avoid damage.

Look for keywords like “light” or “flexible” on the can of hairspray when trying to pick one.

Use embellished bobby pins or clips to customize your look.

You may need to twist them rather tightly if your bangs are super short.
